Even more delusional that they're trying to compare our situation to theirs.
1. We always planned to move into the stadium, before it was built. Our requirements were included at the planning stage. This means we don't have to fucking knock the thing down. Who's going to pay for that? So they're going to give the taxpayer £550 million and then afford a new stadium on top. It's going to be costing about not far shy of one billion. Somehow I'm dubious they can afford that. Whereas we fully funded our conversion and continue to pay the council £2m (now £3m) on a stadium that cost £110m. Economically viable without question. Will pay for itself in my lifetime.
2. We were born in east Manchester.
3. When we moved to Maine Road we were only moving three miles (akin to West Ham from Upton), not seven (Spurs).
4. When we moved to Maine Road we weren't moving into an area which had historically been a support base for another club.
5. When we moved back to east Manchester we weren't moving into an area which had historically been a support base for another club.
6. There's no naming issue. We moved from Manchester to Manchester and back to Manchester.
7. Thus there is no council issue either, it's all Manchester City Council, not Haringey versus Newham.
If you're looking to us for similarities, sorry Spurs fans, there's nothing to see here.
