It it realistic and reasonable to think we could be back at BP by then? I really hope so. As good as it is to play at other grounds and I'm very grateful to them for letting us, there is no place like home.
I think we would have got about 8k for the hartlepool game and something similar for the Plymouth game. Shame we will miss out on those two.
Hopefully, once back at BP, we will get some good attendances as we push for promotion.
I'm not saying forget the off field problems but this team deserve the backing of the Cumbrian public for all they have done and continue to do .

But when you see a load of Man U fans pulling out of Penrith railway station to go and watch 'their' team, where does that leave the phrase 'the team deserves the backing of the Cumbrian Public'? Unfortunately some people simply don't give a shit.

Has always been the way and always will be.

Whether it's Liverpool, Man utd, Everton, Leeds or the Glasgow teams, cumbrians have always been willing to travel to watch "their" team. No idea what they see in it or how they possibly feel an affinity with a team they have no connection with other than wanting to support a big team but there you go.

We really need to win back the thousands who have left us in the last 5 or 6 seasons since we won back to back promotions then stagnated in league 1.

I do think that the York game is too soon, far too soon to be honest.

With the way the club was will have to dry out before repairs (around now I reckon) and then there'll be all sorts of health and safety visits ect.

The pitch will need to be dug up and completely relaid from scratch, surely the amount of sludge and whatever else that was sat in the floodwater will make the pitch unsafe to stand on never mind play. Given that we are towards the end of December now I do think the end of January is too soon, pitch in summer may take a few weeks to grow but this will all depend on weather from now on

The clubs target was the York match, in the statement earlier this month, it is the match we should target but at this time of year builders will be wanting time off for Christmas , then they'll have time off for New years, the electrics will probably need checked, but I still think its possible although the kitchens in the east stand may need to be replaced along with bars, but we are getting a lot more help than last time one of the advantages of the internet deal our plight went world wide

Can't see the same happening in under 2 months this time, and this time was worse than 2005 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Everything on ground floor level needs replaced, bars, office equipment, carpets, kitchen equipment, cellars and that includes the bars/catering in the east stand. The place is a disaster zone. Also, it looks like the pitch will need dug up, drains unblocked, running track reinstated, advertising boards renewed and pitch replaced. If we get back into BP by february then the powers that be need medals the size of dustbin lids.

We were talking about this on Saturday, how much work actually needs done for us to be able to host a football match at BP? Does the work have to be fully complete for us to play the York game?

My view was as long as we have the heating and electrics working, have some sort of changing facilities for the players and a decent pitch then the game could go ahead. The WRE surely doesn't need much work done to reopen, if the East Stand does need to be used could we not have temporary toilets and catering facilities? All the bars in the Main Stand are above the flood level so should be okay. The only stumbling block I could think of was the ticketing facilities but I'm sure somebody could come up with a reasonable solution.

I think the pitch could be the real stumbling block.
Floodwater, especially in the lower reaches of a river tends to be heavily contaminated by sewage. Because of the risk of infection from any injuries on the pitch and the health & safety environment we now live in, I expect the top layer will have to be removed and re-turfed. The new turf will then take some time to bed in, especially now that we are in the winter months.
