From the Crown it would, yeah. I'm not sure I'll still use the Crown though if we're there. It's got to be at least a half hour walk if there's any crowd at all. |  |

Are we going to let newby Islehoop off without the customary favourite cheese?
Seriously, the standards on this board have been shocking lately.
If Ted believes this will happen, I have no reason to disbelieve him.
Unlike Mel and Miles who are a couple of ITK chancers ;)

Fahkin long walk from the Crown & Sceptre to there. The walk from C&S to Loftus Rd is long enough.

I wonder if we have delayed the building of the training ground in order to add a running track and small stadium? |  |

Wouldn't make a blind bit of difference, it's a long way from the scrubs to warren farm, and they're in different boroughs. There are also several tracks in between already. We'd certainly have to build replacement facilities elsewhere in H&F. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Have said a few times that the MOD owning the land would be the biggest obstacle in this although with all the cuts to the forces these days maybe they would sell it , the land the linford christie sits on isnt big enough for a 20k stadium let alone a 45k stadium and assocaited bits that will be added onto it.
couple with the access issues etc east acton station would need millions spent on it which would prove difficauly as its one of the smallest stations on the central line and built alongside the railway line so bloody hard to expand it let alone make the paltforms bigger
not doubting ted atall on this but gut feeling says it wont be the linfrord christie. |
I think the MoD would want to keep it as a back up, they've already sold nearly every other site in London. Also, as I said before, it would probably need an act of parliament to overturn the original act that created the scrubs. That would be very unlikely also.
That's why I asked if the track was on the scrubs or was actually a separate piece of land. If it's the former then there are all sorts of obstacles that could easily kill this off. | | | |

The Unigate depot would be ideal and I think if the club have not given this serious consideration they are overlooking an ideal site.
Can’t see the Linford Christie stadium working due to the aforementioned points. But then again if we are in the position to throw money at it then anything is possible. Money talks.
Can't wait to see the first few designs Tony was going on about!!

Isn't the hospital losing its A+E, and therefore majority of its ambulances? (Scandalous BTW) |
Charing x is loosing its A&E. The roads round there are already rammed each rush hour. The hospital owns the parking next door and has its haematology centre and wards practically on the running track.
I really cant see this going ahead. |  |

no reason to doubt what teds said atall but gut feeling it and always has been the BBC site on wood lane or park royal if we are desperate
cant see LC being viable way to many hurdles to overcome on this site |  |

About East Acton station:
i suspect the section 106 agreement (thats the money that public bodies take of developeres to offset the impact of the scheem) will include an upgrade to East Action station.I saw the photo above, and there seems to be room to widen the platforms relatively easily - but not necessarily cheaply! |  |

This plus the new stations just to the north of the Scrubs and within easy walking distance. The area is blessed with fantastic rail links, other new grounds (Reading, Southampton) don't have any rail links within miles let alone a few hundred yards. |  |

they can apply the 106 but the station is sandwiched btween the railway bridge and houses to the right of it and also behind it . no way could they expand the station to make it big enough to allow for the extra people coming through , regardless of the platform size | |

I will confess I've never been to East Acton - and was purley going from thephto of the platform - but if the entrance is too narrow - thats another story! | |

Used to work at the hospital and used East Acton everyday. It's also raised above street level which would make any extensions/adaptions really expensive. | |

Surely you just restrict the amount of people getting into the station at any time, like they do at Wembley? | |

its a little easier at Wembley as there is one road connecting the stadium to the tube and no traffic goes along it, no houses or shops to either side. i suspect its not the same at EAct... | |
