Seen it yesterday.

 

In truth nothing can be done without government support.

 

They can open early doors if they want nowadays.

 

He problem for us is we have an increased bill. We pay rent and other costs for things we don’t own. So now our bills are mounting up and we have no assets.

We will be feeling things more than any other clubs currently because of our increases in bills.
It’s all collective at this moment.

 

The Fordybot glitched to one it’s default posts

 

What about cricket?

 

Yes went to those. Didn’t something similar happen during the miners strike?

 

Hope I get a refund then dont finish work till 2.00 PM on a sat. Wont be happy.

 

Sshhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

Remember slamming school for a midweek game, I think it was Hartlepool

 

We're not going to do anything because we don't own the stadium or training ground. We have created our own problems.

 

Disagree re the whole lease issue. We could simply move them from VP to another stadium if that pipe dream ever became a reality.
I suspect that we'd also take the new scoreboard. As we bought and installed this post Gibb, so it doesn't' form part of the existing infrastructure under the lease.
Whatever long term solutions we look for to reduce overheads, there will have to be some initial outlay. Or could we do it through sponsorship, like we've done with the seats in the lower tier of the Bradford end?

 

The labour costs to remove solar and replace elsewhere would be extremely expensive. The scaffolding costs are something like 20% of a new install from memory.
We had scaffolding on a repair job at one of my old sites, much much smaller than anything than VP could throw up, let’s say the length of Midland Rd stand perhaps, they were in position 8 weeks. Cost £144,000! I kid you not.

 

If we're moving to new stadium you're talking several millions to build. I'd guess over £10m
So £144k is a drop in ocean.
A new stadium is a pipe dream at the moment. Energy prices aren't so the club need to focus on that now and worry about possible dismantling and moving costs as and when that situation arises (if it ever does).

 

It won’t you are right we have nowhere to go, it’s as simple as that unless we are bought out by an oil rich state.

 

Rubbish. Oldham have brought their ground. Think Scunny have recently also.

Stop talking wet.

 

Stop making out that only those with oil money can buy their ground or move.

It's not true.

 

have Oldham bought the ground or are the new owners buying it? I think it is the second as there seem to be comments that the ground and club will be owned by the same people rather than the club buying it

 

You buy it and donate to the club?
