[Football] Which club would be your billionaire's football project?

[Rodney Thomas]

Absolutely this. I was at uni in Bradford too and spent some time watching the Bantams (even had a City shirt).

Bradford's a big city so there's a hell of a catchment area and it would piss Leeds off so much

Another Bradford Uni ex-student here. It's a great suggestion in this hypothetical situation.

On the basis that I wouldn't want to compete against Brighton and as I'm patriotic, it would have to be to take Berwick up through the leagues and break the stranglehold of Celtic and Rangers. An English club winning the Scottish Premiership. How grand would that be?

OGC Nice

Worthing, massive potential.

For....

Moaning
Mobility Scooter access
O.A.P refreshment specials
Quick turn around on half season ticket waiting list (could even offer specials on full season tickets for those who feel lucky)
Singing section (free biscuits at half time for participants)
Heated seats and tartan blanket Options
Sponsorship deal with tena men.

Worthing, although think George Dowell is doing a great job there. Think Worthing is the biggest town in the UK without a professional club, could be wrong, but massive potential.

That's interesting if true. Would be my choice for local reasons as well, and would produce a big local derby with Brighton over time.

Hastings united.
I’d develop the Pilot Field into a monolith of a stadium. 50,000 seats plus terracing to hold a further 20,000. Just to begin with. Liam Rosenior as my first manager to lead the charge from non league to football league. Then give Mark McGhee his chance in the premier, and see what he could do with millions to spend.

But if it has to be a league club, Millwall or Charlton probably.

Even grander would be to have Berwick Rangers and Berwick Rovers, one playing in England and one in Scotland, ground sharing. Be fun if they met in a European game.

No love for Burnley? Old club, great history, time we won our third title? Who needs a catchment area anyway?

 

[Drumstick]

Wimbledon. Easy, decent club, screwed over by chairman, piss off Palace as biggest in South London.

Exactly the sort of thing I had in mind for this thread.

I like your logic Would have to try and make the small side and end of VP look a bit better though.

Pleased to oblige [emoji106]

The small away stand improvements would be in the 5 year plan!

Been to Burnley and therefore no love.

Lincoln City

My local club since I moved up here as a kid. They have a core of around 8k really passionate supporters which for a small city isn't bad. Their FA Cup run a few years ago really got the city buzzing and showed there is real desire for the club to do well.

Most of the kids I grew up with were United or Liverpool and I've no doubt that they would have a big uptake in local support just like we did.

I think with a Rotherham style newer ground and some more investment in wages and an academy they could be a really solid Championship side.

It's also a brilliant away day so some teams higher up the pyramid should get to try it.

Plus who wouldn't want to hear an air raid siren for corners in the Premier League?

Worthing or Shoreham for me. Always had a interest with local footie especially Shoreham. Love finding out and seeing the day to day running of the club being friends with the chairman. Would invest in the stands and a few licks of paint and then slowly go up the football pyramid!

 

[Swansman]

I wonder if it would be possible to start / take over a club with the help of Kickstarter money... hmm........

 

[nickjhs]

Bury, we were so close to being them. Have them kick Citeh and Manures arses on a regular basis.

 

[Swansman]

Did some research and just e-mailed "Dudley Town FC" asking what they want for it. If they say "well give us £200k and you got it", Im going Kickstarter.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Would have said Hastings but on the up already and Eastbourne would be too close to Brighton. Albion must be the ideal parent club to link up with for good youth loans or freebies after release.

But I think you have to consider London clubs ideally so Charlton would probably beat out Orient slightly for me. Outside punt Dagenham and Redbridge (wouldn't have to live there but good football catchment area). Charlton being next to Greenwich would be a nice place for a billionaire to live.

 

[sams dad]

Bodmin Town FC.
It would be great to give Cornwall its first Football League club.

 

[amexer]

Money no object would like to join the board at Brighton and have an input. I would tell Barber every email he receives doesnt need a 1/2 page reply and find out what Ashley writes on his notes during games Out of league in Sussex Hastings must have best potential to get in league and attract 7/8k gates

 

[zefarelly]

Slight amendment

Could you make that your first objective

Sure, He could be the first foundation of the new Shoreham FC North stand.
