One sticking point atm is the purchasing of a small part of land and building on the grounds that HCC do NOT own (yet)
The plans would cut into where the Fair is held and would make the fair much smaller, which the Fair have said "we just wouldn't bother coming"

These plans etc haven't been made fully available as yet and can't properly until HCC acquire the land they need for the full sale to go ahead

I'll believe it when I see it

Good, the development of the city should not be held back for a one week a year event that only takes money out of the city.

Pearson did say there were plans for the development of the stadium, but nobody pressed him on it.

I thought Illicali’s plans were made public months ago and the Council were in favour of it. It included a small stadium about 10,000 capacity for City reserves and us to play in and the use of the stadium for derbies. The stumbling block was where would the fair go.

Absolutely, minimum of 15K would be needed for us we were getting over 10K last season and we were an absolute dogs egg of a team.

I alwayts thought a 16k stadium would be fine. I know we can get 22-23k for the Derby, but thats with 4k Rovers fans. a 16k stadium would mean we would only give them 900 tickets - see how they like it

Whislt its good to know that the clubs financial future seems secured for the next few years its what happens on the field that really counts.
Success breeds success not only in bringing in quality exciting players but it also builds the fan base as seen at HKR.
Sadly with this squad we are miles away from that and big name options quota or UK based very limited for 2026 due to contracts unless the club once again pay off players.
Have to say it looks like been turned down by Rowley and Lam has done us a favour.
Impressed with Cartwright on and off the field and pleased also that Andy Last is back on board.
If anyone can get a tune out of that lot,instill the discipline and fitness it looks to be Cartwright.

That was surprisingly somewhat positive from you Bonaire!

I think those plans were for a 12k stadium. All pie in the sky for me. If it did happen they'd probably increase the mkm to 30k seats which would be too big.

I'm hoping the new owners can do something about match day prices. It's about £30 a game to sit in the east stand I think

A few weeks ago people were getting their knickers in a twist that we missed out on 0.2 IMG points against the likes of Rovers, Cas and Wakey for stadium usage. It would solve that problem.
