Well said, Wingy. :)

Yep, fine for a team on a spiral of decline. You have to think in terms of what the attendances would be if we were successful. Or are we just assuming we never will be and will just float endlessly around midtable on League One? We have been in perpetual decline. We do well on the pitch you...

Yeah, 11 years of dismal failure. Success will boost attendances dramatically.

Apparently so. No idea where that came from. Never seen him, though a quick Google did have me recognising his face. Mind control perhaps?

Well yep, Dave, at the moment, but just one promotion and we would be in the Championship. We can easily get 15,000 in League One against a few sides if we are the right end of the table. In the Championship we would easily surpass 15,000 against Newcastle, Forest, Villa, Birmingham, Derby...

I've heard of Derek Acorah, but have no idea who he is or what he does. At the back of my mind I am thinking sort sort of spiritual healer. Is that even close?

Because that is what would be needed if and when we got to the Premier. Top of my head, as it stands now in terms of teams in the Premier, we would get 25,000 or very, very close to it against Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Leicester, Spurs and Arsenal. Reckon we would get 20,000 against...

There was also mention of the new Wimbledon stadium on here the last couple of days Just looked and that is 12.6 acres, as opposed to the Butts' 8 acres.

Just looked back to September 2015 and the minutes of the meeting between Fisher and Rugby borough council. Fisher states there that the club need 60 acres, though it could be split over 2 30 acre sites. So we need 60 acres, but the Butts is 8 acres. Definitely going to work. Unless of...

Looking at the CT it says the Butts is an 8 acre site. How many acres did Fisher say it was that they needed? And didn't he want the academy there at the new ground too? And how many acres did he say was needed for that?

I was thinking it might be better coming from Brian Blessed. I wonder how much he would charge. No doubt it would be an ernormmmmmmmmous amount.

I saw them just as Hometown Unicorn came out as a single, so way back when.

I just noticed that Albert Einstein is in that picture. Is that because he was the brains behind the project?

And we could be non league by then.

Errm, not sticking up for her, but wasn't she the leader of the council and would be expected to be there to cut the tape? Also, could I just ask, was she leader when the scheme was first mooted? I would guess not as these things are years in the making aren't they.

Good point. Be interested to know where this covenant originated from and why.

Nice one! :)

Not yesterday, but so, so often.

Exactly. Sorry, but the stadium being there since 1880 just doesn't wash. No one would have ever envisaged a 25,000 seater stadium at the Butts. And it has been made perfectly clear even by Cov themselves that they don't want a 25,000 seater stadium there and it would be far too big for...

People occupying your seat on a train. Would say at least 9 times out of 10, over a period of many years, I have reserved seats only to find someone occupying them. You get the odd 'Sorry,' but like today, going to Manchester, people give you the usual look of 'how annoying' when you politely...
