Thank you.

Whilst having a neb at the history of the applications for Blundell Park a few that caught my eye.

1999 - Refused application to turn BP into residential properties, presumably had we got the ground at Great Coates - http://planninganddevelopment......KeyVal=MSK9KB00DT00P

1992 - Approved (with conditions) plans to extend the Findus, sadly no supporting documents - http://planninganddevelopment......KeyVal=MSK9KB00DT00P


Interesting, full list of applications here:

http://planninganddevelopment......keyVal=MSK9KB00DT00P

Looks like there was an intention to put seats in the old corners and put a roof over them back in 1992; presumably cost did for those plans. Also plans to put a gym into the vacant space within the Findus stand, which were refused.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

I very, very vaguely remember talk of the gym in the Findus.  There was an incredibly basic gym that was in the Main Stand, possibly where the Youth Bar is now in the mid 90's.  Limited equipment and one thing that always stuck in my mind was that it had a Coca-Cola bike just propped on the wall (normal bike, not a Watt or Spin bike) that Mark Lever won as Player of the Match when said company sponsored the League Cup.

Under the findus you obviously have the turnstiles for the upper, but you also have the ticket office and club shop. You then have a few classrooms and suites that are used for GTSET so I don't think it'd ever be viable.

Quoted from Heisenberg


If we’re stuck with Blundell Park (and we are, let’s be honest) then as an Upper regular I can confirm these changes are necessary. I’ve never been in the women’s toilets, but honestly I can guess that there simply aren’t enough bogs in there. The blokes urinals are appallingly small and there’s one sh#tter, which is preposterous. The amount of times I see a dad with his young kid waiting for the trap to become free is just not on. BP is a joke, for things like this. Good news the owners are trying to sort that kind of thing out.

But, my god, this doesn’t even scratch the surface.


I completely agree with you about the men's loos, but looking at this plan it looks like there'll still only be one toilet. The one currently in the men's is being removed, as is one of the ones currently in the women's - only one toilet will remain between the two of those, in the new expanded men's loo, with additional toilets being added in the new disabled and moved women's loos.

Possible that I've misunderstood the plans - but if that is the case it is a big disappointment, as I agree with you about it being ridiculous that there's only toilet in the men's.

Very rarely seen the cupible door closed only ever seen it used as a overflow for the inadequate number of urine pots so I would say 1 cubicle in the men’s is enough maximise the pisspot space
