Whats the point of moving from Blundell Park if were going to end up in the East Marsh? All the problems associated with where we are at present will be exactly the same if we end up on Freeman Street.

Agreed. For a lot less cost we could put in one or two new stands at BP. And still have the site and history.

Why can't not enabling development aid this?

Can't see that I'm afraid. Better public transport, car parking in town centre, modern facilities, opportunity to increase non matchday income and gentrify the area. A community stadium in the heart of the community would be far more beneficial to the town as a whole. The days of out of town grounds are numbered.

Joint council venture with the club to redevelop area round Freeman Street ,use Carrow Road as example.


You wouldn't get the balls back that went over the stand-they'd be in Cash Converters before the game was over.

Can’t see the stadium happening  every hurdle under the sun to navigate from moaning residents to nesting newts a divisive council and the biggest one no real money , now if we want a skateboard park different story ...... starting to think maybe a new stand or 2 at bp might be the only real hope

But that would depend on the council granting planning permission, which is highly unlikely. The council at the time when a new ground was first mentioned stated they would rather the club moved than develop BP.

Can anyone explain to me how moving to P.P. benefits anyone but those who own the land,a Community Development has to be within the Community.

The whole point is to encourage extra non-matchday revenue - who's going to want to hold  their wedding reception in the East Marsh? Itll still be a ball ache to get to and everyone will park in the streets around the ground just like they do at the moment. Im a bit doubtful about better public tranpsort - I suspect the club would have to pay a packet to upgrade the Docks station.

The idea is that if you regenerate the area, people will want to come to it.
