    So you still think this, as stated - again - at tonight's meeting


    Whilst West Ham do not have a 'veto' we do have to give our permission for another Prem league club to use the OS. We won't give it.
    is a lie?
    If we don't have a veto, but refuse to give permission, that's er a veto isn't it ??
    I hate tautology me ;wink

    Oh I love pasta.

    It makes a lot more sense for Chelsea and Spurs to ground share Wembley anyway.

    Limit to how many 50,000 + games they can have?

    Not sure, just asking.
    Yes there is.

    That doesn't matter though really does it. They just say yes you can use Wembley, btw you have a max of 49,999 tickets for the duration of using it.

    billy ;ok That was rather my point, in response to Izzy insisting that we don't have a 'veto'.


    'A rose by any other name' and all that. (As Slav would say.)

    Stamford Bridge Capacity 41,798
    White Hart Lane Capacity 36,284

    There is an argument for allowing both clubs to use Wembley from the 2017/18 season if you take into account current capacity, if the Premier League limit ticket sales at Wembley to current stadium numbers.


    Job done.

    They should put me in charge.

    I read somewhere that Wembley can only have so many 90,000 eventsa year so if they ground share capacity would be capped at 50,000

    Article about 50,000 capacity if they ground share. If they are paying £15 million a year that is going to hit them in the pocket even if they sell out every week

    How awful ;biggrin

    Assuming they sell it out (50k) then Spurs will pretty much cover their costs. A rough sum is 14000 (additional seats) x 19 (games) x £45 (ave?) = £11.9m. Additional corporate and concessions will probably cover the rest of it.

    Chelsea will find it harder as they will only expand by 8000 additional seats but their tickets are more expensive I think.

    and their football is really bad ;biggrin
