Has anyone given thought to getting in and out if the main stand was made bigger? It's bad now and making it bigger would further reduce the space for safe movement

Crikey  it's a block further to walk than the Findus that shouldn't put people off.The parking in my opinion is the biggest problem it's gridlock with any crowd over 5k

But we wouldn't just add on to the existing Main stand would we?

We would completely demolish it and build a new structure which would give greater room for "safe movement."

If we ever get that far and we see an architects drawing we will be amazed at what could be done with the space. Money however will be a much bigger problem.

I just have a feeling Tom Shutes has more to come regarding the new stadium (docks) now he's got his Ice Factory plans approved.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

We needed a new ground 20 odd years ago. The fact that it's been a nearly a quarter of a century without any progress is shocking. Just build the bloody thing. Other teams up and down the country haven't had this difficulty.

Look at the Stacey West development in Lincoln, a vision for the future and integration of the community.

The idea 63 years ago was to build a new Stadium on Cambridge Avenue.  We've had over 60 years of basically no action, just pipe dreams.  No-one is going to put tens of millions into BP I'm afraid, and I don't see any major companies throwing tens of millions at a club repeatedly dropping into non-league.  The realism is it's government levelling up money (which isn't affected by us being non-league), or stay where we are, as we are for the next 63 years.

The problem with the houses behind the main stand is most if not all love living there.. I grew up in one of them. My Gran lived there for over 60 yrs .. Going to sleep watching the ship and light ship lights twinkle and flash in the dark was magical. Trains never bothered you and was a sort of entertainment especially the steam trains.. Never once heared anyone moan about the football crowds and noise . People would die to live with these things in stead of looking out and seeing a concrete jungle . You can put a price on bricks and mortar but not on how much people love living where they are

Without government subsidies or a major sponsor there is no way there will be a new stadium in my lifetime. Even all this talk of a new main stand is just a pipe dream, where’s the money coming from? Not from Stockwood and Co thats for sure, we’re still waiting for the training ground more BS.

If there’s any hope it seems to be with this Shutes guy, give him credit it looks like he’s already pulled of the redevelopment of the docks, and this was the guy talking up the new stadium with planning and vision, it’s a shame he’s not one of our owners.

Cheers  for that, You make me want to move back to my town of birth. And to top it off  a 2 minute walk to BP in my latter years.
