shambles

Spireite in peace. We're sort of aiming for a 7k average attendance this season, so after the largely miniscule away followings of the last couple of seasons, we're pleased to see some decent support in the North Stand. Well done on your team's performance on the pitch today and the volume off it.

Hi - Spireite in peace. Love reading the opinions of other fans re the b2net and i hope you enjoyed your visit. By and large your opinions expressed on this thread reflect those we've picked up on to date - some like it, some don't. Personally speaking, and whilst it's not Saltergate, i love the place. Obviously last season's success on the pitch meant that we already have some great memories shaped in our new ground and the atmosphere has been better than in any of the last few seasons at the old ground. Most importantly it definitely now has become 'home'. Not sure how much you'll have to spend on your new place, but £13m is the figure spent on our gaff, which doesn't include land purchase as we managed to get that for nothing as we had the Council in tune with the club's desire to find a new site. A more original and less uniform design would have been my preference, but if we couldn't afford that, it was never going to happen and i'm pleased the club have been realistic in their ambitions. I think we ended up with something which was a good enough size for us, in a great location (near pubs! ), with about as good a design as we could have got for the money we had. Very few Spireites are disappointed with what we have ended up with. Seriously hope you can get your ground issues sorted. Having been to Boundary Park many times i know it has seen better days but hopefully matters will improve soon. I admit i'm not familiar with the problems you are facing, other than you have had some sites in mind away from BP which have fallen through, but if it's of any consolation our ground move was first mooted around 1990, and we had more false starts than i care to remember, at least one of which actually worked in our favour. Good things come to those who wait!
