Quoted from MarinerMal
Would there be enough room for adequate parking at any Freeman Street site? If not we'd just be spending millions on moving many of the match day issues a few hundred yards down the road.


Maybe less of a problem because fewer people live round there now?


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.

One thing we've all overlooked in all this speculation about Freeman's (Freemen's?) Park is what do people living on the East Marsh think. I know there's a couple of posters who used to live there, but anyone living there now? What do you think?

Interesting to note that Rotherham United's ground, built just three years ago, has ZERO public parking  on match days. Zilch. Nada.

Being town centre there should be much less need for car parking than there would be at PP (and that BP currently does), with all local bus routes converging on the town centre.Then it's either a 15 minute walk to the stadium or jump on another bus for a quick 5 minute shuttle. A few hundred bike spaces and it will be like days of yore and we, GTFC, will rest easy knowing we have saved the planet. Don't sweat the small stuff people. I'd probably continue to park on Daubney Street and walk down, keep the tradition alive!

Being a little bit more serious for a second, I imagine multi-storey would be the way to go but this would of course be provisioned for at the planning stage.

As long as it's the "Conoco Stadium" as originally promised I have no issue where.

My cap is starting to gather dust.

I'm sure Pete still has his 'Ticklers Jam Stadium' straw boater.

Is it massively cynical of me to suggest that if it was the case that PP was continuing to progress whilst Freeman Street was still in no way an option that a statement to that effect would have been released?

Any other club in question that values it’s fans and you would be called a cynic but this is GTFC!

How about the "Someone else took over the club and actually made it happen" stadium.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
