Good call Ozzy. The F.E.S., even after the roof goes up over the Clayton End (saw it with my own eyes on a flying visit today !!) will still probably be one of the worst grounds in the league. Intimidating,it may be,but the current site has it's drawbacks,namely:
It would probably cost a significant sum to develop the present site, i.e building a new Whinney Hill Stand.
The local residents have already objected and complained about the police box / facility.Can we honestly believe that they wouldn't object to further plans ?
Parking is a problem around the F.E.S. now.Should we progress to a higher level,it will become more of a problem,hence more complaints.
The place has served us well and I have many fond memories from there.But maybe (funding for a new stadium permitted) its time to move on.
