...when we unveiled our new stadium plans?! Representatives from Venetian Sands flew over the site at Temple Marsh in a helicopter.

I drove by it this morning - pleased to say it is going well and will probably be ready for the start of next season.

Yes, I remember it clearly. Many happy an hour, the screech of the gulls, the cool autumn breezes off the river. What happened? Did they tear it down? Anyway. Time for my nap.

I can barely remember last week.

Has anyone got a full set of the glossy proposed new stadia booklets. They might be valuable collectors items when we are in the Premier League!

And I thought it was when Sgt Pepper taught the band to play.

2weeks time everything is fine

45,000 capacity ? Is that all ?

 

[markinkent]

If I drive along the Esplanade I often look at the bit of land and think what could have been. 45,000 ffs

Apparently it’s the fault of the roads not being sufficient to cope with the extra traffic down there!

Blimey, is it really 20 years? I'm sure I've still got that brochure somewhere...

There was the ‘Jewel in the Sand’ Path to the Premier League one. We also had the Share Prospectus. I think I’ve also got a brochure of the updated plans where the stands looked had the same roof as Yas Marina or Ashford’s Designer Outlet

I've still got the shares. My missus allowed me to throw away £200+ as a Christmas present.

I completed a GCSE technology design project based on that exact drawing! Copied it as well as my limited skills allowed me and got good marks for it.

What happened with the idea for the stadium up the Yoko Ono Way, adjacent and north of the railway line?

Still waiting for an uber rich benefactor who can plough in tens of millions but is not fussed about any controlling interest in the club.

Apparently, there was a massive row with developers as they couldn't agree whether it was half way up or half way down Yoko On.........

Oh f*** it ☹
