Why would we want be associated with businesses that don't give a [SwearFilter] about the nation's health? Just because Linaker is happy to suck Walker's Jersey Royals doesn't mean we have to try and mount the fast food greasy bucket.

How was that financed ? Thats a lot of cash for there owner to have stumped up surely.

Sorry if this has been answered already. BUT!

Fyldes new owner has financed their brand new stadium and also the redevelopment of their old ground into a new training complex. by leasing out 4 buildings all on 99 year leases to very high profile customers Aldi, BP, KFC and Starbucks. They also have an excellent bar/ function suite(Bradley's bar) and a lot of office space which is used by BAE for corporate events and training.

I hate being envious even sometimes jealous of our rivals but fylde are doing it right. We don't have that option at holker street but we do have a lot of thinking to do. What if?? We do go up.? Are we even allowed into the football league with our current facilities.

There is a bar at the ground.

Good logic, fruitcake. Relevance etc?

Are you a former member of this forum in disguise? Seriously; a good post!

Let's face it...Holker Street is a dump! And it has been for a long time...too long! As for renovating it. I wouldn't bother - a brand new stadium is what we need to inject some new interest into the club.

The only stadium I've seen that has been renovated is Home Park- Plymouth Argyle. I often attended games when I lived down there. Home Park was similar to Holker Street. One open roofless end, old fashioned stands, old terracing, a shabby old ground. The only thing going for it was its location in Plymouth Central Park - the only football ground, as far as I know, to be accessed via a Public Park.

I attended a game a few years back when they played Notts Forest. What a make-over! Work still needs to be carried out on the one remaining old stand - the Lyndhurst Stand - all the other three sides are seated and enclosed with a roof similar to Wembley. They probably renovated it instead of moving because of its picturesque setting in the park. Holker Street is no beauty spot so let's move!

Home Park actually resides IN Plymouth's Central Park. A lovely setting for a Football Stadium...

Turriff United's ground is also in a park, your knowledge is diabolical.
