If we went up to League 1 here is how we would stand, I think it's fair to say that we'd be more likely in the bottom half but you'd certainly expect us to rise.a few places with the extra interest and away fans.

Think if when we get to league one we would expect to be above the posh most team in this league will bring upward of 750 and many actually filling the away end

Once we get into league one that's when it's stars to show how much Blundell park holds us back , if we're not getting a new ground anytime soon is seriously look at knocking the main stand down and trying to increase the capacity

Our highest average gate since 1990/91 ( 7237 ) was in 1991/92 which was 6921. Since then the highest was 1998/99 which was 6681. These were all times when we were at Championship level. I would be very surprised if we managed anything higher than 6250 at League 1 level.

Away support to BP is always in the bottom 3 of any league we have been in.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

That can't be right for Scunny, a team chasing promotion to the Championship.

Does anyone know what capacity we could increase BP to if we had to. Im a bit sceptical about the new ground. Is 15,000 impossible or would that be blocked by the neighbours?

I would be interested to see the working out that says BP cannot be developed.

Parking has never been a big problem as far as I am aware. Even when we sell out you can usually park less than a 10 minute walk away. Also I thought the current mood was one of discouraging car use and encouraging public transport, biking and walking etc.

Would it would cost less to knock down and replace the bits of BP that need replacing (Main Stand and Osmond the obvious ones!)  than build a brand new ground?

It is almost always cheaper and easier to build on new, well surveyed site than to knock down and start again. Upgrading BP is just not worth it and is in the wrong spot. To attract more fans needs good parking, eateries and other attractions to get floating fans to the ground.New grounds always attract new fans.
