[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 677546, member: 40658"] I get that. But lets look at it then another way. Take the Lions for example (the Golden Lions from Johannesburg, not the B&I Lions). Their base is Ellis Park in the middle of Joburg, or as I like to call it, Little Lagos. For years all of the fans have been pleading for them to move because of the surrounding neighbourhood and that fans don't want to risk their lives on their way to the game even if it's just a 10 minute drive. The fans want them to move to Soccer City in Soweto, which is about 30km's away from Joburg's main centre. The thing is, it's an inconvenience for the fans, but for the team, management and the company in charge it's not, so while they want to keep their fanbase happy, it's not an economically feasable option.
