I don't think that the stadium should be a place for car salesman or Jehovah's Witness conferences, as per Bates and his 'diversified income stream' shit.
My Bates comment is completely accurate - you supported most of the projects he ran whilst sucking money out of the football club. You can't just change sides now he's gone. It's just the way that things work, I'm afraid. I'm sure that there are other sources of funding available to build conference centres and loss making radio stations and restaurants.That funding still needs to be paid back out if the one main source of income for the club - match going fans and player sales. See the last ten years. Perhaps you should support Vodaphone, Virgin or Sainsbury's?
