Toni, dont u realise. Its all about time. There are loads of places, but how long will it take to get planning permission, roads, NYMByS, the nature police. The whole point with ferny fields was the traffic, hence why TTA had a clause to purchase the land if no problems came up, and guess what, there were problems. This site has obviously been earmarked by the council and will be fast tracked ready to build. Everyone including the fans, the council, TTA are fed up of hurdles, my hunch is there will be none with this site, as I would think there is a benifit to Oldham Council (AT BP) just a hunch!!! . So lets just get behind it and stop moaning! 3.7 miles - Is that too much to ask????? Its still in the Oldham Borough!!!!! Move on.
