football web forum on a new pitch
This is a really tricky translation which I am doing of a web forum about the laying of a new pitch at FC Metalist (Ukraine) in preparation for the Euro 2012 tournament.
The link to the forum is here: http://euro2012.ua-football.com/news/4df7498e

Стадион надо было правильно реконструировать...
Поляна не продувается...
Будут вам Лужники...

***А зачем у вас быть...***
Достаточно было поговорить со старым евреем профессором , специалистом по турбодинамике из ХАИ...:)))
What is the meaning of this "А зачем у вас быть..." - does it mean something like "What, and you have been there?" (accusing the poster of the 2nd post above of being hypocritical.

We didn't need to! It was enough to consult...

Why should we? [go there]
As others correctly translated it, it's an answer to the question:
- Have you been there? [To criticise it]

- Why should we? [It's clear enough as it is]
