New Stadium?
Has anyone heard of a new stadium for the Moors? Just been speaking to a colleague at work who's friend who played for Plymouth but has signed for Macclesfield this weekend, but Moors spoke to him beforehand and he was offered a very healthy financial package and incentive with Moors. He was also told about the new stadium that we are getting following the sale of Damson Park to Land Rover.
If I am behind the times and this is common knowledge already please ignore me :-)

Re: New Stadium?
This guy who has joined Macclesfield from Plymouth is Luther Blissett's nephew and apparently had talks with out management team where the new stadium was thrown in as another way to improve the deal offered.

Re: New Stadium?
Is it not the case that several years back;Landrover (acting through a front man) bought an option on the ground?
As I understood it, the option (which was bought for quite a small sum of money) was time limited.
I believe the deal would require the purchaser(who turned out to Land Rover) to provide another suitable site for a ground.
At the time, I could not see how the Moors would benefit financially, as against simply marketing their current site themselves.

Re: New Stadium?
I really hope,if true, it isn't in Meriden or anywhere that rural. Needs to be near the town.
Perhaps even more important is to avoid getting into or anywhere near a bed with Coventry City under their current ownership. Probably manage to bankrupt us as well, leaving us groundless and clubless.
To come up with an analogy for it, it would be like having Jimmy Saville come over to babysit while Bill Cosby took your missus out for a drink so you could have a day out.
