It's not the narrative itself that bothers me most, it's the fact that so many of our fans buy into it.Why let the truth get in the way of a good Lynch mob/click baiting/panty bunching!

Don't worry. The game will be moved.Has anyone been on a stadium tour?
My wife has bought it as a surprise, however it's at 14:30 on August 31st, arsenal away is on at 15:00 ?
Is there anywhere local I can watch the 2nd half.
Don't worry. The game will be moved.
It will, 110%, be moved. They can't put a Saturday 3pm game on telly, and a Tottenham-Arsenal game not being televised is unthinkable. Even if it stays on the Saturday it'll probably be either 12.30 - so you can watch it in a Tottenham pub then walk to the ground - or 5.30, long after the tour will be done.Fingers crossed. It was one of those moments, where I was appearing greatful but secretly crying inside.
Don't worry definately be moved there hasn't been a spurs arsenal 3pm Saturday kick off for over 20 years. Worst case is Saturday 12.30 you can then go straight after.Fingers crossed. It was one of those moments, where I was appearing greatful but secretly crying inside.
I see that the Great Cheese Room Myth has survived the completion of the actual cheese-room-free stadium.Yup here’s article we have to pay £3.7m a year. West Ham Bill is £1.6m but the tax payer will pay £1.3m of that what a joke.

It’s how we separate the copy/paste journalists from those who put in at least some effortI see that the Great Cheese Room Myth has survived the completion of the actual cheese-room-free stadium.
I'm a bit surprised that Chelsea is so far down the list. I suppose it's the age and smaller size of their stadium, but I would have expected London land values to overcome those factors. Lower land values explain why the major stadiums of the north are behind the Emirates and THS in the table.
Interesting, but I don't think that would be taken into account in a rateable valuation - although it would be considered if one were obtaining a valuation for the sale of a development site.Isn't there some complicated situation whereby the stadium is owned by the club but the pitch and land are owned by the fans or something? I'm not sure of the exact details but it's something along those lines and I assume that would lower the value because someone can't just come in and build a block of flats over it or something, at least not without the fans being on board, which they wouldn't be.

You're right - for some reason I thought it was the Chelsea Pensioners who owned the pitch but I was wrong - it's a non-profit company 'Chelsea Pitch Owners Plc' who own the pitch and the club name by the looks of it. Chelsea Pitch Owners
If you can't be arsed to read the link, they basically formed in 1997 to get Chelsea out of the shit when the were struggling financially. Probably not for this thread though so I'll leave it there.
My memory is that the Chelsea Pitch Owners parcelled up the pitch into multiple ownership with the express intention of making it impossible to sell off the stadium for development. I don't think it raised any money - it was just a way to make it impossible to transfer the ownership of the land away from the club and its supporters.You're right - for some reason I thought it was the Chelsea Pensioners who owned the pitch but I was wrong - it's a non-profit company 'Chelsea Pitch Owners Plc' who own the pitch and the club name by the looks of it.

I'm sure it's nothing to do with the Chelsea Pensioners, who are unconnected with the football club. They're war veterans who live in sheltered accommodation nearby.Interesting. Yeah I don't know all the specifics like I say, I just remember reading something about it in the thread about their proposed new stadium. ages ago. Who exactly this Chelsea Pitch Owners lot are I've no idea. Maybe it is the pensioners!
