No new stadium

Unfortunately Poojah and others are absolutely right, we cannot afford a new stadium. At all. Not unless a fan wins the Euromillions.

So, redeveloping BP it is. However, we don’t have money for that either. Some have mentioned “extending the main stand”, but extending a structure that is only good for demolition is not an option.

It’s been said before but, the corners either side of the ponny need filling in, and ideally a new roof put over the pontoon and corners to encompass all 3, hopefully with rail seats.

Then the main stand needs knocking down and replacing to join up with the corner. Then the Osmond needs demolishing and rebuilding to join with the main. 3 years, lots of money, but we’d probably have 7,000 seats throughout, which would suffice temporarily.

Still a pipe dream.

Or buy all the houses in Harrington Street behind the Main, build a second tier behind it and once that’s built clear the Main for the lower tier… not sure how long we’d have to wait or how much we’d need to buy those houses though. Could even move the pitch closer to the railway to create some space where the Findus is for some reason as yet undetermined! 😂

This isn’t Anfield, mate!!

.....11 tickets left for Friday now

Quoted from mariner91

Having a billionaire backer helps though.

And with the amount EPL and Championship clubs gain from TV and Commercial revenue dwarfs the attendances of clubs that much it makes it basically irrelevant (hence clubs killing themselves and gambling to get there )

I have seen today Crewe have substantially increased their season ticket prices ,which has left their fans quite annoyed .

But , they need to recognise clubs at our level rely on that income much more than the big teams just to survive ,thrive and just compete .

I expect ours will rise a bit will be interesting when we announce the prices , would expect around £50 increase on adult tickets ;thats just speculating though .

You would think in our situation a rise that is proportionally higher for season tickets than on the day prices would make sense. To discourage the purchasing of ST by those who don't actually use them.

As daft ideas go, that's right up there.

How many years did it take Liverpool to buy up those houses so they could extend Anfield? I remember that they've been talking about a 60 thousand seater for decades and yet it still isn't there. And that is with the club and its billionaire owners able to spend untold millions.

The idea that we can 'Just buy the houses in Harrington Street and redevelop' is detached from reality given the current economic climate and the fact that people actually live there.

Don't go looking to the council to assist much with funding for any new development, whether a new ground or a rebuild.

The grants to local government have been slashed in recent decades and they can't possibly fund the necessary services for the community, let alone spend to assist a private business. That's regardless of how important it is to the town.

They can find money to buy an old leaky shopping centre that nobody else wants!

I'm no apologist for the council, but they had no choice really.

They couldn't just let the centre of town die on it's ar$e.
