Just for the record I'm 65. I think there is a balance. There are a lot of loyal fans and I think there are others who think that moss lane isn't somewhere they want to spend their Saturday afternoons. To be controversial it's a bit likeThe Railway.ived In alty for 40 years and never had a pint in there

By far the worst 'out of town' new build stadium I have been to is the one at Chester.  Situated at the far end of an industrial estate by a sewage treatment plant it is several miles away away from the centre of town and could be mistaken for a group of poorly constructed farm buildings from the outside.

it might have saved the club at the time but selling off the car park for housing is a massive restriction on future stadium development.

Thats a really good point, but like you said was necessary

OK, I'm going to be barmy now! This is part joke, part serious.

Can we swop sites with Altrincham Leisure Centre, They have ours and we have theirs. That way we occupy part of Pollitt's Field, a historical connection. They redevelop the old Moss Lane Ground to a brand new leisure centre. We are then next to the Ice Rink, another Sports Centre, but with superb transport connections. Like Newcastle we are then a Town Centre Club. Short walk from the Town Centre too, and dead, dead easy to get to.

OK, I'll get my coat!!

That's exactly what the ongoing work is Steve. Altys new ground under wraps. It's top secret though. Keep it to yourself.

It's a cracking idea. Every time I go to Newcastle I marvel at the ground. Complete contrast to Gateshead

I was about to suggest something similar. I was thinking the car park next to the leisure centre and train station. I haven’t been to Altrincham for years, so don’t know if that’s still viable. I think there may be an ice rink there? But we could build a new stadium right next to the train station and pretty much in the town centre.

It's a really obvious idea isn't it... but as desolate as it currently looks, I can't imagine a strip of land like that would come cheap.

Can you wait till next Friday when I win the Euromillions? 😊

....and I thought everyone was going to class me as barmy!!

[cheshire cat]

I think that strip of land is too narrow
