Out of sight running track ?

Good, but where's the football pitch?

I think he'd do quite well at the Linford Christie stadium...

[Hubble]

Said it before, but I think this would be a good place to relocate, I hope it happens.

would be a perfect place for us to move too and its looking very positive so far

Not if there is a running track round the pitch

[Bill]

Deja vu

i think the plan is to build 2 stadiums on the site, one for us and one for them and the community. i'd love it if (assuming this goes ahead) if our new stadium is like a modern loftus road and not a soulless bowl although i hope we get more leg room in the new stadium as loftus road seating was designed with dwarfs in mind

2 stadiums in one area?? Sounds optimistic doubt then could be used at the same time though based on the getting in and out safely.

Sounds a bit daft to me. Why would you go the trouble of building 2 structures? You'd make 1 multi purpose stadium, wouldn't you? But then again, what do I know about stadium design?!!

Like the location though, would be ideal if we could secure that plot of land!

west hams stadium is multipurpose and their games are absolutely dead, you'd be better off watching the game from your tv as the distance between the seats and the pitch is ridiculous and i think that we don't wanna go down that route of the atmosphere being ruined, plus thames valley harriers want their own smaller stadium that can be used by the community around the ground and be a designated sports facility. it's tvh's land at the end of the day and they have no money to restore their current stadium or upgrade it so the best option for both parties is the one that we're suggesting to them, they seem pretty keen on the idea along with the community. it's a win win for all involved though and if there's enough land to build a football stadium and sports track then why the hell not

We are funding the project with some help from the council. We will prioritize our stadium and we've made a statement to say we won't have a running track if we can build on this land. Atmosphere is respected by our owners and it's only a small running club, they will only need a 400m track with very small stands. Its not going to be athletics for the international stage
