Glen hump Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 2 minutes ago, RoystonFoote'snephew said: I don't believe the Gas have intent towards a new stadium. If they did they should have made a huge play a few years back for the land adjacent to Gypsy Patch Lane and the A38 where the Village hotel and gym, plus a number of car showrooms now stand. Easy access to the motorway, a local rail station and on a bus route would have made it ideal. They could even have used Stoker's as their pub. They need someone else to pay for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewisdabaron Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 48 minutes ago, Super said: To be honest with 3400 in the new stand, the potential for at least 5000 in a redeveloped Thatchers end and 1800 in the West / East stands that gives us 10000 seats and approx 3000 standing left on the sides - good enough unless we hit the championship at which point rebuild the East.

They didn't like that as money from the Mem would have been their input into the ground. The Fruit-i-had , they wouldn't have owned ( long lease ) and CONYGAR would have had a share in revenue.
