Whatever we spent on updating BP would have to be paid for-who is the secret benefactor-there isn't one. One of the benefits of moving is that it would be paid for by someone or something else without the club getting into further debt. It would be more comfortable for the fans and the players. Hopefully a lot of the missing fans would return when they had somewhere to park. We could perhaps generate enough profit to repay the benign loans which saved us from extinction but are obviously a mill stone around our necks .

Are we going to play at King George whilst it's being done?

It feels like a 2nd home doesn`t it Pete?


Well given the distance we always get a great following when we play there .

I might be wrong but I'm sure Notts County are as locked in as us with no room for expansion.
I seem to remember they turned their excrement tip of a ground into something like and doing a very large part of the work during the close season leaving the home fans actually quite gob smacked .
It shows what can be done with a bit of thought.


Notts County are pretty much hemmed in but much of the land around there is/was brownfield land as opposed to B.P. which is surrounded on three sides by houses. Had the club been serious about redeveloping B.P. they might have started to buy up houses on Harrington St as they became available forty or so years ago.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

There  is no way you would get planning permission. The objections from residents in the surrounding streets would be immense and of course there is no way any car parking could be included in sufficient numbers to satisfy such a re-development.

Mainly with the fact half the stadium is a listed building, there will be no re-development...
