If Colchester went up?

[Leekbrookgull]

Were would they play ? Layer Road is to small.

 

[Captain Pugwash]

think someone said portman road, may be wrong though

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Yes, that was in the Times the other day. Portman Road is the plan, but most of the players are against it - they want to stay at the Layer Road fortress!

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Don't blame them.

 

[Zesh Rehman]

but they getting new stadium soon

[Kenhead]

Is there any rule saying that they can't play at layer road?

If its fine they should play there, but i thought there new ground would be ready by next year

All seater plus 6K minimum I believe.

Trouble is they have terraces.

I thought 6k was a league requiment and barnet are lucky to be let back in, but forgot about terraces tho

I seem to remember this debate when we went up to League 1 a few years back.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

When Fulham went up they had a couple of years at craven before they had to make it all seater, I assume the same would happen.

 

[Zesh Rehman]

they played at loftus road, not craven cottage

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I ment that they played there for two seasons BEFORE having to move out.

 

[saafend_seagull]

How would they allocate their tickets

 

[Tim]

How would they allocate their tickets

I believe you have a three year period to adhere to the rules.

Hence pre-redevelopment Craven Cottage in 2001-3.

There had also been instances of terraces temporarily, in the case of Bolton in '95/96, and Sunderland in '96/97, when the "all seater" requirement dated from 1994.
