That is all at the present. I think we have all pretty much heard about DMPRFcs view on us at the moment. They are in a bit of a honeymoon period at the moment confident and giving it a go in their own.
In 2 years.
Financial position could change, you know what £25k per year extra revenue might not seem such a bad thing. Who knows it is a bigger better facility we could even stretch to £30k-£35k.
We could be desperate. Things work differently when people are desperate! Look at the 50k injection in the final hours in 2012! Who knows who could get on our side and lobby with us to get a groundshare at the arena.

What sort of sponsorship are mp getting at the arena? And how have their crowds done? You'd imagine the time we are out in bishop should be when they are really focused on picking up people in town. If not now, how will they achieve it when a more established team playing a much, much more entertaining sport is back in town?

It's taken me half an hour to read what the second poster could have killed off with the comment "Deja Vu all over again"

If this isnt possible could we ask Boro if we could share with them, cant be much further than HP for folks to drive and no grading worries
Please good no, Boro is a 5h1thole, and it is about 8,000 bigger than the arena and probably just as soul destroying

wheres all this suddenly come from, cause nothings changed in the last few days??...some people on this thread just woke up and smelled the coffee?.....sharing with WEST AUCKLAND or SHILDON? yeah, we'd be welcomed with open arms at both those clubs. Going to Middlesbro? Dont think theyd even consider it. Mowden dont appear to want us @ the Arena, even if we wanted to go back. Problems with promotions that, lets face it, we aint got yet, have always been on the cards and Im sure all possibilities are being looked at, even upgrading HP.So Bishes manager and chairman have gone and theyve lost a few players? Big deal,they'll replace them and carry on as before so nothing will change there.
Lets talk about something that might be a bit more relevent......I for one only got to Gateshead away in the Conference - How about some of our posters on here who did get about giving us their opinions on the grounds in the Conference and how far HP is away from what theyve seen? - not even sure if Conference North has more relaxed requirements than the Conf. itself?

End of day bishop aren't doomed simply lost our manager and had a change in chairman, no one man puts all the money in to bishop so this won't affect much. We have a 99 year lease on the ground
Appointed a new manager yesterday Graeme lees dad tony and believe Graeme will be playing for us too

So what does he know? Everyone knows it is what is said on here that matters.
