sherlyegg Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 As long as not some flat pack stadium out in the sticks then i would begrudgingly accept a move. Rather stay where we are though, if only the club had bought up all houses around the ground over the past 30 or so years..with rent coming in it would have made sense..instead of buying jordan rhodes we should have bought vere rhode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Brentford's fire sale approach every summer will stand them well for years to come. Maupay - 20m - 2019 Konsa - 12m - 2019 Mepham - 13m - 2018 Woods - 6.5m - 2018 Jota - 7m - 2017 and add to that list, many players sold for 3, 4 and 5m Stadium payed for, future guaranteed, decent location in London.

NYCOWL Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 large sections of the ground are not fit for purpose because of a lack of investment. This is hampering is in terms of revenue generation. Yoir turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think though SYP/SAG are over cautious because of the disaster though + the fact its a pretty dated stand. While ever it's like it is SYP and SAG will dictate ridiculous levels of segregation. Desperately needs modernising. In the grand scheme of things it's at the bottom of the list. I didn't say they were frightened of going to Hillsborough anywhere. The disaster isn't allowed to go away, ask many people, not necessarily football people, just people in general first thing that comes into their mind about Hillsboro, its not the football. Maybe when our generation has gone, so another 30 years we (the club) may be able to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juts because you don't like something doesn't mean it wont happen or that other people thing it needs to happen. 'IF' we end up moving don't go to the games, its your choice. Makes no odds to me.

If the ground is tarnished, it’s bevause the West Stand should have been demolished and replaced. Beyond that, I just don’t care what other fans think, our ground is for us.

Its everybody else and whilst its there it damages the club. People like UEFA, the FA and the EFL, who have all used/chosen the stadium in the years since 1989. IMHO, you're spouting ballcocks. Using the disaster is an easy cop out for straw man arguments about relocation. Leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan style stadium for use in the summer for huge music concerts. 65k capacity, best venue outside london. So we had talks with Utds owners? Which one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarn owl Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Couldn't we just move across the road? Largely empty land and by my clearly perfect measuring with my fingers on my phone i think the ground would fit there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which establishments will be on this retail park? Pub? Nandos? Taco Bell? Krispy Kreme? Just outside the ground! exciting times. You will now say Lidl, B&M and Pets At Home and my excitement will disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
