Eddie Hitler Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Does anybody know what state the Memorial ground stadium is in? I've not been there but from clips of the games (by their entertaining blogger) it looks pretty old but I didn't know how bad it was; I remember the state of the Goldstone Ground away for a midweeker before Brighton moved ground; it was crumbling with huge sections roped off for safety reasons. As The New Stadium has been the goal for a few years they will have done the absolute minimum maintenance so I was wondering how the stands are holding up.

The ironic thing about the Mem is that despite it's utter crapness most of it isn't actually that old. The side stands were built by the rugby club in the 80s and 90s and the archaic looking clubhouse end was built by the sags after they moved in.

I don't think it would make much difference as even the lower value (for housing?) would still be a big sum for a local volunteer society with less than 200 members, and no history of raising big money. They might be able to convince a few extra people / organisations to commit, but would only have 6 weeks to put their bid together. A lot of organisations are good at talk, but when it comes to hard cash, the interests vanes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
