Ground share? : Mon May 01, 2023 6:33 pm  

With Warrington Town gaining promotion, is is worth going the way of Hull, Wigan, Leigh? and Hudds and sharing our stadium with them, for an agreeable fee of course.
They will have some tasty fixtures and realistically, Cantilever park is inadequate.
Obviously it brings up the problem of wear to the pitch surface.
Would there be the same level of animosity between the two sides as exists in Wigan.

Happy for their victory but stadium sharing no thankyou.

Re: Ground share? : Mon May 01, 2023 6:40 pm  

The ground holds 2500. That looks enough for the level they're going to be playing at. Can't see them getting more than 1500-2000, even for the bigger games.

This again?

No

Let them play at Wilderspool.

As Moe said, Cantilever Park is just about good enough for the level they'll be playing at. They had an average attendance of just over 800 this season. That'll obviously increase but not by enough to make the ground unfeasible and if they got promoted again, they'd probably have the funds to make some improvements. I don't see the point.

If it ever looks like being mutually beneficial then I'm OK with it, but at the minute it would only really benefit the football club IMO.

What would Warrington Sports Holdings get out of the deal? With an average attendance of 800 people I cant see this generating any worthwhile revenue in any case.

Liverpool Reserves absolutely killed the pitch when they had regular matches so there would be no chance of regular matches.

If they knew for sure that they will get a massive attendance then maybe a deal would be done for the odd match.

For short term they have enough room to make some stadium improvements. If they do have any further promotions though they might need to look at a move, possibly Victoria Park.
