I'd hate to lose that part of Highbury...but new stadium 22 thousand more fans and it's bound to get louder.....Sadly....

I'd be interest in knowing if anyone including home fans has ever found the loud part of Highbury...

I fear it will be more of the same deafening silence at CashBurdenGrave stadium

Looks a good design from the outside on the train mind....

The Sperm's ground was only louder because of the extra bass created by the empty trophy cabinet...;) :p

Worse still is the naming of the ground after the chairman of the club - Madejski and Kassam being two examples that immediately spring to mind. Egotistical in the extreme.

We await a renaming imminently I think, now that Kassam has sold the club.

However, he still owns the freehold and the surrounding commercial interests (hotel, cinema, etc.) -- in effect he's just sold the Oxford Unuted franchise to Nick Merry ...

So can't be too sure about anything ....

jogg on smart arse..... whats your suggestion for a name then?

how about ARSETIME.... an anagram of EMIRATES
 
Financing the stadium through a financial instrument based on future ticket sale projections suggest things aren't exactly rosy. Be interested to see how many fans Arsenal think they'll get every week to raise that revenue for the bond, or whether as I suspect, fans will be forced to shell out more per game.

errr... its called ashburton grove so there is no obvious 'hilarious' name, the library / hibury worked quite well but " CashBurdenGrave stadium"... jesus....i think the idea of a comedy slur name is to make the other guy look silly

Chirst, you've really put some time into this Chief'....:D
 
The 'official name' is irrelevant. Surely not a single gooner is ever gonna call it the Emirates? especially not given that the wags have already christened it 'dubaibury'? most of my gooner mates simply call it 'ashburton'.

ermmm....financing major capital/premises investment on the basis of projected revenues is the basis on which just about every successful business operates!
E2A: given that Highbury had a seven year season-ticket waiting list, somehow I don't think they're gonna be short of fans to fill it!
 
Yes, if things arn't rosy, why would any financial institution give money to that?? That's financial suicide, and it's not a small amount of cash either.

You're not making sense

It's not like you to be wrong Chorlton, but I can't ever rememeber it being called that.

I was just pointing out what the Man utd captain thought of the support in old trafford.

Because the bonds will be secured against Arsenal FC considerable assets - the players and the stadium. The land alone is worth a great deal now it's been redeveloped. That's what securitisation is. It assumes they will make X per year for the length of the bond is. If they don't, that money will have to be found to complete the bond for the bond holders.

It's a dangerous route for football clubs to go down in general. I wonde rhow many people are making money from the bonds David Bowie released...my guess is not that many.

the biggest stand at leeds certainly had lurpak hoardings all over it, easily visible from the train, i seem to recall it being referred to as the lurpak stand.

I dunno about the Leeds one, I'm talking about the "McDonalds Kop".
