do you understand the difference between a football stadium and a non-football stadium?

Ask Italians or anyone who's been to the Olympic if it's the same thing.

Yes.

It's a dumb argument from people that are trolling. There are plenty of stadiums available. I guess since we don't gather everyone in the country to piss in bags and lob them onto the field or start riots outside every game our stadiums don't count?

Please, college stadiums don't count. They're old as gently caress, completely terrible, don't meet field length/width requirements, and don't have seats.

FIFA regulations state that

All spectators should be seated. Seats must be individual, affixed to the structure and
comfortably shaped, with backrests of a minimum height of 30cm to provide support.

Changing the bench situation in stadiums is ridiculously minor issue of these stadiums lets be real. We wouldn't have to build anything new, just modify some small poo poo and its good to go.

The only real thing would be the field, and some kinds of turf are allowed. Swap some turf/grass in NFL stadiums, change out some bleachers to chairs and that should be it. All the TV/lights , hospitality, locker rooms etc is all fine. Parking/transportation are already established.

Don't use stadiums as an excuse to rail on America. At least try to make fun of us for something worthwhile.

The team's colors are blue, white, and black. Probably found them in a shop and figured it was cheaper than getting some custom flag.

Here's a picture of our fancy new stadium, built specifically for soccer. I think it seats about 3000 now, but there are plans to expand to 18,500 as the Riverhounds' owners have ambitions of joining MLS within the next 10 years.

So, for the 35th time in 37 seasons, city failed to win anything. However, that shouldn't put you off buying this dvd, blues!

For just �12.95, you can reminisce at how this expensively assembled squad of mercenaries embarrassed English football in the Champions League for the second season running. Watch again as city somehow failed to amass one single victory, in a group which contained European powerhouses such as...erm...Ajax.

There's also another opportunity to watch Aston Villa's reserves annihilate city's first team in the League Cup in front of over 25,000 empty seats at Eastlands. Never fear, the crowd that night did still exceed the 3,007 (including away fans) who turned up for a competitive game at Maine Road as recently as 1998. I'm sure you'll agree that that alone is a moral trophy in itself, eh!

If that's not enough for you, you can again relieve how the Premier League's most expensive squad were comprehensively beaten by the likes of Sunderland, Southampton and Everton, and were inexplicably out of the title race by February! February! There are also extended highlights of the Manchester derby at Eastlands, where United played city off the park and beat them in the funniest way imaginable.

Then, of course, we have the season's crowning glory. That's right, city's epic run to the FA Cup final. No 'luck of the draw' for the blues here. city had to overcome the giants of Watford, Leeds United and Barnsley (all at home), before facing a relegated Wigan Athletic team in the final. Alas, it proved to be one hurdle too many for the plucky blues, who were outplayed and beaten in the final by a side who cost less than Gareth Barry. Still, the defeat did spare city the embarrassment of hosting another parade and the prospect of no one turning up for the third year running. Every cloud, eh?!

And there's more! Yep, just when you thought you couldn't take any more heartache and misery, on the same night that over 250,000 reds packed the streets of Manchester to celebrate Manchester's proper club lifting yet another trophy, the city hierarchy were sacking yet another manager! Yes, after having spent �300 million in just over three years and ending his final season without a trophy, Roberto the failure was finally sacked.

Oh yes, it's all here, blues. So tear yourself away from your sister for a moment, comb that moustache, throw on your best Matalan polo shirt and get your copy ordered today!

So where are these clubs now?

1. Accrington - no longer exist. Their last game was a 12-0 defeat to Darwen on 14/1/1896.
2. Aston Villa - Premier League
3. Blackburn - Championship
4. Bolton Wanderers - Championship
5. Burnley - Championship
6. Derby County - Championship
7. Everton - Premier League
8. Notts County - League One
9. Preston North End - League One
10. Stoke - Eventually renamed Stoke City, Premier League
11. West Brom Albion - Premier League
12. Wolverhampton - League One

Only 4 of those teams are still in the top flight.

And that 9 of the 12 have been in the top flight in the last five years (I think Derby's amazing relegation season was five years ago.)

Not bad for a league that was formed 120-something years ago.
