HorseLord posted:The simple reason is that the very idea is insane. This pretty much sums it up. You should probably start with researching the furore when Milton Keynes stole Wimbledon, and then look at UEFA's rules that forbid state aid to football clubs, iirc Swansea either nearly or actually got in trouble regarding that for something to do with the Liberty Stadium, also maybe West Ham's move to the Olympic Stadium got looked at for being dodgy as gently caress (because it is). If you can deal with some people telling you to gently caress off for no apparent reason you might get some better information from the good lads who mean well in The Ray Parlour.

Total Meatlove posted:In terms of the culture, and from having this conversation in TRP, the best way for an American to translate into something relevant would be to relate it back to American College Football. The Buckeyes would never be in a position to tell their fans or local government that they were moving to say, Los Angeles, and in the same way, moving AFC Bournemouth to Newquay is equally as ludicrous. I think a good analogy would be football clubs as a kind of abstract version of a monument or a listed building. Like if some businessmen decided that the US tourism economy would be more profitable if the statue of liberty was moved to Texas, it would get a similar reaction to suggesting Liverpool should move to London.
