    Just a thought, you may know far better than me, but if the first games are televised and with no crowd, then couldn’t they have played the games at Station View? Rent the ground from the Railway, put some rent money into them? May also unsettle some of the visiting teams and give them an advantage.

    I guess they could play an EFL team in the FA cup, what happens then? They have played Bristol and Mansfield at home in the past.

    But if no one is allowed to go to the stadium, then it would only be the pitch. Good enough for the FA cup with league sides on two occasions. What would happen if the Railway got through again? Would they be banned from playing at home. I seriously doubt it. It would be a small windfall for the Railway, less travel time for the team (I guess they will go together on a coach) and as I say could unsettle some opposition.

    It won't unsettle anyone.
    They wouldn't share with railway anyway and I doubt railway would want them.
    Neither would the carehome next to their pitch .

    Its not gonna happen, they wanted to play at donny and will.
    Wonder if we'd hire park avenues pitch ?

    It will be interesting to see what sort of pitch Harrogate end up with.They laid the 4g pitch because they were having serious problems with the drainage on their old grass pitch.Now they have to lay a new grass pitch,I wonder if they will sort out the drains.

    I cannot recall where I heard it but there was talk of them laying the new pitch over the existing one.

    to be honest that doesn’t look much different to behind the goals at Harrogate now.

    my point was the amount of improvement is much the same

    Yes, and the one you posted of the Bradford End is totally different to the current Bradford End. Both have changed massively.
