Re: Racecourse
I think our ground is a competitive advantage and something to be proud of. I can't really see a reason to move - it shouldn't be a priority anyway.
I've been to various new grounds, e.g. Colchester and Shrewsbury. They are fine but are soulless and in the middle of nowhere.
Ours needs some work of course, but the location is great, there is room to develop and expand, and we already have the basis place in the MRS and Yale stands. The Kop needs replacing, and the Uni end needs to be refurbished or replaced. But that would be a lot cheaper to do than moving to a new ground. End result would be a 15,000 to 20,000 stadium in a great location, with atmosphere and soul. Hopefully replace the blue seats in the Yale Stand at some point too...
The Racecourse has a history and is synonymous with our past achievements. It's part of what makes us who we are. And being able to walk there from the town centre is a big thing.
