New Stadium

[Colonel_K]

We need to get used to performing on a bigger pitch, not to mention most of our away games are/were played on bigger pitches than WHL, think this is a bit of a non-story.

Sounds like a load of bollocks to me.

We won't be able to emulate the dimensions of WHL at the new ground either so I'd see no point in doing it at Wembley.

Doubt we made a request to make it smaller as Wembley is closer in dimensions to our new pitch

Exactly.

The Wembley pitch is almost identical dimensions to the King Power and the KCOM

You have to wait until the very end of the video for the reference of New White Hart Lane, but following on from a few announcements at the time of launching the Premium Seating stuff we mentioned that we were looking to capture the e-sports market. I guess that is also why we have been pushing the "most technologically advanced stadium" tag around for a while now, and how/why that's being pushed.

Where we struggled to win 6-1 and 7-1 I believe

Precisely - pitch size is only a factor when we play someone good at Wembley........it's almost as if the quality of the opposition is the main determining variable on how easy it is to win

Again, so you'd have a kerb - unless the sliding pitch is also wafer thin (which it won't be, it'll probably be a foot or so)

Not really.

Look at the picture - the NFL field is more narrow than a football field and has some sort of white cover/coaches dugout where the "kerb" would be.

up to 50,000 crowds. no chance! Will all be watching from their bedrooms. Or am I old and out of touch

You're old and out of touch.

The biggest arena attendance was 45,000 in 2014 while there was 27 million people watching it online.

Not sure if that's been beaten since then, but it wouldn't surprise me.

You're old and out of touch, sorry.

I don't completely understand it either, but it is what it is.

 

[Blanchflower]

As far as esports are concerned I couldn't be any more delighted to be old and out of touch

 

[Bill Madrid]

27 million people watching it online.

The largest virtual grouping of all time of people who have never kissed a member of the opposite sex

Spoiler

Or a member of the same sex, no homophobia here kids

26.9 million of whom were sending each other frantic messages on fan forums asking for a working stream that doesn't bombard you with opportunities to meet delightful Russian ladies....

E-sports are fun, you old grumps.

E-sports are fun, you old grumps.

To play yes. I enjoy leisure time with a good game of Halo. To gather in a stadium and watch as others play it should qualify as a social disorder. Football when played with skill and guile is a beautiful athletic competition with elements of symphony. Gaming is a time absorption device with a bit of mental stimulation.
