Made me think it would of been a good idea for us to that at Brunton Park while the opportunity was there. This would then open up the ground floor for commercial opportunities I've Lummy bar and decent food areas. Sorry caught carried away ha!

Sorry I should read back before posting! New to this! Ha Lummy was hinting for a bar on the radio yesterday! Carried away was my own attempted at sarcasm as our current board wouldn't think of such a idea!

Yeah because it's now like we haven't played at home since December and costing £3 million, to invest on a flood plain is something very stupid indeed, due to complexity in planning , increased insurrance costs , tight restrictions etc

might be costing £3M but it's not our £3M is it? that's what insurance is for.

But how much will our insurance be now ?, double, triple,will they even cover us for flood damage from now on, would we even get planing permission, we stay at brunton park all it take is for the events of this year to repeat its self and we dont have a ground, we wont be able to afford to do the ground up. I just find it a stupid idea to invest in brunton park. So Why waste 18 million on brunton park when it may flood, when we can spend £18 million and find a place with far more potential to expand and take us forwards as a cub

We haven't got £18 million to spend on a ground anywhere, anyhow,anytime, so lets not stress.

Damn it! I need more self control!!!!

Unrepentant blue Offline Ball Boy Posts: 57 Likes received: 16	The new scheme that has recently been talked about which provides cover for buildings on flood plains is unclear on who will be covered and who will not. It appears that private residential properties will be provided with affordable insurance quotes. However businesses of any kind (inc.b&b;, shops etc) have no provision in the scheme.

Personally maybe a "Murphys Bar, "Ziggys Bar" or "Jimmys Bar" would work, ex players name worked into it, Barnet had a Grazioli bar, not that I went in like. If we win cake and strippers all round!
