    I'm not worried about it, I just think WW should realise that these places are in the country's capital and unfortunately that comes with lots of benefits that no other city gets

    I think we need a stadium that will be a tourist attraction on its own. They should share, pool resources. That stadium, shared or not should have good rail access.

    There are mothballed lines that can be run in, and also serve the local community.

    What I'm babbling on about is the glowing example u've given cost a lot of money, which I don't think has been gained back yet (I could be wrong)

    A shared stadium with shared infrastructure would make very good sense IF

    1: the infrastructure costs were at their absolute minimum
    2: anyone, absolutely anyone could fund a completely new stadium

    Since when has only the capital had the benefit of common sense, and no one else?

    I reckon they'd love to share, it's just the majority of fans are so against the idea
