So, after reading the club statement, majority of fans voiced their anger at the idea of leaving York Road, though some agreed with the decision to move…
It’s a tough one-all that history…but development is almost impossible in the current location.

No!!! I wanna stay at York road! Don’t destroy our history at York road ? Shanley…..?

This is a huge decision for the club. With such history behind us and a town centre location, the fans love York Road. Me included. But access is an issue with the regeneration. For a move to work, it needs a big cash injection and the club must own the new freehold.

If the club are to move forward unfortunately it won’t be cost effective to stay at York Road. Millions of pounds will be needed to be spent on the repair of York road and that money isn’t available.

Eventually the money will run out too. No money and no history then. The ‘new’ 4g stadiums are soulless. It was only a few months ago we were planning for potential FL expansion at York Rd with planning applications etc. Guess money talks.

Was wondering when this was going to come up. York Rd is part of football history as worlds oldest continuously used ground. Braywick’s a shite place to stick a football ground! No pubs around there either

@dinglouis_: No York road has to stay
@EddieRFC7: Don’t do it
@SteamTree: Mixed emotions on this ?
@JrKroz: 148 years of football at York Road. Don’t let it end like this. (PS: What happened to all the ‘looking to expand York Road’ ideas from a few months ago?)
@Wilcox1970: Why do they need to expand? Rarely get up to half capacity as it is. Money making exercise to move to a mekano soulless hole for more flats yippee.
@OllyStrudwick: In the future maybe a good move but for right now, no
@StefanKacz: York Road is a unique ground with a special atmosphere. However, the facility is clearly not up to today’s modern standards. Braywick promises to be an incredibly exciting venture that would attract fans, the local community, sponsors & players alike! Big opportunity….
@JimGosby: Money talks, nostalgia walks.
@jivinmalc: NO NO NO NO NO NO . This is totally unacceptable. Do not betray the fans. Do this & support will decline.
