That's going to have to be one big old plane then, if it's going to fit in most of FIFA, all the Premier League officials and club owners/execs, Sky, UEFA, the Russian Mafia, the royal families of Qatar, UAE etc etc
Maybe they could be holding a meeting somewhere and a plane crashes into it?

I am adding a disclaimer to say that this would be a horrible thing to happen. Awful.

They are also signed up to a 99 year lease at £2.5m per year, so a total liability of £262.5m and Athletics will still be possible in the stadium vs. the original plan to scale down to a 25k stadium which would host nothing.

 Boss Gareth Southgate says a Sweden player calling England "overrated" will motivate his side in Sunday's European Under-21 Championship Group B game.

Sweden left-back Ludwig Augustinsson said England's players are "a bit more expensive than what they are worth".

Southgate, whose side could be eliminated with a defeat, said: "I believe those quotes have been posted next to the meal room.

"It is interesting when the opposition make comments about your squad."

but the dude is correct, English players are over-priced & over-rated

Is it not a question that they've been gifted a large stadium by the taxpayer that would be seriously under capacity at existing prices?

Both valid points
But imagine the majority of prem clubs would have kept the high prices despite the above truths

Don't know, Arsenal allegedly have around 50k ST holders
Dearest is over a grand so even allowing for concessions got to be in excess of £25 million a year.


Add in TV money and sponsorship  Eek

I was just thinking that as ticket sales fall as a % of overall income - cos of TV money - it would be nice if clubs reduced their ST prices by the same amount.

Think a club like Arsenal with 60k high price seats every week gets nor far off tv money from "match day" sales, prob. Inc programmes, catering etc (£100 m. v £140m. ?) - sponsorship and other commercial might be about £60m.

More normal premiership clubs probably get about 5 x their match day takings in tv money.
