Middlesbrough built a new ground by the docks but its a bit dull and surrounded by industrial unit still after over 20 years.
I went to Bolton for a mid week game, Felliani scored a late winner, and a lad I got talking to before the game said a good few supporters stopped going when they moved out of the town as they felt it was the wrong thing to do. We were talking about going to Kirby around that time.
We have it right with the waterfront location, staying in the city, and if the surrounding area gets developed with lots of ale houses and places to eat, we will be onto a winner.
I think you need to take what that Bolton fan said with a pinch of salt mate, Boltons crowds since moving are bigger than ever really, in average.
It didn't move out of town, but just to another part of town, where other large Bolton areas can now access their team better.
The ones that are unhappy, and the ones that loved closer to Burnden Park - or ar e just more old skool who prefer to stand, and to urinate in outdoor bogs.
It has its faults like any ground, but that retail park is the biggest in europe (or maybe the UK) - And ist great for the town, its full all the time - Its moved killed the town centre as a result, so maybe some bitterness in that respect form Town Centre folk.
