joseph 0 Posted October 7, 2013 hey guys, just had an idea about the stadium and thought i''d share it with you.how about that we sell off the stadium, i calculate that we will at least get a good £55M from it, and relocate? that way the money will come rolling in AND attendance will increase. with the money we can buy a patch of land not too far from the city centre, I suggest personally eaton park. Not too far from the city and buying the rights from the council cant cost too much. set up shop there and using the money from the sale of FCR to build a bigger stadium.I also think that if we run into some money problems, no biggie. we can get our resident celebrity fan bail us out. how about hugh jackman giving us a couple of million? or stephan fry from the hobbit movie?better yet, vote labour in for 2015 and get ed balls to (discreertly of course) divert taxpayers money into NCFC accounts.im just a rookie of course and i hope you guys can come with some more ideas for me :) . really think theres something in this and may email mcnally at a later date.

Shaun Tilly Lace 0 Posted October 8, 2013 This bit of "blue sky" thinking is so good that I''m sure the OP must be a member of our wonderful coalition government. It''s nearly as inspired as Reggie Perrin, on being told by his secretary Joan that CJ needed the new sales target area for Sunshine Desserts almost immediately, grabbed her handbag and placed it randomly on the map, and drew a handbag shaped line round it for the new sales target area.

Number 9 0 Posted October 9, 2013 Sadly, you have all missed the obvious benefits of the Eaton Park plan.The steam railway could be utilized round the new ground, delivery service for the fine pies, also think how good it could be with the bandstand in the centre circle playing old wartime ditties to keep the River End awake.

norfolkchance1 0 Posted October 9, 2013 Is there anything in the rules to stop us pilling up a lot of soil and building this new ground really high up at altitude so that we get the same sort of advantage that playing in Quito in Ecuador or La Paz in Bolivia would give us by regularly playing at that height. In the long term it may lead to quite a bit of success although some people may have a few views on a loss of sunlight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
