LCFC Chairman on Ground Sharing

[webmaster]

it would become "The Walkers Stadium, home to the Tigers and also to lcfc "

No it wouldn't. It hasn't happened at any of the other clubs where they share grounds, football is still the most popular sport in the country and in Leicester, the football team will always be given precedence by the media etc - you only have to listen to the sport news on local radio, or read the back page of the Mercury to see that, football is nearly always the lead item.

Maybe Tigers fans will think of the stadium in the way you describe, but why would you care what they think?

This whole issue comes down to one question for me. Do we want to be successfull or not?

If we do not groundshare or attract major investment from somewhere then IMO we will not be successfull.

I for one am willing to take a risk with the groundshare if it provides us with a better chance of success. I do not want to watch cr@p football for years and years, and I think more and more will walk away the longer we spend at this level.

How successful will we be with the groundshare? We'll never win the Premiership, the Champions League, the UEFA Cup... we might stretch to an FA or League Cup but that would still be half-luck, not improved by whether we have a little more money, we still wouldn't be favourites. Oh we might get into the Prem a bit quicker (or we might not, all depends on how the 'extra' money is invested and if we have a good enough manager) but then what's so great about that? Higher ticket prices? More players that don't give a shit? More prawn-sandwich munchers? Possibly a higher standard of football, but then again possibly not... Oh I do hate football...
