I think the fact that we've achieved a 30% increase in attendances this season would suggest that Mr Glover is working to a much-improved marketing strategy; a few decent signings, real progress on the stadium and a continuation of the good work he's already doing should see us taking 10k to Newmarket without too many problems.

There's a lot to happen between now and then, but your prophecies of doom are misplaced and unwelcome.

While i agree largely with what you've said bren, if our STs were still "normally" priced our gates wouldn't look quite so impressive.
We really have got to get the mix right, that is the reality.
Anyway back on track WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!

I can see my ' reality check ' posts are causing a little upset and bad feeling , that isnt my intention , I like Wakey as a club and your fans , and I'll miss belle Vue when its gone , so as not to be a ' party pooper ' I'll leave it there

No need. However we got the point first time - no illusions for us I can assure you.

What is for sure is the only other alternative simply wasn't an alternative.

Good man!

Well done to Wakey fans for keeping the faith through difficult times!

How big is the stadium going to be?
Please say it won't be all-seater!
What's the plan for when it'll be ready?

Without wanting to cause a mutual b1tch-fest, what's the likelihood of it ending up being a ground share with Cas?

Was there an alternative? As I understood it, you would not have been given a licence next time round if you were still at BV. Anyway as I said earlier I'm delighted that you've got the good news you've all been waiting for. I sha'nt forgive you for turning us over the other week, but its a sign of how far you've come, both on and off the field. Good luck and ignore Starbug (he's just bitter).

That was the alternative!!

1. 12k, but I think that can be improved with corners, like Wire I believe.
2. It won't.
3. Sir Rodders has said that we should start the 2015 season in it, but he hopes for it to be ready even sooner.

As for Cas sharing it - it's a Community Stadium, so I imagine they'd be more than welcome.
