Polls on new stadium

[singe]

I had to..!

 

Obviously it is going to be interesting to if the plans have gained support.

 

In doing the poll, I realised it was going to be tricky to split support for the phase 2 with 16,000 seats with horseshoe shape and the Phase 1 plans for with 12,000 seats and no ends filled in.

Lets be honest we all want the ends filled in.

So for the poll, lets assume the TTA can get the finances for the ends to be filled in as AH has already said some people are intersted.

It must not be forgoteen that the ability of TTA to deliver the plans is still dependant on the Council.

I like the plans, or at least the artist's impressions currently on show. I just wish that main stand was being built on the Broadway side of Boundary Park.

[LaticsLee]

it will go ahead..... i hope

How about an option to say that we hate having to leave BP, or go to Failsworth, that nothing about OAFC at the moment is how we would choose it to be, but this is what we've got for the future of the club, so we go with it, or we die?

 

Or is that a tad long for a poll option?

 

 

[LaticsLee]

the question mainly is, would latics fans prefer to watch poor football in a terrible stadium or move to failsworth and start a new begining ?

Very Derren Brown-esque.

 

You're suggesting that moving to Failsworth is a guarantee that we'll become good.

That's why I got to the questions I did!

I think it is a given that everyone would prefer we stay. That would be 100%. Even the most ardent anti-Failsworthonianites would concede that we don't have any other options as far as we can see on the horizon.

Anyone who things that we can still afford to develop BP has their head in the sand.

I still have my Ken Bates 1970's dream design for a new stadium.. too many false dawns and this is no different. We are in the hands of John Arnold on this one.

no but im saying people would rather watch poor football in a nice stadium than poor football in a poor stadium

Interesting how the results of the polls so far indicate a very favourable response to the whole thing. Looks like there is a silent majority who read this board and contribute to polls but are not as "vocal" on the board in their support of the plans as those who view the plans negatively.

Does the lack of a tram bother anyone?

£500k for the stop is a not starter, obviously, but does that affect anything?

I suppose it might affect the attendances, but you would hope not too much.

 

I wonder if the club will consider laying on transport a la Charlton.

They lay on a coach deep into Kent in the Medway Towns, not sure where else bet defaintely there.

A purpose built stop is ideal, but the other two remain a 5 minute walk, tops.

Less than scientific, but a good indicator.

If a newsagent will tell you, ask how many Chrons and how many Manc Evening News they sell

That should give an indication of what allegienace they feel.

No, but it give's the club a fighting chance at survival.

If it has a positive effect on attendance and finances, then maybe we can cobble a decent team together in the not too distant future.

 

It's called 'Synergy' and I think it's our only available option.

That tells you nowt. They are both crap but the M.E.N. is better crap, given a choice most people would rather read the M.E.N.

By that token it's very much Oldham, as the most predominant newspaper in the area is the Oldham Advertiser.

5 minutes from Dean Lane to the [new] ground. Who are you, the Terminator?

[LaticsLee]

i was thinking along the lines of new begining at the new stadium, maybe if we could show ambition we could attract better players to come to use to start to push up the league ladder.

[Ackey]

5 minutes from Dean Lane to the [new] ground. Who are you, the Terminator?

If they were to build a footpath, entirely feasible, between Dean Street and Broadway and then incorporate a pelican crossing into the proposed right-lane filter then you're looking at 5-6 minutes at a brisk walk (admittedly I do walk quickly) or 10 minutes at a steady pace.

 

Either way a very acceptable distance. Comparable to the distance I walked from the bus stop to BP many, many times coming up from Manchester.

And assuming the 81/82/24 are still running the same route,they stop practically outside. It'll be a fair bit easier to get to on public transport than BP for a lot of people.

[singe]

As I said it's not scientific, but an indicator nonetheless.

Obviously I tend to agree wit the level of crapness, and I still want the Chron to sort itself out.

Generalisation but an person feeling themselves to be Manc, is really not going to be bothered to even look at an Oldham paper, though an Oldhamer is more likely to buy the MEN.

So, and indicator I would say.

just 181/182 now.

24 goes a different route.

The 81/2/4 all stop on Oldham Rd at the base of Broadway too. You're looking at a half dozen buses.

Yup the 24 no longer stops outside the TA. Instead of going straight down oldham road and turning at morrisons onto broadway, it now turns off at dean lane, and follows st marys road/nuthurst road, then turns onto broadway
