York to go part time?

So they owe money to the Football Stadia Improvement Fund who will happily make them homeless but are willing to loan them MORE money if they move.

Says on their website:
http://www.footballfoundation.org.uk/about-us/

"Our mission is to improve facilities, create opportunities and build communities throughout England."

They'll really be helping the community if they reposess the ground !  
Seems to me the idea is all about moving everyone to massive stadiums.
I guess that could be what'll happen to us too - i.e. into admin, ground sold, Fenty comes back and gets a grant.

If the Prem League, FA and govt can provide money to fund new stadia then why can't they provide the same money to save them ?
Cos it's all about lending, money-making and dismantling smaller "communities".

If all of these bodies are so willing to lend money for community projects that would encompass a new stadium, why have we no published proposal that could go towards moving from Blundell Park?

The Great Coates site planning permission has lapsed, I believe, so where would we develop in order to promote community projects that will sustain work opportunities for seven days per week?

The Docks area?

Freeman St regeneration, by dropping houses and shops from Kent St up to the market area , incorporating the stadium into the central area that has been badly neglected and run down for 20 years.

Would redevelopment bring the likes of M&S, next and all of the bigger shop chains back into the centre of town again?

You could then include events like antique fairs, Sunday markets, a big Xmas Market like Lincoln's - massive business, music concerts - all types not just rock stars and bands, a conference area to attract national trade -especially in the seafood areas, a central town hotel to hold a minimum of 600 people at a time, incorporate all of the shops currently trading in a small combined unit on two floors - (at a reasonable starting rate instead of compensation for moving), multiplex cinema and bowling alley.

You will certainly attract retailers like the Disney shops, all of the main shopping centre usual traders, everything you would find at Meadowhall. The food suppliers and restaurant chains like Frankie and Benny's, McDonald's, KFC etc would want to be involved. huge investment needed of course, but look how the Freshney centre started out.

This could be so much bigger and better, with the ability to draw outside customers from out of town on a regular basis, all within a complex that includes our newly sited football club. Shopping for all types of people at all price scales with massive choice of goods and facilities for leisure - all on one "estate" site.

All of these would be able to share a joint parking area, like Meadowhall, and you could also build in a transfer station for train passengers to attract football specials and services for out of town shoppers to come here not go to Meadowhall as now.

Think of the construction jobs and ancillary supply chains, + massive amounts of future local jobs for local people that would be created to stimulate the local economy that could also be in use for the new green power generation industry, so already round here for several years. Can also be designed to run from green forms of power, so perhaps government grants for that available to offset some costs?

Ah, well, that's my spend the money pie in the sky thoughts - won't ever happen, we haven't got a local council like Hull, or a communications firm like Kingston Communications to bankroll the scheme. All we seem to have locally is rich architects with proposed plans on the front page of the paper that never get off the ground. At least they are prospering !!

Just let us know when you'd like to join us back here in the real world.
