I think you mean ‘wasn’t’ WG. Agree, a lot more to this than being about facilities. With training and operations moving to Ilkeston and GP only open on matchdays, the club is all but leaving the town. How long before opening GP on matchdays becomes ‘unsustainable’ too? A sceptic might say, ‘can’t you see what’s happening here?’
Agree with this totally hence my earlier post directly after listening to Hilton .. this whole ILK move for training has more to it than just cos of a crap training pitch at Scunny, clearing the decks , land around GP for development virtually closing GP except match days all suspect in my opinion.. hey silly me when DH bought the club (nearly not yet complete) i though it was with the intention to keep it where it belongs actually in the town of Scunthorpe not move it away ,dissect and de staff it.
As a footnote ..this 1899 share scheme must be dead in the water now , who in the right mind would pay for a share of it when quite possibly will be rolling in tumbleweed 6 days per week before it becomes impractical and games moved to …….. ?? Ilkeston by any chance ??
I want to support DH but not a fan of the decision to move to anything ILK .. a location in Scunny should be found and GP “office” remain open that way the town still has a club.
I could see many supporters drifting away upon relegation being confirmed and DHs future plans coming in.
GP is effectively being mothballed.
Park a classic car up and don’t store it in the correct conditions and use & service it – and you are heading for trouble.
The tired old girl known as GP has her maintenance and servicing issues.
Will the pitch be given over to Mother Nature? Perhaps given a trim and white lining on the day before a game?
No ground staff and it’ll become a lumpy, bumpy pitch full of weeds!
At that point, a declaration that GP is not up to standard and not fit for purpose might be issued – but, luckily we’ve contingency plans with our Ilkeston buddies and they’ve come to our rescue.
Nothing in life is ever what it seems!
Certainty comes with death.
