spyinthesky Posted 12 March, 2010 Posted 12 March, 2010 Listening to BBC Local News at lunchtime there was a piece about NC being 'disappointed' that the allocated expenditure on the team had not resulted in a play off position, as agreed as a target with Alan Pardew. However there was 'no rift' between NC & AP. The piece then finished with a comment about the possibility of Saints moving from their 'State of the Art' stadium to a bigger ground. The BBC don't normally make such a comment without some degree of justification but this really came out of thin air. Wonder if there is anything in it and, in the unlikely event of there being something in it, where would the new ground be? Stoneham anyone or part of the old Eastleigh railway works owned by St Mogwen ?
buctootim Posted 12 March, 2010 Posted 12 March, 2010 I cant ever see Saints regularly filling a ground bigger than 40,000 - and you could increase SMS to that capacity. What would the benefits of moving be? .

What would the benefits of moving be? . if we were say...in the position spurs, villa and citeh are in..then yes, we would fill 40-oddk every week... as for a new stadium..it would be an expensive investment to have "more facilities" around it...
Hatch Posted 12 March, 2010 Posted 12 March, 2010 It should be a massive hotel / retail/ residential building smack in the middle of town, with the stadium on top. Like Monaco, but 5 times bigger.
Micky Posted 12 March, 2010 Posted 12 March, 2010 Perhaps, not too far away, he has just found a buyer for our 'old' stadium.

Micky Posted 12 March, 2010 Posted 12 March, 2010 eh..? Well if he built us a new one, I know somebody that would probably be interested in a second hand nice shiny stadium...!
Crab Lungs Posted 12 March, 2010 Posted 12 March, 2010 Well if he built us a new one, I know somebody that would probably be interested in a second hand nice shiny stadium...! Well, we'll have to remove 15,000 of the seats so they can play at 'full capacity' every match
St Chalet Posted 12 March, 2010 Posted 12 March, 2010 Potentially the first ever thread to be moved from The Lounge to the Main Board! IMHO, nice to see the club has ambition.
St Landrew Posted 14 March, 2010 Posted 14 March, 2010 Potentially the first ever thread to be moved from The Lounge to the Main Board! IMHO, nice to see the club has ambition. You're right there. Such a shame that there is a thread already on the main board which covers this subject. Otherwise, we'd have a first.
