Moving away from Altrincham would be catastrophic.

Oh I agree & you see the lessons of history when Runcorn left Canal St & Northwich left their original Drill Field town centre home. There’s no doubt though that Moss Lane needs serious work doing so imagine before we commit to spending millions on the place that if there is anywhere else suitable in the town (I doubt it) then we’d at least be considering that.

I'm another to agree  hopefully bit by bit Moss Lane can be redeveoped with the Pop Side being a priority. The Golf Road and Chequers can wait but hopefully remain standing .

With land within the town pretty much impossible to source and house prices so high I guess the nearest we'd find for the Euromillions new stadium would be Broadheath? Always thought the Cartwright's site would have a decent footprint but now being developed. Other than that we're hemmed in by green belt. In the future the proposed and controversial Timperley Wedge development might present a site?

Let's buy the allotment from Trafford MBC and flip the pitch - that'll make us popular!

Make Golf Road the 'front door' and main stand with the extra room we get, housing players / hospitality etc - would have to be a hard stop at the mast, but the fan zone could be tucked away where the stand has to finish (i.e. it wouldn't go all the way down the pitch).

The new 'Golf Road End' can be the end that's currently in the allotments, with the away fans on the 'Chequers End' which is now running down the side, thus losing competitive advantage. Again this wouldn't quite run from end to end if we have to avoid that annoying sub station - but at least the ground retains some character.

Main Stand and Family Terrace can stay as they are, albeit now behind a goal. The CSH would end up outside the pitch perimeter, but that doesn't matter.

If we turn the pitch, build over the allotments and put up new stands, terraces and fan zones, does that mean the remains of that dead goat will lie outside the new ground?

There's been nothing from the club so far to suggest anything other than a re-development of ML . I believe that to be their only option tbh. The 'new stadium' looks great doesn't it , however unless someone comes in and sprinkles gold dust it's one for the dreamers.  Agree entirely that the pop side , Golf Road and chequers all need an overhaul , new stands at the first two with the popside either part or fully seated with the Golf and Chequers staying terraced , with the latter extended near to the corner .  The main stand side is problematical isn't it with the club offices etc , CSH and the sponsers lounge . Good luck with that ! at least that side of the ground doesn't look an eyesore like the rest . More immedietely how about some more bloody toilets ffs.

Perhaps we could install commode chairs in the main stand.

Room for toilets between the main stand and sponsors stand?

I just meant, the fact so many are discussing a move, suggested something. Agree re. toilets. the customer experience needs reviewing.
