@karine606 it's an interesting theory. A disgruntled owner, arson attacks on other sports stadiums...blame the suffragettes and get a chance to move area, possibly with some insurance money too. I wonder if the fire was properly investigated or they just immediately blamed the women.
I have to admit, I knew nothing of arson attacks by the suffragettes. Protests and martyrdom, yeah, but not torching sporting arenas. I have to wonder if they were seen at the time as something akin to the just stop oil whiners of today. It could (and probably did) set their cause back somewhat.
Yes, whilst they were eventually successful in getting the vote, I think that had more to do with WW1 than any terrorist attacks. Public opinion was probably against them once they started their bomb campaign
Did they claim the attack? It sounds too good to be true for the owner. My money is on a false flag.
