How about this, we'll not be in a new ground for at least 5 years so, move the changing rooms into the findus stand ( always will be the findus stand ) and replace the flood lights with ones that can be retro fitted to the new ground. Trent bridge in Nottingham has 6 sets of lights so all we have to do is just send the lads in and borrow them.

Just waiting for one (or more) of the floodlight pylons to fall over or be declared unsafe, then what (Fenty in his posh motor with the headlights on full beam?)

Didn't know about the floodlights being second hand from Wolves

Managed to appear in one of the Upper Findus photos so will be looking for a publicity fee?

On a more serious point if a player signs for town it will not be on the back of the quality of our facilities!!! We really don’t spend any money do we. Surely a bit of modernisation in respect of tiling and renewing the showers would not break the bank☹️

John Fenty is just mixing the tile adhesive as we speak.

Good article. Agree some of BP needs changing (if possible), but, that article makes me think we need to be careful about any new ground. Not just as he hints re: Darlo, making sure there's a proper business case (and as many football club owners have shown, they can be a cavalier bunch in this regard), but also trying to retain some of the heritage if and when we do move grounds.

'Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone'


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Thanks for an interesting read. Ever since the early nineties I have been a staunch pro new stadium “activist”. I never gave a thought to the nostalgia and history of Blundell Park, only seeing it as an odd, embarrassing, decrepit ground, well past its sell by date. I wore my red Conoco stadium cap with pride in the early nineties, when the new ground at Great Coates was being proposed. For the last few years I have posted Emails, written on social media, written to the local newspaper and the local council in support of new stadia on Peaks Parkway. But all the while I had a gut feeling the out of town areas proposed, were not suitable and I secretly feared the soulless, half empty concrete dome so often evident in today’s game. People say you don’t miss something until you no longer have it. I feel this could be the case if we move. If and when a new stadium is built I hope it will be at the heart of our community, have character, meaning and be something the whole area can be proud of. Unfortunately, though, I have no confidence the current board can, or will deliver this.

Wasn't the pitch relaid just a few seasons ago, I remember pictures of tractors going up and down laying sand before the new turf.
