Great location but I have my doubts if it is big enough Of course it's big enough. It takes in the hotel grounds ,the links where the circus normally sets up,they said they are willing to move the transition climbing centre as well. Also I presume the kids swings and chute at the front would be moved as well. Link to comment

I still think it will be tight and will require bannermill flats to be blocked of sun light. 1 Link to comment
shut up meg Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 The road could always be built over, removed completely or redirected. There's plenty of room if you include the area next to Codona's. Link to comment

There would be objections from residents in banermill and constitution street with a stadium on their doorstep, it would drag on like kings ford. Link to comment
shut up meg Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Codona's is a private company on private land, the area to the north of Codona's is council land. Link to comment

Wester Hailes Skins Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 FWIW make sure fans are involved in the design, inside and out. We left ours to an architect who specialises in extensions, an old woman, and her brother, who supports our biggest rivals. Surprisingly it was somewhat of a fuck up. Some fans say it's all about the team on the park, who cares about the stadium. But players are here for 2 seasons. The stadium for a lot longer. Seat designs. Jumbo scoreboards. Statues. Corporate facilities. Bars. Changing rooms. Dugout designs. All matter and in my experience fans know best. Not suits. Link to comment

The problem now is that so many people have been sold on a better site that going back to ' All for Aurora' would seem even worse than the first time. Interesting that every poll show 'Aurora' firmly in last place as a preferred site. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Aye, but the goalposts have been changed by the council here, after the club were already halfway through implementing their original plan. The club have been put in a tricky position here now. I really don't think it will be happening down at the beach either unless the council are going to chip in towards it, and going by the 'help' they've offered the club in the past that seems unlikely. And even if they do, their track record in just about everything ever would suggest they'll be in no position to get going with this masterplan for the beach any time soon. And we aren't going to have any money to build a stadium anytime soon after Covid. Link to comment

After all it is a better location - so he has to show willing. The fact that its probably a non starter doesn't come into it. Marie Boulton knew full well what she was doing - nothing should have been said until the council are in a serious place to be able to deliver (and thats assuming there is a serious intent on this which I'm very doubtful of) , but that wouldn't have suited her purposes.

The way he vigorously masturbated over Kingsford made me think he really would have just shunned the new proposal straight away. Glad he didn't of course. Link to comment
