But honestly lads, I thought we pretty much had the docks wrapped up?

@The Esk said so.

"For me, the elephant in the room is the waterfront site. But, as somebody said, it’s a complex issue. The challenge with WHP, we wanted a site that could be regenerated. But there were all kinds of issues. But believe you and me, we tried. Everybody is working extremely hard to get the one we all want. On Friday, we announced £20m for a road directly into the dock site. The reality is, there is a railway station being built there. This is the most exciting opportunity this club has had in decades."

why , after 8 or so months are we no clearer on a site, let alone a stadium announcement.

we either go all in for the docks or stop wasting everyones time and find somewhere else.

Hmmmm, think that's kinda what's happenin' tbh mate.

our shirt sponsorship is going up 300% because we, as with every other prem club, can sell sponsorship on the sleeves next season. so itss not as big as it sounds, everyother club will benefit by the same.

Yes mate but were ahead of the field our new shirts next season will have 15 foot long sleeves

It's a fair point. No need to insult him.

A true Eskimo in action here.

Frank Gallagher · January 4, 2017

tonight has definatly proven, the whole stadium issue is completly up in the air.

we should defo not cling on to the thought of going to bramley moore.

it looks to me like it is proving very very difficult to pull off for whatever reason. i would say funding being the main one.

why cant they just say that the docks is ours ffs

murphy89 · January 4, 2017

Jesus Christ. The club and joe Anderson have confirmed that the Docks is our PLAN A, PREFERRED OPTION! Building a stadium at waterfront site with limited transport access on land which is owned by a development company is always going to be difficult. The club is sensible to have a plan B and it gives us more bargaining power with Peel.
