Question Quick Poll just to gauge things re: RH and FF

Would you rather stay at RH or move to FF

So what would be your choice. A redeveloped RH or FF


It's just a vote so lets not turn this into another thread please people.
 
I don't see how it is feasible in terms of the long term to stay at Roots Hall but if people more knowledgeable than me say it can be refurbished then I'd vote for that.
 
Where would we play our games whilst Roots Hall was being re-developed? Would be a massive job to do that up to a decent standard. Fear that would take longer than 1 summer to get done.
 
I love RH and yes it is a S**thole but it is our S**thole
I would love to stay where we are but know this is just not feasible now due to the serious under investment caused by a certain person
If we could stay at RH I am happy to ground share while it needs to be undertaken

If Roots Hall is totally redeveloped it's effectively a new stadium as far as I'm concerned - not sure how that is appreciably different from moving to FF (which, under normal circumstances, SHOULD be the better option financially).

It would but think you could do it without moving.

Year 1 - Start building a new East Stand behind the current, once season complete demolish the old one. East Stand ticket holders in West and South for one year

Year 2 - Start Building new North and South stands. Demolish old ones at seasons end. Move West STH into bigger East Stand with exisiting East Holders. Build new pitch

Year 3 - Demolish West Stand and build new one over season. West STH's return follow completion

Something like that?
 
I voted for FF but would happy to stay at RH but only if a new stadium was built on site.
If we are to move forward as a club we really need a new stadium with excellent facilities. A patched up RH may be beneficial in the short term but would be the worst long term option.
