With the premier league the game isn't about just the local fans any more, Leeds always point out their worldwide support.
So do we want premier league football or not?

They know the big plan but they get their dough back.

The wealthy indigenous Welsh business population don't give two fecks about the club and it's tradition, other wise they would put their money where their mouths are! All the local business community seem to want to do is make a return on a limited investment, all small minded.
Please don't tell me it's down to the malaysians that the image of the club and it's supporters have become sterile, that's been happening for years, mainly down to the Rugby loving PMG involvement. I would hope that if anything, the Malaysians bring some of that Far Eastern passsion and enthusiasm into the club and it rubs off on the match day experience. I'm not sure how the Malaysian supporters are at their own games, but if they are half as passionate as others in that area such as Japan, then it would improve our support by 100%

Theres the problem though when you have dispelled and dispersed the hard core followers for the newbies, the newbies stop going and the hard core are dispondent because the way they have been treated.billy ronson wrote:just out of curiosity Daya...? no meaning to offend - what are your views on the Hammers moving to new Olympic Stadium? Mixed , unsure of the outcome and my heart doesn't want to move there.
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised that once that is done to see Gold and Sullivan look to sell the club to rich local or overseas investors ? What do most hammers fans think about this - how are Gold and Sullivan looked upon ? Are WHU heading the same way as Cardiff once they move as they will need to attract more fans to the ground and obviously that will mean swaying local and neutral fans that WHU are the team to follow so will be keen to leave their reputation behind? Your probably right they are probably heading the same way , doesnt mean i have to like it, the only prayer is that it doesn't, bad enough happening at Cardiff , let alone West Ham!
Sometimes I miss Ninian Park but without the new stadium I think we may have financially been the Pompey of the championship and would have been relegated to league 1I know some will say that we wouldn't have had the debts associated with the new build but we already owed 24 million and also our capacity was going to be reduced due to the standing rules and no one would have been interested in buying us. Sam knew that hence why he was committed to moving. With the money now in the game a move is often the only alternative but its the way the tradition is carried over to me is the important factor , at CCS that has not happened especially with egg chasers involved and a board of Malaysians not knowing the history and tradition of the Cardiff Fan and more interested in the Malaysian way and their own people.
I understand some of the things you are pointing out BUT Blackpool have shown we the fans and our club don't have to "sell our souls" when you get in the premier! Blackpool have kept their tradition and have a board of locals interested in football until now anyway , especially when promoted. Cardiff are going the Cosway/Malaysian route , a good example all the goings on in Malaysia with Academies etc, you dont see Blackpool doing that.
It is down to us the fans to make the atmosphere and I think if we can't even enjoy and make any atmospshere in our current position then I dread to think what it will be like if we have an average season or are struggling!
