ground idea vote

[Robert Jarvis]

It would be large enough to build a pretty big stadium though - money comes into it though, even if the council did just give away the land, the club would just turn around and say they can't afford to build a stadium on it's own anyway.[/QUOTE]

I have been saying that for ages and that is why Kirkby though not ideal is the only real prospect we have of a new stadium.

AS for LCC and EFC, they could have talked more together, a move after all has been on the cards for some time now. I wonder however if BK was holding out for Kirkby because he is matey with Leahy who may have indicated possibilities to BK for discreet financial backing like building the ground.

This is just a quick image to roughly get an idea exactly how big, even just half, of Walton Hall Park is (placed Goodison Park inside );

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Exactly, but damn it where has the boating lake gone?

They drained it years ago (I walked passed one day and way like "[Poor language removed] where's the water gone? ). Totally out of the blue, unless I just wasnt paying attention

Every sunday I was at Walton Park as a boy. Use to eat sunday lunch at my Uncle Dennis's on Ireton street

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Wow, I used to go in there now and again with me Da' when we visited me Gran in Rymer Grove and me Uncle Stan in Eton Street.

Happy carefree days those. Great memories.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

You can say that again, the days of Young and Vernon for me.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Absolutely and the emergence of the holy trinity. Dodging the Ribble buses on game day.

Id be happy with it in Walton Hall Park.

But happy with it in Kirkby too. The outside the city argument is a joke though.

Test it by calling Alan Stubbs a wool....

I like to stay on the sidelines on the city issue. But any benefit to the club with a small outlay of cash has to be studied. This really just seems to good to be true. What am I missing?
