Quote: wrencat1873 "I agree that being relatively close to the town centre, the site could make excellent use of public transport, especially Westgate Station but, can you possibly imagine 2/3000 cars, on top of local traffic trying to get in/ out of the area.
Its an absolute non starter and unless your going to knock down half of Peacock Estate, just where are you putting a RL ground with the amenities necessary to service the ground, it's not possible.
As I said, possible community facilities and this would require a decent amount of work but new stadium no way.
Out of interest, what did you have in mind for compulsory purchase and if main access to the site is down Silcoates Street, it would make getting in and our of The AJ Bell look easy ??'"
Spot on.
For the umpteenth time the sight is not viable for a myriad of reason but the main one is the access. Obviously pretty much any site in the world could be made possible for anything if you want should you want to spend many millions buying up land and flatterning everything. Not going to happen though is it. Put this one to bed and move on, it’s just wasting everyones time and focus. The only real option left on the table is a Belle Vue revamp because it’s time to accept once and for all Newmarket will never happen either. We just need to somehow squeeze some cash out of Yorkcourt which is the hardest part of all.
