Strangely Holland has better figures than France!

Dutch Eredivisie - Unofficial Average Attendance: 19,707

Never happen. It would be far too expensive a project for any team in the world to afford.

Not if you can offset the development costs with the sale of some prime real estate (current stadium) and the other development of the site. I think it's a great way to keep an iconic landmark and bring the land into use again.

Looks like an enigneering nightmare to be honest.

Indeed, but would the Bridge go for? Maybe £200 million. Battersea power plant alone would probably cost about £500 million, and that's without even building a stadium there. I don't think there is anyway of doing it for less than £650 million.

they are not chimneys they are the corner flags

subsidised tickets?

Surely the South stand is the one furthest south and so would be the furthest stand from the river?

he's clearly wrong, but football in Germany is a lot cheaper than in England, much to their credit
