    The same reason Arsenal and Spurs are a bit **** (compared to their fans expectations) - because all the money has gone into off the field development and the team has been neglected. They're trying to grow our "brand" but have forgotten that a football club's brand is reliant on its team.

    Sales to make way for our brand new stadium in Bushey. Now it all makes sense.

    Will be easier to get a 10,000 capacity stadium approved.

    And here he is....

    He's a cat in the box. Startling reflexes when given a ball to play with and jumps well in the air. Thats what Floppo told Vlad anyway.

    Beaten to the punch line again. :D New site will be Debenhams seeing as the Council need to find a use for it. Nice central location at the heart of the town as well.

    A bigger stadium designed for social distancing...

    Reminds me of the old joke about shouting to the person next to you at half time.

    I’m pretty sure that cat is called Gobolino.

    It is. Paolo Gobolino. We'll see him being walked around the Vic before he is packed into a carrier never to be seen again here. :D

    That suggests an element of entertainment, which I’d be up for at this stage. Make Deeney chief Lion tamer and hope they turn on him.

    The volume they play the ads at half time you have to shout even in the old days, (2019).

    Hopefully they'll end up with a quarry or a landfill site.

    Gino would probably re-name the club Watford Forest F.C. for marketing reasons

    It’s silly, bearing in mind that Tree Preservation Orders are likely to have little impact on such a large redevelopment proposal. After all the main issue for the site will be to provide road access from the M1 link road. That alone will be a major planning hurdle to overcome. Herts County Council want to build a park and ride car park near to the M1 for Watford town centre/business park visitors, replacing private car trips with bus trips. That will involve the loss of a huge number of trees and acres concreted over. TPOs are line of the easiest issues to mitigate to get planning permission. Look at HS2

    They could make the new goal posts out of the trees.
    That way they stay planted in the same place , just painted white and in rectangular shape.

    TPO doesn't necessarily scupper the deal. It just means they can't be bulldozed or trimmed without permission.

    Promising to plant replacements creating communal space etc will mean development plans can sometimes go ahead.
