I thought that hypothetically if we ever got a new stadium sponsor we could get £20m a year? Or am I wrong?

I thought the yearly amount was lower because it would be for 10-15 years

Goes to show how nonsensical Cities self sponsorship deal is though.

I was born in Fulham and they were the first ground i went to as a kid, at that time that side of the ground was open and there were several occasions during games when the ball was kicked over that side and ended up in the Thames. Thr club had to employ a guy in a punt who would sit on the river and collect that balls that ended up in the water. I kid you not.

However, with sailing clubs having a right to the wind that blows through the stadium onto the Thames, Populous couldn’t fill in the corners as is customary with modern stadia
