I think this time of year, we’d have to be flying high in the league or have some upturn in weather to expect open seating to be filled week in week out. The option (possibly) may Be to move the fan zone to Harrington st/imperial corner and have the temporary seating to form part of the away end


Move the car park outside of the Findus to Harrington St and the fan zone in the car park. As someone made the point above the supporters come first.

There no way that we could afford a new ground now and those who are daft enough to believe we’d fill it every 2nd week are bonkers.

So far both JS & AP have not given us the figure of a 'full house' they are referring to, which is a bit disconcerting. We know the capacity is about 9,032 and somewhere around 8,000 -8,400 are the highest gates; but is 8,400 the full house figure JS & AP allude to?

If JS & AP want to stay at BP then they need to carry out some major work. As you point out other clubs have moved to new stadiums so we will have to wait and see. Talking of waiting AP spoke optimistically about the new training ground in January and we are still waiting, so any activity on a new ground/BP will probably take years.




To add to these figures today's gate v Donny was 8026, of which 1194 were from donny. So is a 'Full House@ around 6,900 to 7,000? of home fans. We'll have to wait and see.


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

Why?. We know the answer is around 7100 from the Forest game where there were  no untaken seats. 6832 home today leaves 200-300 season ticket holders missing . The only ones who don’t seem to know this are the management /owners or it doesn’t suit to say so. . In addition several hundred of these are not really fit for purpose

The fact we can't afford a new ground doesn't take away from the fact that we do need one. It's definitely a catch 22, but Blundell Park is definitely a relic and a much-loved one, but we do require a new ground with the further income revenues a new ground can supply.

Totaly agree... We need a team that can win at home or fans will not come no matter what the stadium is like . I for one do not think a new stadium is needed right now  especially in div two and especialy the way we play at home tis season

Does the fact we can’t afford it mean people should keep dragging up the topic or not?

I think focusing on the reality is probably best, listen to the owners as they’ve said (paraphrase) it’s not happening for a good while yet.

It frustrates me that we continue to chuck money at BP. I noticed today that the advertising boards have gone off the top of the Osmond. Does this mean reduced advertising revenue?

Think the team have been told not to perform at home so we don't have need of a bigger stadium due to support dropping away
