Is that really true, James? You're not exaggerating? That is worse than I imagined for a single exit car park and one of the reasons I think Freemo would be better than Grimsby West or Peaks Parkway.
I've sat in it myself before so I'm definitely not exaggerating. |

Just talked to a scunny supporter mate and he says it only takes him 3 minutes to get out of their car park, did then say that that’s the usual time for their support but when Town are there then yes it’s up to an hour.

might get a few red crosses for this, but here goes
Wonder if yesterday vindicated 1878's view that we don't need the expense of a new ground when we haven't or can't exploit Blundell Park to it's maximum potential?
With everything going for it yesterday , weather, new regime, 18 month absence, improved match day experience , near record season ticket sales etc etc etc there were still only about 5000 home fans there, leaving almost 2000 seats unfilled, and that's without exploiting the potential of using the Ossie for home fans
Lucky to get 5000 in given our abysmal run of form,it will continue to drop and 1878 will have lost the momentum we gained at the beginning of the season. |

Absolutely relentless this bloke. Drags up a 4-month old thread just to plug Freemo once again.
What’s the interest, White Shorts? How much do you stand to make (or lose?) off the back of a stadium being built at Freemo or not?
I don't stand to make or lose anything. I just think it is a much better location for a community stadium than the outskirts of town, surrounded by a vast car park that is only full on 23 days a year. |

The funding has to work for the club too. Many clubs that move don't actually own their new stadium. I know many are owned by local councils but what is to stop them raising the rent in 10-15 years?
We need to own any new ground and it needs to be financed in a way that doesn't risk the future of the club.
I do think a proper evaluation of what exactly can be done with Blundell Park should be conducted though because it can be done at a pace to suit us. The old regime always dismissed it because it didn't include nice little earners for themselves. Isn't the land at Peaks Parkway owned by the Casswell family? That would be the Casswell family that one of Fentys' daughters is married to...
Am I the only person who is suspicious about this? That land was advertised for sale in 2019 with planning permission for a stadium. Presumably Fenty's in-laws would benefit financially from any development there. Stockwood and Pettit were not living in a cave prior to taking over last year. They must know that the council and Freemen were keen on an East Marsh stadium. Could a secret condition of the takeover have been relocation to Peaks Parkway? |

]] The land is owned by NELC and was part of the land that was to be gifted to the club as part of the enabling project unless the council sold it after the ground move was taken off the table which i doubt, Most of the land around Waltham and new Waltham is owned by Strawson with the Casswell's owning all their land nearer Tetney to Louth |

They’ll have done well to advertise it as such given that no such permission has been granted. |

Shutes was the man talking about a new stadium, not Pettit or Stockwood and to this day I suspect that’s the reason he walked away from the deal. I don’t doubt he would’ve got the ground over the line but I think the other two saw there were more pressing issues before spunking a load of cash on a stadium…

I trust the new owners to do what’s in the best interests of the club at the appropriate time, do we have any other choice but to do that?
