So, Dr Tony Xia has suggested he is considering setting up a football theme park in Aston.
What attractions/rides would you like to see in such a place?
A theme park right off the best known junction of the country's main arterial motorway bang in the middle of the country at the football club where the league's was formed and just down the road from a successful entertainment complex. I reckon it would work and could hopefully finally help to spark some regeneration in the area. As long as it isn't really really naff...
I like what Tony says in that article. I hope it isn't all just spin.
Yeah, of course, just saying that there might be reasons why Recon might consider it. It wouldn't necessarily be worth it from the club's perspective agreed.
Well, to look at it another way, Recon seem to be heavily involved in architecture and urban design, and what better way to advertise your design chops than with a fancy new stadium?
Also, if we are expecting lower spectator numbers redevelopment would be less disruptive now.
Ah, from the 2016 Takeover Thread :-) Hence why I said 'supposedly' and am wondering whether this is as good as it sounds. But I choose to be optimistic!
He has businesses worth billions, yet a personal wealth of supposedly 100 million. Clearly someone who isn't greedy, keeps his business and personal finances separate and basically seems an extremely smart and sensible guy.
Too good to be true?
Thought he did very well. I understand why some may think he had a poor game - he made one or two glaring errors that probably overshadowed his general play. Take those errors away and he was pretty good - for a youngster breaking through I couldn't really ask for much more.
I don't understand why City are so lethargic and almost refuse to attack. This was a semifinal of the champions league - if I were a City fan I'd be furious. They could have at least tried to win.
I sort of like the idea, but I think the McGregor statue should be involved somehow. Maybe throw the old 'Bright Future' scarfs at the base of the statue or something. That guy's principles shiuld be at the heart of the club (and of the football league itself) and it would make a nice story for the press to feed off.
