What I am saying is they can't refuse an application now because certain things did not happen last time. Other than Doris the tea lady I doubt any present staff were here when the ground was built. Not per se but they could argue as a business you didn't/couldn't implement the last conditions why should we believe you this time, certainly that's what any protesters might argue. They may even insist on any travel plans being implemented before final approval is given. The point is not whether they insist on anything ultimately but that all these potential arguments could cause a significant delay. Anyway as I said I'm sure Soulsby will be all for it so any significant obstacles will be dismissed or side track that is the Soulsby way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h1210 Posted 7 September 2016 Share Posted 7 September 2016 Not sure why the club would want to at the minute given the $$$ they are making from memberships without really having to do anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but unless the council have informed the current owners why would they know these conditions were in place. They bought a running business then bought the ground. They have had no reason to look into planning permission from when the ground was built. Its fit for purpose of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudulike Posted 7 September 2016 Share Posted 7 September 2016 Who are these protestors (Offside ??) ?? Weren't they the ones living the other side of Bede Island when the original proposal was on the table ?? I think there were only a few (about 2!) ojections to the Freeman's Wharf development.

They were quite a big group led by a city councillor, Mary Draycott. They started protesting with the big Bede Island proposal and reinvented themselves to put a block on the development of Filbert St particularly a big stand on Burnmouth St and the increased numbers. Fortunately Draycott is no longer a councillor but I'm sure she's still capable of being active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4DD0gg Posted 8 September 2016 Share Posted 8 September 2016 I think because our profile is so high now not only in the UK but on a global scale the council will have to buckle on this one and just agree to what the club want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there's a cycle lane installed circling the stadium and some student accommodation included in the extension, probably instead of executive boxes they'll be fine, they might even qualify for a grant.

Ashley Posted 8 September 2016 Share Posted 8 September 2016 We will be expanding a few things in the coming months to a year. Maybe something completely new will be built too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 8 September 2016 Share Posted 8 September 2016 Plenty of spare land near Grove Farm area and the Enderby park and ride. Be convenient for the away fans going in separate directions and local home fans going back into the city. Before the King Power was built, there was suggestions in having the new ground out-of-town but for some reason the idea was rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No residents affected so, I'd have thought, only the transport issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
los dedos Posted 8 September 2016 Share Posted 8 September 2016 I seen to remember one of the only objection was from one of the car showrooms over the road. Imagine "we object to 30,000 people walking by our showroom looking at our cars.Along with 1000s of others that will visit the club shop and may go car shopping at the same time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 8 September 2016 Share Posted 8 September 2016 I'd have thought most would be in support of the expansion, hopefully. As mentioned though transport appears to be the key factor which needs to be addressed - it takes a long time to get home with a 32k crowd, let alone another ten thousand on that. Personally, I'd like to see the East Stand and Kop expanded as a joint tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having looked at two Mercury articles just now though, from what I gather plans are in place as opposed to permission granted, that's how I understand it. Could be wrong...

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 8 September 2016 Share Posted 8 September 2016 Our ground is in an ideal position location wise in terms of it being in the heart of the city, I'm more for expansion on the current site as opposed to an entirely new stadium.

Great Boos Up Posted 24 September 2016 Share Posted 24 September 2016 The KP is going to look tiny after todays trip. If we seriously want to compete on a long term basis we must expand next summer or risk losing a future foundation of supporters and eventually lose more players to the big boys and slowly but surely drop back down.
