Ploggers is a long trek from the train stations.

What happened to the idea of using land around the docks?

Let it go guys... The new ground balderdash is JF's 'ace' card that he pulls out on special occassions, approx once a year... Usually the special occassion is we are playing extra shite and he is trying to re-ignite some interest...

The only good news is - apparently the tide is due in, can anyone confirm this???

This really has been going on far too long to even warrant discussion eh lads and lasses? There was an idea , lost in the mists of time, of buying up the houses on Harrington St, spinning the ground round and developing it. If only that had happened we might now have a half decent ground. (sorry but I hate the word Stadium). sodomist! I've just discussed it.

Rotherham's new 'New York Stadium' is looking pretty tidy, especially considering it's only a 12,000 seater. It's amazing what can be done when you're forced into finding a new home (though it took Brighton a little longer, mind!).

Rotherham's stadium looks brilliant - doesn't it make you sick that a club certainly no bigger than us and arguably smaller, can do this when they were almost bankrupt 3 years ago, while we have talked about doing this for 20 years and not one brick on a new stadium has been laid?
Even tiny clubs like Dagenham and the like  with gates of 1500 have made ground improvements, while BP continues to crumble - just how long will it be before the wooden  main stand is condemned as unsafe? - surely only a matter of time.
I'm not  sure who to blame, previous board members, current board members, Fentys spin, or the local council -  if the truth be known it's probably a mixture of the three, whatever the reason its just plain  depressing and i have  absolutely no confidence that any new stadium will be developed for the  next foreseeable  few years..

to be fair, thats what we should be modelling ourselves on. will we ever achieve 6000+ regular gates at the status we are now? no...........it would be fair to say that if we "should" achieve league status again then this IS a realistic possibility. the ground will never (ever) be built near king george because of the traffic infrastructure and the housing surrounding it.

Sums up perfectly how our club seems to have ground (no pun intended) to a halt. As I said previously, they had the chance of developing BP years ago but this Great Coates / Conoco white Elephant just keeps rearing it's ugly head. All the clubs mentioned in previous posts are smaller, or at least were, and in a lot of cases a new or vastly redveloped ground seems to have  been a deciding factor in their success.
