I grew up around the Freemo area and I’d love to see the club move to that part of the Town and breath some life into an area that if something major doesn’t  happen will surely be bulldozed into oblivion.

This would be a great place for a football, sports and community hub but don’t hold your breath as finding the cash to do something worthwhile looks unlikely.

Unless a Town mad Euro Millions winner fancies a go we’re stuck at BP for a good while yet 😩

Your last sentence is just like the stadium - a pipe dream

It actually seems up the entire Fenty reign in one sentence - a normal businessman would surround himself with people who know the ins and out of such matters and take an active but not overwhelming role in the process. However his over inflated  ego simply will not let him.  


Sadly I fear you are right.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Mu first job after leaving school in 1963 was as an apprentice bricklayer on the high rise flats,

I can not believe I have lasted longer than them,

So for that reason I would love our new ground to be there,

I think it’s a cracking idea, I’ll probably be in the minority though 🙂.

The area isn’t in great shape at the minute and it’ll give it one heck of a boost.

Might go out and buy the white knight, might be worth it. Anyone used to drink in there?


On the odd occasion.

I sent an e-mail to Chris Lewis at Extreme a few weeks ago asking if he thought that 'fan engagement' would help and to suggest that connecting with the long-suffering fans might be of benefit. It's not a surprise but he hasn't bothered to respond.

Quoted from Bigdog


I'd rather the club pay a rent to the council who would have a vested interest in its success rather than a 30mill bridging loan to a faceless bank. And we've got more chance of a pool of professional people getting the design right rather than the taste of one man who thinks roll necks, chintzy furniture and Sweet Caroline have a place in 2018..

Does this mean he will wait another 10 years till the council give a decision either way before committing himself to giving BP a lick of paint? Obviously the painting to be done by the man himself to save a few bob.


If he took his head out of the ceiling void in McMenemy's, he might have had more awareness of what was going on.

Quoted from Grim74
Hearing there is to be an announcement in the next few weeks that the new stadium at PP as been shelved and will now be relocated to Freeman street as part of the Councils regeneration plan. Now I’m one of the biggest sceptics that I know and I’m taking this rumour with a massive pinch of salt even though the person that told me was totally convinced.

So is there anyone that comes on here from the Council or the Club that can quash or confirm this rumour because it’s been a hell of a long time since the last update.


Funnily enough, I heard the rumour about Freemo last night. When I asked about the fact that the land was owned by several different parties, the response was 'someone's been buying up the plots. That's why several buildings are still vacant.' I thought it was because there's nobody who wants to invest there.

Well, I suppose it would be making some positive use of the area. Can't see how the traffic situation could be anything but chaotic though, especially during the summer months when you've got lots of holiday makers coming in.

Extreme look like a flashy web site and nothing more to me, it just shows the small time mentality of GTFC that to try and land the biggest off the pitch opportunity we have had in our history we jump into bed with a bunch of party boy opportunists who’ve only ever opened a bag of crisps never mind a football stadium.
