Ninian....again

Just a quick question...if we were still at Ninian would we be in the shit we are now?????

I know we had debt at the old place but methinks id rather still be there amongst the fally down buildings than turning into a ''cant be arsed with all the crap that comes with football'' fan at the new stadium......

The biggest problem with staying at our beloved NP was the fact that if we had stayed we would have had to get rid of the terracing as I believe the Football League had only given us an extension on the basis of the new stadium coming to fruition.

Of course, putting seats in would have been cheaper than a new stadium but it probably would have reduced the capacity still further and there may have been knock-ons such as extending the roof over the Bob Bank, etc.

The other thing is that if we had to do all that work would any bank have lent us the money ? It's a bit like a mortgage on a house, banks/building societies fall over themselves to lend you money as long as you have equity in the house, NP was pretty dilapidated toward the end and maybe that could have been an issue too. I certainly don't think we would have stood a chance of getting any additional investment in unless we moved from NP but, then again, would we have needed it

I do miss the atmosphere at the old ground but having a drink and watching the game are much less of a chore in the CCS, particularly in the winter

Personally, I don't see the point raking up all this Ninian stuff. We're in the mess now and have to get out of it. Everything else is hypothetical

I didn't mean it in an agressive way!!! I've been thinking for ages on how to word the way i feel about the Ninian Park thing without coming over like this. Looks like Ifailed anyway I just can't see the point, we're where we are and we shouldn't really look back, apart from the matchday memories we have about the place

Won't a new stadium be more appealing to a prospective investor?
