The way I read was if we take them down and build new, we would need a loan from the Football Foundation and they may expect that loan to be paid back if we were to move within 10 years, the other alternative is we take them with us to our new ground.

I don't see this as a cheap option, it's more of a good business decision.

The one thing that stands out for me in all this lack of investment / updating ground is no wonder the ground looks poor and there hasn't been any investment if JF is trying to pursue a career in politics how can you be a local Councillor and run a football club....simple answer you can't.

So I say this to JF. You might be happy for the club to trundle along and operate in autopilot mode when your doing your politics, but can you please hand over the reigns to someone who will be able to use all their energy in trying to get GY out of the 90"s and not someone who ain't going to be around when key decisions are needed to be made.

Quoted from tintowner
Its probably going to resemble what Workington did to their floodlights quite a few years ago.

They were very similar to those at BP.......tall and proud.

They were deemed partly unsafe. So they were basically cut in half and the lamps attached to them.

They didn't look right, but they did the job required.

Just what this club needs: a permanent, prominent symbol of cheapskatery.

I’d rather have excrement floodlights and more pumped into the playing budget. Don’t see the issue.

Quoted from marinerdazza
As recent as 4 or 5 days ago it was re-confirmed they were being taken down and replaced. Now it seems they've reviewed it and for some reason it's not viable.

Which suggests to me that until this week, no one actually looked into it properly.

I've no problem with saving money, especially when it might be dead money. But christ almighty this all looks very amateurish.


I am shocked I tell ya!

IF we ever move ground in the next 10 years and had to pay back our grant as we couldn't take the new pylons with us, those very fans complaining of us taking the cheap option would be complaining about us not taking the cheap option!
