Need to do similar with the upstairs loos at Pontoon end of Findus, rediculous having just a single entrance with two internal doors fitted which open inwards, health and safety death trap, how they pass the fire inspection is beyond me...


Eh?  Upstairs loos?  When were they installed?

Quoted from diehardmariner
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


Refusal seems bizarre to me.  BP is surrounded by houses.  Was that meant to be a complete demolition of the ground, or a Highbury-style redevelopment?

I bought loads of matchday programmes in the early nineties, but don't recall any images of a proposed Findus extension.

Thought it was built with that in mind . There is a gap for the tunnel in the middle isn’t there


We had this discussion a few months ago when a photo of the then new stand showed an entrance for teams to come out of. The original intention was to put the changing rooms under the new stand. I don't know why it didn't happen but it looked like a good idea in those days.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

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.


So we have had planning applications refused for several projects and yet some posters are insistent that we can expand BP without getting planning refused.

The Findus had tunnel walls when it was first built:

I have no idea if there is space for changing rooms now.  If not, the club could surely use one of the open corners.  The tunnel doesn't have to be on the halfway line.

The wall tunnel was taken out when the seats went in

There have been two refused applications in that list. One from 1988 for use of a vacant stand as a gym, and an outline app for the use of the site as residential. You’ve no idea why either was refused (unless you’ve been down the archives this afternoon) and the second one isn’t relevant anyway as it involves the stadium being demolished

Would took a very brave or very desperate man to sit on the toilet seat in that cubicle.


Someone did at the last home game at or before half time in the Ponny end ones in the Upper. Give that man a medal. And a blood test.

Upstairs loos at the Pontoon end of the upper Findus have been there since the stand was built.

You used to be able to access it from the bar but now only from the seating area.
