By and large, it doesn't work for the Italians. The big clubs in Turin, Milan and Rome have had long running problems with this... mainly because of ownership of the grounds etc (belonging to the city authorities and not the clubs).

Quote[/b] (CANV @ Aug. 25 2004,20:28)]as you havnt actually made it to the heady heights of the conference yet despite trying your hardest.. it does seem that every club down at that level  gets a nice new shiny ground then goes bust in the next two years...
finance aside do you all really want what would effectivly be an 'out of town plastic ground' as opposed to good old roots bang in the middle of southend..   FF would be a drive for most people surely..

Indeed but id be hoping there would be a 'football bus' special which alot of clubs have, usually something like a £1 return and its subsidiced by the club.

There would have to be something like that or the club risk losing the fans that don't drive.

Luke, i get the impression that you either dont like spending money or you have aspirations of being an accountant, as every other post is about money?

this isnt a dig just an observation  

Not at all, infact by then id prob be driving, but that figure is what Darlo do.

And look how many fans "swarm" into their particular ground ...
