New owner - new ground? 16:44 - Jan 5 with 3725 views | saint901 | I don't know much about Mr Solak but I hope he takes a real interest in his new acquisition. If so, can I ask that he consider moving the stadium - pretty please? Anybody coming into Sampton for a match finds the stadium an utter PITA to get to, park nearby, get out of, and leave the city. It should never have been put where it was. Instead sell the land for housing - which is what all the surrounding property is going for and use the money to build something out near the motorway. The sites near the old Transit factory look favourite to me. Easy access, good links into and out of town. A railway line ready. I seem to think that Rupert whatshisface tried to build a stadium out there and got outline permission? He then got greedy and wanted a hotel, shops, residential and the planners said no. Perhaps it would be a good time to try again and build a bigger (40k) stadium? | | | | |

New owner - new ground? on 18:53 - Jan 6 with 378 views | kernow | Don't get how anyone can slag off St Mary's. It's a wonderful football arena, fit to host World Cup internationals, city centre location, with a brilliant atmosphere. It took a while, but it has become Saints' home, fit and worthy of a Premier League football club. It took years of waiting but it was absolutely necessary for a progressive football club to have such a home. The nostalgia for the Dell was never a part of this fana's mindset. Too many memories of being trampled, crushed, obsolete and inadequate facilities, catering, welfare, obscured vision and a general feeling of being herded and coralled. Okay, opposing teams hated playing there and it was worth maybe 12 points a season, but the Dell held back Saints for decades. | | | |
