dazlatic Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 you serious rochdale have a oldham post code you think they're arsed ! still closer to oldham than manchester and ashton ! I heard C*a*ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 +1 That would make us Hollinwood Athletic. Closer to Ashton AND Manchester. NOOOOOOO. NEVER!!! Closer than Failsworth? Really? For Christ's sake, it's the club we support, not the soddin' post code. Why shouldn't we ground share if a new stadium is on the way? In the past, Bristol Rovers spent years playing at Bath City until they got back into Bristol. Wimbledon did it until some arsewipe decided they would be better off 60 miles away and sod the supporters. At least that won't happen again, thank God. Look at Rovrum & Brighton. It's not unusual, is it? How many fans do you think Brighton will lose by moving to Falmer? Hollinwood is not on another planet (if that's what is being planned), so I'm afraid I just don't understand why anyone would consider deserting the club because the ground isn't quite where THEY want it. Where do you want it? At the top of West Street so it's smack in the town centre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to catch a different bus when I get to Manchester. Maybe I'll desert the club after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shefflatic Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 the only large scale land in hollinwood i am aware of is round the motorway/where the old roxy used to be? Hollinwood is OL8 for anyone sad enough to care about the postcode, 10mins drive from our current location - aside from clayton playing fields and ferney fields you cant get much closer to our current site than that.

HOLLINWOOD BOLW BRING IT ON! That land would be nowhere near big enough for a ground. Looking at it now it's amazing they fitted a cinema there. If it is indeed Hollinwood then I've no idea where they are planning to build it unless It's Chapel Road. Hope it is in Hollinwood it would be perfect for me.

Hope it is in Hollinwood it would be perfect for me. dont forget when the roxy was built,it had a massive carpark ay yhe side and back of it,and then mills,the road layout was very different to what it is now.... is the gas works big enough??? could it be wickentree lane where ferranti used to be... could it be further up where rose tissues and those other industrial units are???? could it be behind morrisons between railway and canal..... the answers are out there.... direct link to motorways,buses,trains....perfect...

OK..so try standing on the old gas works site. If we forget Hotels etc. etc. et TTA take the money from selling The Lancaster Club site and that bit of BP they have sold and with the rest rebuild slowly somewhere else.

Gaz_Oafc Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Found this doing a quick search to find the size of the gas works site. Title: Re: Hollinwood Gas Works Lancashire Post by: Radlad on Friday 17 July 09 20:26 UTC (UK) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hollinwood is still in use by The National grid as a Governor Station to reduce the pressure from the national distribution system , to a level suitable for local use. It is also a base for some of the district workers . Still in use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The land is now apparently contaminated and will take millions to put right before anything can be built on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
