a case against emirates stadium

   

Written by:

Even though I totally understand what it would mean for the girls to play every match at The Emirates Stadium, I just wanted to argue against in a way. I think its a great idea and a great thing to strive forward too, for sure. It would mean so much to the players and the club.

However, it is my belief that if we really want to give the girls what they deceiver we should give them their own stadium. Doesn’t have to be Emirate’s size but big and great enough to be a stand alone, quasi independent entity.

I would call it The New Highbury or The Vic Akers Stadium.

Name a stand after Maria.

Have the girls play CL matches at The Emirates like the men did at Wembley.

This would be so incredible, wouldn’t it?

It would be their own thing, their own identity, their own entity. It would be THEIRS.

ONLY theirs.

Like, I know what the emirates would mean and all that but I just think it would be way cooler if the girls had their own thing. The thought of them having to do the same thing as the men to get to a truly high level in people’s eyes or whatever is something that doesn’t sit well with me overall.

I know that that isn’t the actual idea behind them playing there and sharing it full time with the men, I totally understand that. I also understand there’s infinite money involved and it’s not that easy. I get it. I’m just saying it’s what I feel they deserve and the idea should be explored by the powers that be.
