There are no plans-at least not on paper. It is your opinion and you are quite entitled to hold it but it remains that-an opinion that has to be based entirely on supposition at the moment.
The residents may have known about the existence of a football club when they purchased their properties but as regards the redevelopment of B.P. they would have at least equal grounds for complaint with the extra traffic, noise etc. involved in any building work and whilst this would be an extended temporary inconvenience the residents would have to live with the results. Far more people would be affected by that redevelopment than by any development along Peaks Parkway which would increase the chances of planning permission not being given.
Does your opinion stretch to considering how revamping B.P. would give the club the 7 day use that J.F. hopes for with the Parkway development?
I suspect that whatever we say about Blundell Park's suitability that J.F. will have a big say in it seeing as the proponents of a scheme for upgrading B.P. tacitly appear to expect him to foot what remains of the bill after allowing for any grants. Grants which, incidentally could be available for Parkway...
That is my opinion. I suspect we won't know which of us is "right" until proper plans are published.
Interesting what 7 day use there would be. |

Well I'm led to believe there will be sports facilities, conference facilities and leisure facilities but as I said before anything at the moment is hearsay! I have no inside information-like just about anyone else who has contributed to the myriad threads on the subject  |

Shoot me down, but if raising enough money for the ground is the stumbling block, why not slash the cost, and build half of it ( two sides ) giving a more than adequate capacity of 7,000 at this moment in time.
Then when the times right ( financially and need for greater capacity ) finish the third side, ultimately completing the project.
Part of something is better than lots of nowt.

God I'm in danger of hogging this whole thread....Have you been to Oxford's Kassam stadium? They decided to develop three sides. The empty end really kills atmosphere. If you need to reduce the amount of build then M.K. Dons ground was probably the best. Apparently they built one tier with the proviso they could build on top should the need ever arise (hardly likely for Franchise F.C. but a good idea nevertheless...)

Nobody on here seems to have any ideas on how to address the problem of planning permission for any development at BP. It wouldn't be a foregone conclusion that because there is a stand there now then if we demolished it we could just replace it without involving the council for planning permission. As I've said before the only reason we went down the road of a new ground all those years ago was because of the councils preferred choice of relocation as opposed to updating BP.

I think that's everyone's worst fear moosey. A cloned box stadium (a bit like the original great Coates) that has no soul.
i dont think there is a modern stadium that has a soul, been to plenty and the larger ones all look exactly the same once inside, a bowl of concrete steps, plastic seats, block walling and steel beams. I personally would prefer the four distinct stand type of design if possible, old school. On the smaller scale of new grounds i actually quite liked Dartford's, sod the all seater design off and at least give the home fans a proper terrace section to play in. |

But like I mentioned in another post, who will actually own the ground and surrounding area. If it is like the Keepmoat for instance, this wasn't built for just the benefit of Doncaster Rovers as they are only leasing it for their home matches, it is used for ladies football and rugby so I would suggest monies from the use of the conference facilities, leisure facilities and even concerts held there would go into a pot to try and pay off the original cost and running of the site not for the benefit of Donny Rovers. So perhaps if this could be confirmed by someone  |

You could be right. I guess only time and a few concrete planning documents will tell.... |
