Hope the latest ITK isn't true. Milton fucking Keynes! Complete joke.

We're a London club. You telling me there isn't a single London club we could share with for 2 years? I'd rather play at the Emirates.

Sincerely hope the info about ST holders getting a sabbatical and not going to the back of the queue afterwards is true, otherwise it's an utter disgrace.

Yes. And I'm sure the player won't get jetlaged twice a week of all the travelling. Should be great for the team and our results!

That's why we have a 25 man squad. 11 key payers either side of the Atlantic on a semi permanent and just subs or under 21's travelling to and fro to fill the bench. It would be just our opposition that would be fucked! Sorted. ;):D

Not sure tbh. Craven Cottage or Selhurst Park possibly? They'd be the only viable options surely.

... Give populous a go and we soon will be playing at the emirates, ...I don't get it KSS had a great design! .. We should be modelling ourselves on Borussia Dortmund, even including scope for any potential standing space coming back into play (albeit years away) .. And 61k at least.. I'm currently 24k in the waiting list!

That kop is amazing.. I think we could easily share with another London club ..there's enough of us!

Be interested to know how many of our season ticket holders travel from north of London. Personally I travel around 250 miles from north of the wall, so Milton Keynes would actually take an hour off my 4.5 hour journey.

Would like to think that the club would consider the address data that they have before making any decision.

not kept upto date on the our options whilst the lane is re-built - but is Wembley totally off the radar?
Surely a better bet than MK, and given the cpacity - the extra rental should be covered by the higher gates?

Major problems with the amount of 'events' held there each year with the local council. Might be able to play 'some' matches there.

Obviously we have to go somewhere with as high a capacity as possible as well as the capability to comply with whatever regulations there might be concerning the staging of PL and European fixtures. Plus it'd have to satisfy the cozzers/health and safety. Well, that's a guess, but it wouldn't surprise me if it were a consideration.

Having had a look at the options (For me Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham aren't options for various reasons) there's MK (30k capacity), Charlton (27k), Palace (26k) and Fulham (25k)*.

And my personal favourite is……..

Twickenham! (82k) But I have no idea as to wether or not the playing surface would be suitable. Anyway, that'll never happen :(

There was a Standard report back in July (posted in the Stadium thread) that Wembley, the Amex and Portman Road were also possibilities. It also mentioned the Olympic Stadium, but I really can't see that happening.

Twickenham would be very decent for us. Cheap tickets, sell it out every home game. Play fixture clashes at Wembley. Nothing less than we deserve.

Optimistic ratings at the ready...

I like the Twickenham idea, will make Townsend very dangerous too.

Stadium:MK isn't that bad a ground, however I'd imagine most would drive and the parking etc. before and after would be absolute chaos.

The Olympic Stadium probably could have been an option if it wasn't for all of that spying court case nonsense over it

Getting out of Twickenham station is always a pig but yeah, I'd go for that one.
