Breaking News New Stadium Mk II - Plans revealed.

[Jam_Man]

The new ground was going to be in a bowl to minimize the noise to the cemetery .......anything on the new plans?

Still is a bowl, do you mean submerged?

I dont really think it would make a huge difference anyway, its right next door, the crowd will be heard either way. Its only for a few hours a month so I cant imagine it would matter, they dont have services when there are games.

Is anyone else concerned that we have only been shown aerial plans of the new stadium?

I am worried this development just be a painting of a stadium on some tarmac and as such be totally unsuitable for league football.

Who cares? It'll look great on Google Earth.

Maybe there aren't services BUT people do visit their friend's and relatives' graves and memorials; and that is very often at weekends. I am not thinking of it as "stopper" to the development, but that it is something which needs to be treated with respect, consideration and care.

This was all brought up and subsequently passed ok with the enquiry. Many football grounds are close to a cemetery. A friend of mine who's family are all shrimpers was recently looking for somewhere nice to go after their dads funeral. The new ground could offer the only option locally for such an occasion.

That was all discussed around the time of the original planning permission. I would imagine that whatever discussions took place then are still valid.

Fair play to Ron for sticking with it i reckon most would cut their loses and walk away

Indeed. That's why we are definitely not back to 'square one'

He'll never do that. Walk away and he loses a fortune, including his house according to some. Get it done, and he makes a fortune.

Fair points, and as I posted NOT a "stopper" to the build, especially if it has been recognised that these considerations do MATTER.
My brother-in-law, a long time ST holder died not many years ago and his wake was at the main bar at Roots Hall - which incidentally was very well run, and attended by several on here: however a new, modern facility so close by would have been very fitting/welcome too.

I said we were back to square one in terms of the process. In that respect we still have to go through the whole process again, even if the process might be a bit smoother this time.

Aren't we away to Gillingham that Saturday ? If so, it's a bit of a kick in the teeth to supporters that work during the week and support our heroes home and away.

Christ, the club can't win can they???? OK, make it Thursday and Friday - 'that's a kick in the teeth for those that work Monday to Friday', let's make it Saturday and Sunday - 'that's a kick in the teeth for those that go to church on a Sunday'.

No-ones having a go at the club, they're just voicing frustration that they can't attend. However, if the club wanted to be fan friendly they could easily make one session of an evening.

If it's anything like Stadium MK, that gets a tick in my book,,:thumbsup:

Didn't Stadium MK get the most mentions in that thread about worst away days ever?

Just remember neighbouring Garon's Park gets loads of complaints about how cold it is in summer....

No, it was the old Hockey Stadium

Exactly !! :goodone:

Ah right, fair enough. I didn't attend either as I don't recognise Franchise FC as a legitimate team.

It goes on till 8pm, it is in the evening.

I didn't actually notice that, but even so, I would imagine that a fair proportion of people that work wouldn't be able to get there by then...
