David Newton wants to relocate Pilgrims ASAP

[cappo]

its become obvious of late that york street hasnt and couldnt have the facilitys for us to progress financially in place so a new ground has to be custom built for us.there has been allsorts of figures that we as fans have speculated a new ground would cost to build and to be honest i havnt got a clue as what that amount would be.just thinking out loud though what would it cost to buy y/s out right for the club to own it and carry on where we are

York streets not going to be sold seperate to the glider, the last figure for the job lot was in the area of 6 mil with no room to develop, so it not a option im affraid to say.Even if you got it for 3 mil it would be costly to the club throu lost revenue on other facilities

[les]

What is needed is something like a greyhound track around the perimeter, possibly a moveable one that could operate within the pitch area and be moved out for football.
This would utilsise the stadium probably twice a week, without any wear and tear on the pitch itself, but mainly use the spectator facilities. This would operate 52 weeks a year generating revenue every week.

Why would there be a lost of revenue if the club bought Y/S and Glider as a job lot, take over the Bingo, move the Pilgrim Lounge into the Glider, turn the lounge into the club shop, and bring big name bands back to Boston, all profits ploughed back into the club -  simples

The councel have a big say in the land once the lease is up,There looking at development so lets forget about the york street and get with the program.

Newton has expressed all he can the reason to move. To be cost effective we need to not only have a ground but surrending area for cummunity programs etc and training. Including youth teams and cummunity teams etc.

To reach our target grants as a guess we would need the right facilities. And withou buying esso and mataland and flatening them we havnt got where we are

Les, a greyhound track cannot be moved.  I would love one in Boston but the do gooders would put a stop to that.  The last one we had was on the Tesco B&Q site, they tried again but locals objected due to increase in traffic, look how much there is now

The old Wembley had one so did Stanford bridge and West ham.  Years ago a track went around York Street, and one summer racing was held down Tatt road.

I would have thought that with modern eipment and technology that problem was surmountable. We get drop in cricket pitches and roofed football pitches.
Not sure that it would necessarily be economic,but I am sure it is feasible.

Bingo is losing money
The last 'big night' out at the Glider was cancelled due to lack of ticket sales
Not much profit

The reason the 6 is not a option is becouse it would have several mil put on top to tap into the full pottential

[Bostonshire]

To be where we need to be financial wise we would need to accomadate The FITC.YOUTH.COE cummunity teams with good facilities and pitches instead of renting places,

The new site would have to house a club/shop training centres and to tap in to other sourses of income things like confrence centres to name one.

At york street we have a ground with 1 pitch. a club limited office room and tiny shop. Also lacking apeal to entice buisnesses to use as confrence centre(Comment is not ment as a disrespect to the club).

So 6 mil at york street would soon be added as (subject to planning) Somehow purchases of surrending land would be needed at a cost of a few mil. added to that the legel work/surveys And construction i think you can see that we wouldnt be talking just 6mil.

How ever with current prces and the chestnuts no how id guess a move with facilities needed could be done for 6 or 7 making it the only way forward
