Southend New Ground

[Chicken Run]

According to local news this morning(although not sure why that would appear down here) Southend today awaite a planning decision on a new 20k stadium near their training facility, if they get the green light they hope to be ready for the 2009 season.

Makes you sick

 

[Rougvie]

Not really, cant imagine land in that shit hole being difficult to aquire coupled with it being a novelty that things are being built there rather than knocked down, should get it through pretty quickly.

Its all about location.

 

[Gully]

Yes it does, we are paying the price for not being in a location blessed with a seemingly unending choice of brown field sites on which to build a football stadium, or being surrounded by councils who see a new ground benefitting the community as a whole.

 

[Trigger]

Good luck to them.

It wouldnt be the albion if it was that easy...we'd be a fan of some scum outfit...be thankfull you live in the best city in uk.

Southend may get a new ground before us..but they have to live there...escort driving plastic cockneys

 

[Gully]

byf, you make a very good point, some of the places where they have built new football stadia...they might have been better investing the money in indoor toilets for the local population...

 

[Napper]

yeah , good luck to them , about same size club as us I'd say

 

[byf]

Well lots of teams...have new grounds rushed thorugh and kind of use the 3pm til 5pm as an asbo centre...

if were at an away game up north and you hear random beaping it will be the tags on there ankles being activated.

Sussex we love you!

saw plans for it a few months ago, looks nicer than falmer!

Bristol Rovers got their planning application approved for an 18,000 re-development of their current ground. Anyone who knows the ground will know this will give a lot of parking problems to the surrounding area. I live 5 mins round the corner and kept getting flyers about campaigning against the stadium. Didn't want to be seen as a NIMBY so I support it.

Their plans have only been knocking around for a year or two which makes you sick to the stomach. However, a different beast in that they aren't taking up any greenbelt area but just redeveloping what they have there.

Strange looking stadium...

 

[Gully]

Does look a bit strange doesn't it, they appear to have a long stand (bottom right hand corner) looking onto the car park, guess that is so you can keep an eye on the chavs trying to rob your radio!

Nestled, as root hall is, between the magnificence of Basildon and Burnham on crouch, they could announce they are planning to build the worlds tallest shit mountain and no-one would care.

Good luck to them.

Christ, if we're the same size as Southend we really have gone down the tubes!!! Our 'potential' (yes that word) outstrips them and then some imho.

Looks like it's leaking into the sea.

Apart from that, it looks quite good. Nice to see a bit of imagination going into a stadium design.

That is really rather groovy and it makes a nice change from the norm.

I want that one!

 

[saafend_seagull]
