Re: Chairman's statement
Lots of good issues being raised here. My sense from here, and chatting to fans generally is that there is massive support for the idea of moving back to Underhill but after the excitement of the initial announcement the council statement has dampened expectations.
At the moment there isn't a huge amount of information on the development/move. The statement set out the desire to move, mentioned the club wanted to begin pre-planning and had some mockups of a possible design. In planning terms it is really early days.
Trying to distil down the discussion I think a few key questions emerge.
1) Who owns the land the club intends to build on?
2) Has the club spoken to those owners and do they support the plan?
3) What engagement has been done with council, local area and broader community?
4) What's the plan for the Hive if the scheme succeeds?
5) What's the plan for the Hive if the scheme fails?
I think the club are planning an update to put some more flesh on the bones of the idea. Answers to these questions would be a valuable part of that.

Re: Chairman's statement
Re point 3, minimal with the council. They weren't consulted on the Club's Press Release. I think Barnet Labour are supportive of the club moving back, but it has to be a feasible location and South Underhill may not be it I'm afraid.

It's a complex picture but there are some quite worrying trends. Interestingly, relegation has not impacted upon the crowds at the likes of Oldham, Rochdale, Chesterfield, York etc - who in some cases have grown their attendances while falling from L1 to the National League.

Re: Chairman's statement
I'm also itching for a stadium update, as I'm sure are plenty of other people. The initial statement did say that "we will be providing a progress update at the end of the month", so hopefully we may hear something by Thursday or Friday this week.letchbee94 wrote: ↑26 Feb 2024, 20:16Would be nice to hear answers to those questions John.barnetjohn wrote: ↑24 Feb 2024, 12:30 Lots of good issues being raised here.

I'm not suggesting that the update will contain anything concrete or comprehensive, just that there is due to be one - based on the initial announcement.ETBee wrote: ↑27 Feb 2024, 10:46Don't hold your breath.

I am still waiting for Paul Fairclough's promised monthly updates as PEPF was being redeveloped back in 2010!
Re: Chairman's statement
The update is going to be a referendum as to whether or not we want to stay in Cannons Park or return to Barnet.
