If as Gabby says "stadium is in safe hands" - then we are not moving to a new ground, it will be interesting to see what the plans are for the stadium?

Might be worth checking that we haven't moved overnight to be fair.

I can’t see the people who make the decisions letting Talksport’s Gabby in on it.

In fairness, he probably still knows plenty of people there who know bits of info.
I suppose, it’s possible someone may have mentioned something without saying a great deal.

I imagine that the fact that he works for that station means he’s not going to get any ITK

Gabby probably listened to them droning on about GA seats and assumed they were named after him.

And you think Gabby is clever enough to piece together bits of info and come to the right conclusion?

He probably thinks GA and GA+ are new collections by Armani.

Newcastle have announced they are staying in their current stadium and increasing stadium capacity to 60,000 +

Maybe we have similar plans for our ground to renovate and increase capacity

Newcastle haven't announced it, The Telegraph are reporting that it's the preferred option.

Meanwhile, we can't even keep up with Wrexham...

Quote
Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney say their long-term ambition is to increase the club’s stadium capacity to as much as 55,000.

A new 5,500 all-seater stand is already planned at the Racecourse Ground as a replacement for the Kop end, which has been unused since 2007.

But after delays to the start of work, a temporary 2,289 stand has been erected instead.

Wrexham’s Hollywood co-owners are currently publicising season three of the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary - charting the club’s promotion from League Two - and have outlined their future plans for Stok Racecourse.

“We have a plan in place right now that would eventually work from stand to stand, so eventually you get all four sides,” McElhenney told American entertainment website Collider.

“It's hard to say for sure, but we think we could get between 45-55,000 people in there”.

With tickets for matches in high demand, Reynolds said he wants to be in a situation where “the whole town could come to the game”.

I can see us doing a Spurs . Eg. Not moving location but building a new ground next to / on part footprint with the old one . This will involve road diversions / CPO's etc so a much bigger job than extending the North.

There isn't enough land round the NEC, there's no infrastructure except Resorts World, which I doubt can cater for 50,000 people in three hours  and take a look at the access roads onto the M42 whenever there's a show there.

They’re building a new junction close to the nec though what’s that for?

JLR.

Is it. I thought it was for the HS2 Station which seems to be in the middle of it.

It's been an interesting journey watching them not understand half the rules at first to becoming rabid "hide behind the coucher's" like the rest of us.

Don't get me wrong, they are still the ManC of non league/lower leagues, but to watch a couple of Americans fall in love with the game has been quite interesting.

I quite like Ryan Reynolds too. He is very funny. I imagine his humour is not to everyones taste though.

I have no idea who the other guy is, other than he's in some American made Sunshine program, or something.

He seems pleasant enough though.

I certainly don't hate Wrexham as much as some people do though.

They don’t bother me. But I do enjoy calling them Wrectum.
