Barnet ground

Doesn’t it say a lot about how the world has changed over the last few decades when they note that the floodlights are kept at a low level within the roof to reduce “light pollution “ in the surrounding area.

To me, one of the things that make night games so special is seeing the floodlights beaming out as you walk up to the stadium, it’s part of the “theatre”  

Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle

And there we go in one post: can't, can't,can't.

Then please be sensible and look at what we can, can, can.

Quoted from BobbyCummingsTackle

The club has always been run by people with a bit of vision and ambition........just imagine that.

Er, no it hasn't. It used to be owned by London's most notorious ticket tout, Stan Flashman. He used to sack Barry Fry and reinstate him, more or less, on a monthly basis  

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

How can we possibly compare GTFC’s position with a club in the highly populated southeast that has a history of links with PL teams round about? Their new ground is just a small part riding on the back of a massive social complex. Now if such things were possible in Grimsby then fair enough but there is neither the private nor public funding for that sort of enterprise in NEL.

I am as big a critic of the board About the prevarications on a new ground as anybody. But we have to compare like with like not fantasies and then use a fairy tale to bash our club with.

Agree with this.

Then please be sensible and look at what we can, can, can.

In the past 25 years there hasn't been any can, can, can.

yeah, shame no one goes through the turnstiles to support it

Is this about to turn into another boring Fenty/board bashing session?

If it does your to blame cos no one had mentioned that name till now

People naturally compare other developments at other clubs to our (non) development.

Of course there’s many a reason why we’ve literally stood still, particularly when it comes to a new stadium but it’s naturally people will compare and then make claims about our board.

I mean the fact these things do generally turn in to a mechanism to have a pop suggests there’s plenty wrong with the board, however in this instance the actual thread was about Barnets ground.

The plans look good and the wider community involvement etc is great and certainly something we could have when ours becomes more than a drawing on a homosexual packet.

Barnet will never get decent crowds, especially being a considerable distance from where they’re actually from. From a fan experience I’m not sure the ground is a great experience but then I don’t think any ground offers that unless it’s relatively full.

Good on them I say, at least they’re trying...

I think this is the point. You cannot have a “one plan fits all” scenario when every club faces different problems in getting a new ground. It it works out for Barnet then good for them. I am not sure it will personally because there are a lot of disparate bits to fit together. York ran into that problem too.

Glad they never had those ciggies  when I was smoking though.
