Sorry, but it pointless talking about what we did in the past. We have now had over 25 years of abject failure and the trend is out there for all to see that clubs are expanding their stadiums and moving to newer and bigger stadiums. That is a fact and there is no getting away from it. We get...

Get want you are saying, Dave, but the Butts looks fraught with difficulties. You have the surrounding buildings recently built, you have the poor road access, you have the sunken pitch idea, you have Cov rugby not wanting a 25,000 seater stadium and you have the resident opposition that will...

So you want us to build two stadiums? Brilliant!! Where's all the money coming for this then? If the Butts was ready now as a 15,000 seater stadium then I would say fine, let's go there, but we are talking tens of millions and at least two years to even get to the stage of 15,000. Would you...

I think they are saying 15,000 because one, it would suit Cov Rugby best and two, because space is very tight.

I think the bottom line, Dave is, people are saying let's not build a League One stadium that's going to be stuck in League One. 15,000 is fine for us now, but if we are to build a new stadium we need to look to build for a long term future.

Yep, exactly where I am too. Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

The man's an idiot. He talked of 12 to 15,000 for a new stadium, but then also thought we could well get 7,000 at Sixfields. In this whole sorry ongoing saga that last statement is right up there with the most ridiculous ever to come out of anybody's mouth.

I wish they would. Be fantastic if we could get 15,000 plus every home game.

Yep, agree with that. Sharing with Cov Rugby is an infinitely better scenario than sharing with Wasps.

Yeah, but next season also isn't the next 3 years. :)

I understand what you are saying Nick, but we had a dreadful slump to our season and yet still only finished 5 points outside the play-off places. If we were to go up then with that can come great momentum. Talking of reality is great, but it is not in fact unrealistic to believe we could be in...

Well that's a very fair point about how long it will take to build. If we are building a 15,000 seater stadium and it takes 3 years to complete and by then we are pushing near the top of the Championship, then the project is all going to look rather silly. I too think the 25,000 is not...

Blinded by anti-Waspism I think he means.

I think it's 'you're' an idiot isn't it? ;)

I get an after midnight Gremlin who is controlling two glove puppets.

Really? Sounds like very short term and blinkered thinking that. So you would be prepared for tens and tens of millions to be shelled out on something that may not be fit for purpose in 10 years? We need to be looking at securing our long term future, not panicking into jumping into something...

Let's get there sharpish then!

Does seem to be stuff of fantasy. It could expand to 25,000, but CRC don't want that and you can only surmise that if it was 25,000 there would be no room for any add-ons. Aslo you have to factor in the cost invloved with a sunken pitch. That will surely add millions to the project. My main...

He would probably delay his decision by 15 minutes.

Because of our witty banter and cynacism.
