Not at less than half the capacity and less games being played. Just a shame an opportunity for genuine regeneration for that part of the city has been shelved.

I mean this is obviously a PSR dodge and will presumably be gone within a few years. If not then it is an incredibly stupid decision. We don’t fill half the existing stadium for gods sake.

I’d love it not to be the case, but I fear a lot of businesses around GP will be gone this time next year.

Let’s face it. The new owners newly in the door didn’t have time to put a legacy project together so have fudged it by “giving it to the women’s team”. This is completely inappropriate. The crowds no where near enough to fill the stadium at the...

In all seriousness, I would imagine that the previous plans would have been more beneficial to local businesses than this will.

Not many of them will survive if they’re relying on income generated from women’s match’s. Certainly not in the short term at least.

I think people have a different perception of American business people than me. This is just cheaper than the regeneration which is why it’s happening. Great for the women’s game and all that but it’s a financial decision and nothing more than...

That is my gut feeling on it.

I don’t know what to make of this. Presumably the stadium will be subject to some radical changes over the next few years - since WSL games will never fill it and lots of it is really old and shabby.

Yeah i agree. Community hub and other planed facilities would have been ideal for the local area. If they incorporate those services into a redeveloped GP then great, but I won’t hold my breath.

Would it not have been better to have the community hub for the local area?

I don’t know your circumstances or what has made you fall out, from the sounds of things you’ve tried to fix things. But why not try again, my grandad always said don’t let the sun go down on an argument because tomorrow you just never know. I...

Without going into too many personal details, I'm dreading Sunday. My dad took me to my first game against Wimbledon (yes, that game!!) and we've gone the match together ever since. Best mates and thick as thieves. Unfortunately, in September...

Found one of dads old season tickets in a desk-drawer at work today. I dunno how it wound up in my desk. Really strange how it materialised from nowhere. I was looking for something stupid like a stapler or something and this appeared. In...

Fair play if you can do that mate, I won’t be able to and will likely be a gibbering wreck. I’ll wanna stay a little while and just say my goodbye to the place and the people who made me who I am today who I’ve lost over the years, as many of...
