Wonder why the club didn't buy Nelson dock rather than Bramley Moore dock to build the stadium on. Maybe not big enough but if it was at least there be water on both the north and south ends with room for future expansion rather than having one side stuck up against the sewage plant

It wasn't for sale then - Peel needed mugs to take the worst site they had which partially obscures an eyesore from what now becomes more valuable development land.

BMD is a bigger site (you wouldn't have the Fan Plaza area with Nelson). Also the canal/boat route cuts in more at Nelson Dock than BMD further limiting its footprint.

That's not a canal boat route as such. Canal boats don't typically access Nelson Dock as it leads nowhere they come down the Stanley Locks then into Collingwood and Salisbury Docks before heading towards town.
