Plus there was no plan, NONE, for the use of the stadium post-olympics - the regeneration waffle was just a load of lies from the IOC (Coe and co should be under investigation for that), even now the script is that the promised jobs post-games are still 'in the future'. Fuck OFF!
The stadium lay empty for some years, then the wrangle over which club would get it, then the london tax payer picked up the tab for some new seating (which is still shite) and also picks up the cost of match day stewarding! Eh? how does that work? And WHU pay a token £2m pa rent. Fine, I think we still only pay peppercorn, but at least did something productive around the place, not so around London stadium, but you might find a few micro breweries to charge you £9 a pint pre-match.

From what I can remember we paid a rent depending on any number of fans over 34,000. Our average attendance at Maine Road, up to the 47,000 Etihad capacity at the time. Seeing City funded the South Stand build I wouldn't have thought it's changed. Initially I heard City were giving the council between 1 and 2 million pounds annually.

It was renegotiated years ago as a flat fee rather than a percentage over 34k.

I suppose this is as good a place for this little set to.

Love the response - Keys is a wanker and I'm glad Agbonlahor bit back. Kettle, pot, black ......

There is a very good article in the Telegraph. It asks why music critics are no longer critical of boring, inane music. It mentions Beyonce and her latest release but importantly it mentions she has 15 million on line followers. You upset them at your peril.
More importantly it mentions how the biggest stars can make or break a music company like the NME, who need interviews from them etc.
In an online age, all media, not just music, follow the clicks and football journalist are no exception. They need the rags and dipper fans and they need the advertising revenue it brings.
