Apart from which you have the loss of at least one stand for the duration of demolition and construction.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from psgmariner
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?


Parking might not be a big problem for committed supporters like you at BP but it might put off more casual occasional supporters from attending. A new purpose-built ground generally sees attendances rise, partly because it offers things like improved transport to those who might not otherwise attend.

Parking is a huge problem because there are no public car parks close to the ground. Everybody seems to think it's ok to park on the street but all this does is create more congestion. You are also parking on other peoples fronts and whilst not illegal can be very annoying for the residents. I know some will say they must have known the situation when they moved there but car ownership has greatly increased over the last twenty years and surely we shouldn't deny a house owner the ability to park his car on his own front. These are the same residents whose support the club would need because to develop BP would require planning permission and obviously they can object on the grounds of the parking impact.
