I don’t think a council owned stadium, such as fool city in Kingston is the way forward. The owners of Hull City are hindered in progress due to only appearing at the stadium, rather than benefiting for more than the 23 days they pay rent.
I would say that round where I live, FGR are about to move to another new stadium, in a facility that has other uses to provide an income for the football, but again no sod has been dug, nor does the intricacies of who actually now owns the club clear!
Town sold more season tickets than the full attendance at the last FGR match. I think the owner might want more supporters to fill his existing ground than want to move to a new one. |

Parking is a problem everywhere nowadays. I live on a 1960’s estate and everyone has 3 cars
I decided to go to Wycombe v Lincoln 2 weeks ago but couldn’t find a parking space anywhere within a mile of the ground so gave up and came home
Think clubs have to work with local authorities and sort effective public transport

It's one thing having an effective public transport system to a football ground and another getting Joe Public to use it. BP is well served with buses from Grimsby and Cleethorpes Town centres but it will be hard convincing a lot of fans to use them. |

I have already commented on this fact in the season ticket thread! In fact, we get double what they get! But their owner has the impetus and funds to further the course, whether the locals agree with him, or not! |

Wild dream I know, but I always imagined a new stand being built behind the main stand, to rise above it - effectively making the main stand the lower tier, and a larger upper tier to mirror what's opposite.
Obviously the main stand is made of wood and needs restructuring, but it'd be ace to retain some sense of history and build around it. There aren't many houses behind the main stand to 'buy up'.
Please don't get on my case and say this is ridiculous. I know it is. We're all allowed an imagination though!

There are around 15 houses behind the Main Stand. I have no idea what their market value would be but I doubt it’s less than £150,000 each and that’s before a compulsory purchase premium. Never going to happen. |

Apologies my friend, just took the info from Saturdays result. From what you are saying the owner is more of a dictator if he's not interested in the locals. |

A benign dictator maybe. And not in the sense of ‘benign loans’. |

Both got bad dress sense I suppose. But one has a vision that doesn’t just involve his own enrichment. And on that front he was actually more successful than our one. |
