I wondering if JF will pursue that exposé from Squarkus, mind you if he did, he would need a surgical team to remove him first

I don't want to stand in the toilets in the pontoon anymore with urine overflowing onto the floor all over my shoes.
I don't want to que up for a pie and tea at half time and have to watch part of the second half stood up when I've paid to sit in a seat.
I don't want to pay hard earned money to watch town play having to dodge my eyes round a metal stantion that's holding the roof up.
I know a lot of people that don't go anymore because of things like this, so yes we need a new home for the mariners and sooner the better IMHO

Of course I agree with you, but apart from the metal post those things can be easily remedied can't they?
This of course is another aspect to all this - 15 years of talk has led to allowing the current ground fall gradually into disrepair.
If we are looking at another 3,5 10 years or never, surely the owner has a duty to the fans to tackle the things you mentioned?
Power washing the front façade would make the place look a whole lot better for a start.
I was just about to create a new 'thread' called 'Blundell Park', when I read this. Sums it up - just maintain Blundell Park properly. This is our spiritual home (let no one underestimate this because these new grounds are soulless). Build a team that wins at home (and away). Get promoted a couple of times. That is the priority. The support numbers may increase if we have a good team but Blundell Park is quite capable of coping with it. The rail link to Blundell Park is not too bad either. Why does the club have to move - perfectly ok where it is in my view. What's the problem? |

John Fenty coming on The Fishy is a fantastic idea. It gives us more of a voice and a chance to get across our views in a civilised one. I've only seen one poster spouting off but you get idiots everywhere I suppose.
End of the day, and I don't want this to turn into a massive topic about John either, he's made mistakes along the way, he'll be the first to admit that. But he can't change whats being and gone and neither can we. The only way we will ever get back to where we belong is by all pulling together. The way I see it, we all want the same thing, a successful football club.
UTM!

Negatives already, before anyone one has had chance to read.
Looks like it's a stitch up.
Don't know why anyone would go to Blundell Park this season, because the 'Fishy' sentiment is don't go - because it's 'CRAP'.
Sad end to a great club.
UTM - in another life - all the best.

Agree that BP has so much to offer in the form of history location etc but, would the club get planning permission, finance etc to redevelop the ground?? As I said earlier in this thread, like it or not, both the main stand and the osmond would have to be ripped down (I presume at the same time), the pontoon has seen better days too. Don't get me wrong, I love going to blundell park but I am sure the men with the purse strings have looked into this. |

I'm pretty sure JF has been clear on this before. The club is not sustainable at BP, it's as simple as that. If we stay where we are, we will go bust. |

If we stay where we are in footballing terms, surely we will still go bust? |
