If true then this is fantastic news . Moving to an overpriced soul less stadium isn’t the way forward for gtfc in my opinion. Yes I get all the revenue stream arguments but does the wider area have the financial potential to service and make a new stadium viable. I’m not convinced.

I am aware the new owners are currently looking at re-developing the main stand, so on that point there is no urgency to leave BP


Sounds good to me, but is it a case of wood glue and nails, or a rebuild?


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I would say yes it does, but I trust 1878 judgement on this - they have the right combination of expertise with the track record...

With a decent replacement for the main stand built, the ground would look completely different.
Just throwing another idea out there … could it be rail seats / safe standing?

I much prefer the idea of rebuilding the main stand. A massive piece of history lost of course, which is a shame. But we get to keep BP!

A kind of mini Kippax Stand- interesting but would never be allowed. Safe standing if allowed will probably have to be a relatively small % of the overall capacity. Also think demand for standing places would be much lower than in the 70s. Maybe 3k maximum for Town?

If the Main stand was to be rebuilt would it have to be same height etc to pass planning..

Yeah, because BP has such great memories for most of us. Not.

Get rid of it, it’s sh#t.

If true then that’s brilliant. Get a new one running the full length of the pitch and allow for potentially connecting a new Pontoon and Osmond which in time would wrap fully around to the Smiths. Ideally we’d want something similar in capacity to the Co-Op at Lincoln (5700) but even just stretching down the extra third of the length of the pitch would turn 2277 into approx circa3500.
