I went to Plough Lane a few times in the 80s. Not the best of grounds it has to be said.

You could make it a permanent move. ACL are looking for a new "sports franchise".

No. Because it's caused us nothing but grief. A soulless bowl. Still wish we were back there though.

The dimensions of the goal should have been twice as wide and twice as high.

Today for the first time since 30th April 2005 I went to where HR was and showed my son. Made me really sad. The Ricoh should never have been built in the first place.

Olympics will never happen again. When was the last U21 game? It's an empty FOOTBALL stadium so really they need to attract football (and rugby) events.

Only after idiot Richardson sold it and then had to rent it back.

You're on a forum don't forget, you're not writing a brochure for the Ricoh. Anyway, ACL/CCCs rental model from flawed from the outset and it's no surprise we are where we are. And yes, the club were stupid to sign it. But like I said, what choice was there? Wimpey had already bought HR...

Keep your map handy.

I do agree. And again I've said many times that withdrawing rental payments was wrong.

December 2005. Rent was a problem. Club approached ACL.

Richardson had already sold HR to Wimpey. We had no ground, we were homeless. What else could our club do?

I could understand using "we" for the Club, but for ACL?

When does a "nice profit" for the landlord become unaffordable for the tenant?

IT took you six hours.
