PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

I work in Trafford Park about 10 minutes walk from The Swamp and between the stadium and where I am there is - somewhat worryingly - a fair bit of unused land. There's also a huge chunk of land owned by them right opposite our works that is currently used for match-day parking. I think they could conceivably slap a new stadium on there and while that's being built they could keep playing at The Swamp. I suppose it all depends on how much they're prepared to spend but that would seem to be the most realistic and least disruptive option.

No but that's one piece of land the rags do own but Amazon have just signed a new lease to be on there for another two years, that bonded container port, the rail tracks and canal are big issues for them. I still think they will try a refurb.

As a proper socialist young fella (Thatcher was voted as Prime Minister on my 20th birthday) I was proper left wing, attended Rock against Racism rallies, Anti Nazi Lesgue against the National Front, wore the badges, loved the punk scene. However to complete the “lefty” persona reading the “Ragged Trousered Philanthropist” was essential.

That book has clear parallels with society today, not turning this into politics as there’s a thread for that but it’s a very good, informative story for anyone interested in history, especially the struggle the working class endured.

It would be good for sheik Mansour to buy it & build a piss boiling factory.

Cheers, I ended up sending it off last night. I enjoyed writing it too, either way someone has to read it and respond to me from the BBC.

It's that loss of parking that I struggle to see them dealing with, if they use the same site to build a new stadium whilst remaining at the scaffold. They are already lazy buggers who park everywhere around the stadium (peel Moat,is it?) causing chaos, before heading towards the M60/M56/M6 to get back to London.
They'd have to instigate some sort of park n ride to deal with the chaos, a specific club bus service from the suburbs... I wonder where that idea comes from...
But I can't see the concept of sharing personal space on a bus would go down well with the prawn sandwich brigade.
The logistics of safely marshalling 74000 supporters through a further reduced set of narrowed approaches, with a large adjoining section out of bounds as it's a massive building/storage site? We appear to be doing quite well with the work around our stadium, I suppose, but its a far more open area in general?

Unless the additional space (less stadium building+works), is capable of being a massive car park with walking access to the scaffold, it's difficult to see how the already cramped stadium can further deal with being squeezed?
