    Ive never known a club yet drop their prices when they didn't have to. A wonderful sweet notion, kinda something Corbyn would embrace.

    I suggested this many times on here mate.

    Noticed how we also have this thing of not paying compo for managers?

    Might seem crazy today but ask yourself where the majority of fans might live in 20 years time?

    The reality is looking at WHU last accounts (May 2019) revenue was £198,695,000, STs £23,659,000, that to me seems a pretty big "drop"

    Some slightly older profit/loss figures here for comparison:

    Even in League 1 and 2 club owners are putting £millions in to be competitive.

    The big difference is thought that Bournemouth are backed by an actual Multi-mliionaire whose putting his money in and not a convicted fraudster like Bolton whom was taking it out in large amounts. Fit & proper test is laughable

    That's just yet another load of "Can't do's".

    Just about every ground has a problem with convergence after a game, obviously. That area is no worse for access than a ton of grounds I've been to and better than plenty. I like a bit of imagination, the green cycle route from the city centre, the canal, park & rides from Bradford/Shipley, er, walking.

    I live a fair distance away. Like a significant number I travel over on the M62. So another half an hour trying to get to Baildon, where there will be little parking may well be the ‘final straw’.

    Shouldn't worry, highly unlikely any move would happen in most of our lifetimes...

    I get that, but for every person who comes from the South there will be another with an easier journey.

    Why would anyone put a ground anywhere near Baildon? A right pain to get to, nowhere to build it, and it's nearly in Leeds.

    I agree but if there is ever a fall out the ends could be the same

    Just about any Ltd company has the same issue if the major shareholder pulled their money.

    Only one pub at the traffic lights as well (decent beer mind)! I agree with you. However there is a poster who goes to Harrogate Town Who is big fan of this (exceptionally vague) possibility , so perhaps seeking to replicate the experience?
