Would it be worth, when they are moving the undersoil for the new pitch, turfing up the playing pitch and re-laying it at the new ground?
If it takes, would it not be better than trying to grown new?
Whats the best way of getting a brick from the old place as I have promised myself one ? Wait 'til its gettting demolished & sneak in & get one or ask some of the workers if I could have one ?
could someone post the pics i took if i email them someone please?
As far as I know, under demolition recycling regs, the bricks will be crushed to be used as hardcore for the new build so I'd loiter by the Crispy Cod and ask a demolition bloke for one. Plus sneaking in tends to be viewed very dimly by the law.

Well I wandered in when the gates were open the other day. The pitch is in great condition considering the bad weather. So where did they get the turf they sold to people at christmas for £15 a square foot? I couldn't see any removed? Don't tell me.... no.... they wouldn't?????
There's a big strip of turf removed from in front of the main stand, seen on the photos that accompanied Mike Critchley's article in the Star before Christmas.
Except they'd have to spend another fortune on ensuring it hits safety standards, whereas playing at Widnes costs the club nowhere near the same amount of money.
I don't suppose it matters now but would we have been charged rent if we didn't own it and would probaby have had to maintain it also? It is a shame really that the leaving of KR/moving into new stadium hasn't gone hand in hand. It will wrankle with with me slightly if KR does stand for the rest of this season as I personally would have stayed if possible however having been to Widnes today there will be a lot who would prefer it for a season I imagine.
Would not surprise me in the least. House builders have land banks(Morrison aka gallifordtry who are doing the bridge to the ground have nearly 4000plots yet to build estates on) Which is basically as it states. They just purchase land and develop it when convenient and prices to sell are best. KR may well be dropped and the land stay undeveloped for a while. I think the hype the ground may make it happen sooner than later but I would think a slow build would happen. The current housing Market is dire with the uncertainty of jobs etc.
According to this page the first homes are due to be ready in Feb 2011, so I think we whould see some movement soon, if this page is correct and up to date etc

Ty Pennington can build a house in 7 days.
I heard somewhere that it was costing over £250,000 a year just to keep up with safety standards.
No point throwing good money after bad and I bet moving to Widnes gives us more in Corporate money (and therefore more total income) than KR did.

I can't imagine that houses/apartments would be ready until at least early to late July
Just drove down Dunriding Lane and fencing has been put up along the front and in front of the club house
