Good to see several people hitting the nail on the head…
BP puts potential fans off. It’s a dump. The casual fan can’t buy a decent ticket with a good view.
There’s no reason we couldn’t get regular 10 figure crowds if we had a nice new stadium with good views from every seat. Especially if we move through the divisions.
Jason & Andrew know this but they aren’t going to go down the Fenty route of promising the world and delivering nothing. When (not if) a new stadium is announced it will be when all pre-planning permission boxes have been ticked (location, funding & contractor).
I think we should be looking at a 13-14,000 seat stadium built with possible future expansion in mind. And built so that away allocations can easily be altered to accommodate more home fans easily.
I’m sure you don’t mean that. 1,000,000,000 people coming to watch Town. Not even Councillor Dorkin [sic.] is that optimistic 😄

10 figure crowds. Wow! We really are going places!!
The view from the back of the stand is going to be really terrible though. You'll need binoculars.

How big is the printer? 😂
As big as we want, because the printer can be printed to scale.

Someone was badgering him with questions about the glass within 3 seconds of the full time whistle at the Wrexham game.
What questions? Unnecessary expenditure when squad strengthening should be the priority? Safety i.e. shatter resistance? It would be nice if the owners gave us a clue as to what is going on with regard to relocation. For example: "We have thanked the Freemen for their enthusiasm and patience, but feel most fans would not want to park on the East Marsh." or "The old fish dock is our preferred site, and we continue to negotiate with ABP." or "We have informed the council that Grimsby West represents the best chance to deliver a new stadium." or "League One is our natural level, and so the existing 9,000 capacity is adequate." It is nearly three years since the high rise flats were demolished. I hoped we would create a 'modern' Blundell Park at Freemo, close enough to Freshney Place for park and ride or park and walk. Alas, I get the impression most people would prefer a vast car park on the western outskirts of town.

As we all know they inherited BP in wonderful condition and it didn't need anything doing to it to bring it up to anything like an acceptable standard.

No, I'm not a friend of Fenty, far from it. Do you know where the new stadium will be, or where Stockwood wants it to be?

There have been many times where they have been asked about a stadium and each time they've said it's not a priority now and they have many other things they're working on eg a new training facility, which they've said they will be making a decision on where that will be fairly soon, maybe 2 months. More recently, with increased attendances, they've said a new stadium is still not a priority but they will keep monitoring the situation.
