All things like basic facilities and fan comfort at BP will have to be addressed as going on the fans forum we will be there for many years yet.

On the subject of the forum one or two things intrigued me. Firstly the design which we have touched upon but was entirely predictable and disappointing.

The explanation of the finance for the stadium was non existent.

Was I correct in hearing Mr Day that Fenty had measured the site himself and declared the site big enough? Is Mr Fenty a qualified architect, as there might be all sorts of problems with a site the untrained eye cannot see.

This on the back of a homosexual packet approach  is unlikely to lead to a new stadium any time soon so we should be making contingency plans for BP.

I wondered, given the apparent lack of any clear plans, negotiations, land agreements, funding, development partners, architects etc  if Ollie was suprised by this,  as when he joined he mentioned the plans to move to a new stadium and wider "project"were part of his thinking for coming on board.
I just hope he hasnt been led on slightly as to how far we are down the road , as from the Forum it looks like we are still stuck in traffic trying to turn right out of Imperial Ave at the moment.

I hope the original poster never visits other grounds...running water is the least of your worries.

And with all due respect, I’ve been to wembley numerous times and on occasions even they’ve lacked soap and bog roll...

No point moaning though, there’s a thread that’s multiple pages on here about a new ground...don’t get excited that BP get anything like any improvements, one must remember we are throwing all our eggs and anything else we can find in to the new stadium....


Don't get excited about improvements to BP?

I would suggest nobody should get excited about a new ground either.

I was worried about that, and although I am labouring the point somewhat I have been left open mouthed re the lack of direction on the stadium issue the other night, bearing in mind it was going to be the number one question.

I am still harbouring hope that with Ollie on board, and on the board ,we might make some headway.  Unless there are things going on in the background I don't suppose he will be too impressed so far. There again  he is too astute to rely on information from the board without seeing specifics surely?

I often think any other club faced with these circumstances- a well loved and respected manager who joins the board and publicly states he wants to take us up the leagues and a regeneration project that the council want the stadium to be a major part of - would move heaven and earth to make visible progress.

Where is the urgency? Where is the detailed blueprint of how we get a new ground? Nice man though he is Mr Day just spoke in abstracts and even they were disappointing.

Like everyone else I am desperate for Ollie to succeed on the field and his legacy off it, but the club must get its act together.
