Quoted from shotandcursed

Someone remind me why bp cant be redeveloped


Parking is the main issue, followed by traffic and train station.




So how come massive premiere clubs ( Mancs / Scousers / Geordies / Mackems etc) have huge grounds in areas of limited parking?


Historic venues in areas where the local population (as a majority) support the local team?

You maybe missed my point, the poster was asking why BP could not be re developed and got the answer about parking etc. My point being huge clubs have limited parking around the grounds, why should it be a problem with BP?

Quoted from mimma
There's plenty of land available around Euro Park. Surely they need it all for industrial units, it would take forever to fill it.

As the park is developed it will need some sort of retail facilities, cafes etc, & the local bussineses would use the confrence facilities of the stadium. All this could be included in the new stadium.



All land to the Humber side of the A180 is reserved for industrial use only.This was a decision made after the end of the Second world War.The logic behind the continuation of this train of thought is that in the event of any chemical/industrial disaster you would only have a small amount of people to evacuate from the area. If you had a football ground or housing then the consequences could be devastating and chaotic with large numbers of people concentrated in a relatively small area. This is not my opinion , only that of the authorities that decide these things.

Andrew De Freitas actually use to go and watch Town on a reguler basis, could never understand why he seemed to object to a new ground.

I have to say that I do not think it will ever happen in my life time. Sonic is quite correct sticking up for his brother, who I will once again say if he John Fenty was not on the board at this present time I dread to think where G.T.F.C would be

So why didn't you ask him the question if you couldn't understand his reasoning?

Quoted from Chris
JF is happy to develop anywhere but in his own back yard so instead of building the 400 proposed houses on the green belt in humberston he is so keen to protect, I propose the stadium gets built there instead.

Alternatively, there are government grants available if areas of high deprivation at being developed so the macauley tip was always an option. It isn't being considered because it isn't what Fenty wants but it makes far more sense than building it on peakes parkway.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there allotments next to the Macauley site?

Although I didn't see it personally, Radio Hullberside were running a story on their Breakfast show this morning about the KC Stadium and the fact that it is 10 years old this week. They were interviewing a councillor (I think) and asking how the stadium has helped the local area and economy.

I think a listen on the iPlayer is called for later as it will be interesting to know how it could also be a benefit to us, if we ever get one built!
