Something to bear in mind when a certain other club thinks of relocating?
Whilst I can understand what you are saying about Darlington, I cannot see Mr Khan building a white elephant for Accy IF that is who you are referring to. The maximum size for the new ground will probably be slightly larger than what we are now playing with (approx 6,000 is my guess) with the ability to enlarge if (or should that be when) we get promotion. What Ilyas is looking at is the other facilities that can be built into the stadium complex such as a hotel/sports and athletics centre etc. There is absolutely no chance of us getting anything like the arena in Darlington for a while yet.
