You cant do anything but hoof the ball because the pitches are shocking. We went to southport and got humped 5-0, purely because on their pitch you cant pass the ball. A week later, they came to our place and we gave them a masterclass in how to play football and annihilated them.
There is no chance of us going the way of farsley and weymouth as we have a multi millionaire at the helm who has already proved hes here for the long term by building us a stadium that is fit for the football league. We've already signed up our best players on full time contracts and are even letting players go of the calibre of Jamie Milligan who would walk into most blue square premier teams because we have football league players comming in next season.
We will be in the football league within 2-3 years guaranteed.
Yes i have seen some of the ground in the BSN. They are similar to the ones in the BSP. Surely a team that has a divine right to be promoted should be able to brush all comers aside on any surface? If your lot struggle on poop pitches then you ain't gunna storm the BSP like you think

Well I think its been an eye opener this season and im sure we will learn that in order to succeed in the semi pro game, you need to be able to play route 1 football or play like southport where you have no skill but all your players are 16 stone meat heads and just kick you into next week. But we like to play the beautiful game. Just the way it is

I hope I'm not right, but Fleetwood is a house built on sand.
As for being fit for the Football League?! You've got only got half a stand of seats, an open side, a third of a terrace and admittedly one decent terrace, while your support have shown in previous years that they're nowhere to be seen once a sniff of glory has gone.

Was thinking the same. Just looked at the ground on the Fleetwood website and it looks like a pretty standard non-league set up. Off the top of my head i know that AFC Telford have a better ground in that division alone.

Seem to remember Gretna having a similar business model.
What happened to them again?

Plans have been passed and work starts in the summer on the new stand which takes our capacity to 5,000 which will get us into the football league.
As for your history comment, thats obviously just something you have made up because we have never had success. Sure a trip to wembley but our crowds never increased on that.

Telfords is very similar except our new stand will blow their stadium out of the water, with its function suites, VIP boxes etc.
