I don't think vegan catering would go down too well at BP !!


But that's how it will stimulate the economy of the East Marsh (it's Freemo Stad I'm thinking of). All those 1000s of disappointed meat-eaters will pour in to the caffs of the surrounding area.


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.

Are the pylons actually coming down then? That will be a very labour intensive task as they are over 100ft high.

What great history those floodlights bestow. 19th century spectators would have enjoy games with their light from the 1950s onwards, George Best fell in love with them. It would be a shame to see them scrapped.

19th century spectators would have been pretty old by the 1950s.

Quoted from KingstonMariner


Maybe he should invest in GTFC rather than FGR. It’s a better fit what with the growing renewables sector out of the Humber. Building an eco friendly ground IN A TOWN with rail connections, and which will be used by more people than off a motorway[/b] in the middle of nowhere[b] is far more sustainable, and it’ll help regenerate a poor area. That’s got to be a much better message for an old Crusty like DV.


That's why he choose FGR, not about football really, it was all that land surrounding FGR. The millions he has invested is peanuts, to what he will get from the Green Tech business park.

Dale Vince, Founder of Ecotricity, said:
"The stadium is the most important part in the short term – the thing we need the most, and the easiest thing for planners to approve, so we’re removing the obstacles, which ironically we thought were the major benefits to the District, the 4,000 job green tech business park."
“Eco Park has just been earmarked by the council for employment use as part of the local plan review. The message we’re getting is that we need to come back in a few years’ time. We may do that.”


" Meanwhile, with FGRFC’s promotion to the English Football League, average spectator attendance is increasing rapidly. This brings a whole host of extra problems to our constrained New Lawn site in Nailsworth.  We need a solution, and need it quickly…. " This bit made me laugh or for you younger ones LOL.

I think their structural integrity is the reason they are being replaced. Well past their " sell by date ".
