Ground Redevelopment continued

[IlfordEagle]

The only "stakeholders" the club are interested in are the 20/20 boozehounds.

which is a shame as the best T20 game in the last few years, for atmosphere et al, was the Sussex game which was played on a Sunday afternoon.

Absolutely spot on, great weather,great game, a capacity crowd very much family orientated & a really friendly & relaxed atmosphere, what a pity we haven't had a Sunday T20 since then!!

Yes footbridge across the river definite - important part of the plans not only to link two parts of the town but also provide access to the ground and to the year round retail outlets

Mr Bowden couldn't give precise figure on the ground capacity except that it would be more than it  is now

What insight from DB! He's a real inspiration, isn't he!?
In summation, after circa eight years, he can categorically state the capacity of the proposed ground redevelopment will greater than at present.

Be fair he's got important stuff to worry about.

Like booking a holiday during the cricket season.

Read my lips ... ground...capacity...is ... not ...a ... significant... factor...in...this...project.

Now repeat 10 times.

[quincy]

Is there still going to be a foot bridge from central park?

Yes.

Connection to the City Centre was one of  the main points of the scheme.

can I ask what information you have to be certain of that quincy ?

Cos otherwise yer cant access the ground from City Centre on foot. The underpass is to be an emergency exit from river end flats.

All this was in the original plan and hasn't been altered AFAIK.

[Valentines Park]

The original plan is so old I'm surprised it's not on parchment.

Not that old, although Goochie did have (has own) hair at the time
