The Walkers Stadium

Who was chairman and who was in the board of directors at the time the decision to build the Walkers?

John Elsom was Club Chairman and Rodney Walker was PLC Chairman.

OK, anyone else, like me, believe we wouldn't be in half the trouble we are in if the Walkers had never been built? I know our troubles have mainly been due to wasted money of transfer tosh but I think this project is a major factor.

We wouldn't have gained promotion if we didn't have the Walker stadium imo.

Ah not true

we sang

"Your grounds to big for you"

They sang

"This grounds to big for you"

Big differnce.

It is actually quite funny the difference because it is the honest truth. They cannot say 'your ground is too big' but it isn't ours :D:rolleyes:

No the Walkers is a great stadium and the revenue it has produced compared to Filbo Street is probably massive.

Yeah agree. As much as we all loved filbo (and we all loved filbo) The Walkers was a step forward and i am proud to have it.

im proud to have it too

would you rather have a new up to date stadium

or

a stadium that needs expensive repair work done to it every season?

I think some people are getting the wrong end of the stick, the problem is we don't and never have owned it. IT ISN'T OURS!! All it has done it plunged us into great debt and helped us fall drastically into adminstration. Plus, Filbo was old but it was hardly crumbling to pieces.

The Walkers will be Milan's in due course. Soon we will be debt free and riding the high life.

And then we wake up.

To add to this, luckliy we fell into administration a season or two before the -10points rule came in. Just think about the mess we would have been in.

Why's that? Would you care to explain?

Teams take a year or two to settle into their new grounds. Arsenal are a prime example. Leicester got promotion in their first season which was brilliant.
