That clip shoes when we had fencing around the pitch, can't remember if it was the Bradford fire or Hillsborough that got it removed ?

It would have been after Hillsborough


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.

Tremendous team we had then. It was a real pleasure watching them.

It was after the Taylor report. The inquiry into ground safety after Hillsborough.
Hillsborough a tradegdy, but football grounds haven’t been the same since.

Anyone got any idea how much money GTFC would get for Blundell Park if sold to relocate ?

I would imagine the demolition costs would be immense for a prospective developer.

IIRC it’s dropped quite sharply recently. Is it about 500k or have I imagined that?

In last year's accounts Tangible Fixed Assets (the physical property of the club, other than stuff like stock the shop sells) totalled £675k. Most of this would have been BP. The notes to the accounts say it was valued at 'net proceeds' - presumably the value after demolition(?)

Not noticed this before but it also quotes a figure of £132,000 for Intangible Fixed Assets. There's no explanation of what this is. I think in a 'normal' business this would cover the value of 'goodwill'. God knows how you put a number on this. Maybe Herts would be able to shed light on it?
