What never ceases to amaze is how the Fishy turns tail on these things.  

Can we not remember the heated debates on here about the pros and cons of the Parkway, the Nimby arguments and the belittling of people who went to the trouble of finding out what a bunch of shysters this company was? I haven't looked back at the threads and have no intention of, but I bet polls on the subject favoured the Parkway, these developers and those thousands of houses that needed planning permission.

Quoted from promotion plaice

I never could work it out, looks like there's a roof above a roof, strange.



Yeah, that's exactly what appears to be going on. You've got what looks like a kind of single-tiered New Den, with a totally unnecessary Reebok-type roof stuck on top. Ah well, it (or a severely watered down version of it) was never going to get built anyway.

Good god. The amount of wasted time, energy and money this club has spent on futile bollox is staggering, and nothing ever comes off.

The playing side almost feels like a sideshow.

I'm actually extremely (see what I did) glad that they never got this built. Can you imagine just how shit a stadium built by these mooks and John Fenty would have been? Fenty has the opposite of a Midas touch.

I have said it before, as my old nan used to say “either excrement or get off the pot”.

We have been in a constant rinse and repeat situation in regards to building a new ground for 15 years. I think it is time to face the facts, The current leadership of the club cannot deliver the club a new stadium. Paragraph it can’t even deliver us a team worth supporting. I would hate to be the regime and that’s all the club get knocked out of the football league twice in its proud history ..
