The problem is Vasty that we have far less time than you probably think. You know more than anyone the ins and outs of stadia. Belle Vue is hanging together on a thread. It is usually about this time of year we get a visit from the councils stadium safety officer. The last time he gave us a good going over was the crash barrier affair. If it wasn't for the magnificent work of Snowie and his helpers, that alone could have flattened the club. There is no way MC could be expected to dig into the clubs finances to pay out large sums of money to do remedial work to keep the old dump operating. I think you also know if you were given the task and really wanted to withdraw our safety certificate, or give us a list of demands that it would be impossible to finance. I am sure you would not have to look very hard at the place to identify numerous issues.


Manni would not have to sit about too long at all, Belle Vue left alone will quickly deteriorate and do the job for him as it will become unsustainable to operate.

I agree but Belly was over egging the pudding and I just don't see the point. Fact is he doesn't have planning permission so why say he does - doesn't matter how easily people think he might get it, it still isn't the truth at this moment. Thats what's bothering me it's a bit disrespectful to the posters on here most of whom are bright enough to get it without the exageration.

Safly not willing to pay full price we don’t. That was the discounted ticket game which wasn’t on sky. Our avarage attendance this year including away fans is 5,011, about 5% down on last season despite a couple of decent seasons. So maybe around 4K regulars is a better guess.

I would say that 4k is a spot on guess, with an extra few hundred on depending on the opposition.

Since when does anyone believe ought that comes out of The mouth of Box
