I’ve mixed feelings about rag Wembley but 50,000 Blues celebrating an FA Cup win there would be very, very funny.

A Wembley for the north is a progressive idea but I still think England and cup finals will be in London.

It’s not really a progressive idea.

It’s what Maine Road was nicknamed, when it opened in 1923.

The rags, copying other teams' thoughts again.

I wasn’t alive in 1923.

I wasn’t alive in 1923.

Not many of us were, but that doesn’t mean that the nickname didn’t exist,

Maine Road was the original 'Wembley of the North' with the largest capacity,85000,of any club ground in Britain.

The attendance of 84569 remains the highest ever at a club ground.

Manchester City....making records since God was a lad !!

It’s desperate stuff from the raggies fanfaring they might be going to a 100k capacity stadium, Radcliffe knows it wires straight into their insecure obsession with them being the biggest and bestest in the world. Who’s going to pay for all this though? A club that is binning off its staff and is over a billion in debt and is giving contract extensions to Johnny Evans, the maths don’t stack up. A project this size will probably end up costing over half or two thirds of the clubs value.

And if they did build a 100k seater stadium, won’t it look a bit odd on Thursday nights with vast parts of it not open as the bestest fans in the world didn’t fancy turning up?

You nailed what I was about to say

It’s all about vanity with them lot
They are wank and have a shit mentality. That’s the first thing to sort and to be fair they are putting good people in place but there’s no guarantee it will work

The whole 100k stadium is about being the biggest.
It’s not about being the biggest it’s about being the best

The whole thing is a Jim Ratcliffe vanity project

Nah, we don't have a history, remember?

I used to drink with a chap in Stoke, who told me that his dad was in the crowd that day.

A Wembley of the north should only be for internationals and cup finals and semi finals.
Add on clubs who are getting their ground redeveloped like spurs did.

Fuck me the ministry of lies at it again.

Without a shadow of doubt there is something fishy going on here, they are absolutely shite yet they are being buttered up like they are the top dogs.

And the fact this annoying scouse gobshite is banging the red mardarses drum arouses suspension even more.

You keep an eye on their first 4 or 5 games, dodgy decisions aplenty.
