What's the difference between a stadium and a ground?

Nothing.

If Bournemouth is a new ground they why isn't Preston's?

Deepdale isn't a new stadium because PNE don't refer to it as a new stadium, whereas Dean Court is a new stadium because AFCB say so.

If you find this explanation deeply unsatisfying, CT will be along in a moment to set you straight.

Bournemouth say they have moved ground and, having been to both, it is clearly obvious that they have. I'll take their view of it over yours. Pitch moved? The new ground isn't even on the same footprint. If you don't think they are new grounds then you clearly don't think the Tottenham grounds are ...

Sausage

Nothing at all like Bournemouth - I've been on both of their grounds and I've also been on Molineux, back in the 1960s and recently. So what? So have I, albeit my first visit to Wolves in 1986 was before the pitch was moved and the new stand was 100ft from the touchline. But I'm struggling to disce...

Nothing like the same. Molineux is the same ground on the same footprint.

Same ground on a different footprint, much like Dean Court. The John Ireland Stand (now the Steve Bull Stand) wiped out an entire street.

I can see we're aren't going to agree on this.

Sausage

It's not the same place at all. The old ground was flattened, they went off to play somewhere else for a while and the new ground is only partly on the old footprint. If you consider this to be the same ground, then you would need to do the same for Wembley. Bournemouth themselves consider it to be...

Sausage

Dean Court? I know they bulldozed the old ground and rotated the pitch 90 degrees but surely it's the same place.

Sausage

Maine Road and the Boleyn Ground spring to mind. I've just totalled up that I've had to untick nine current EFL and EPL grounds and I'll soon lose Griffin Park and, quite soon, Goodison Park too. But I've also lost quite a few due to relegation to the Conference/National League, including: Halifax N...

Can I assume everyone on here wanting the betting association stopped is OK if there's no more beer on the concourses? Or is that different? No one on here has said gambling should not be allowed within football grounds. You've missed the point, which is that it's the promotion of betting (as oppos...

"Stonewall penalty" - the implication that it's an indisputable penalty.

The definition of stonewall has nothing to do with being indisuputable. It means to delay or obstruct by being evasive.

Sausage

It's a free country, mate. The way I look at it is that it's nice of Blackburn Rovers to put money into Burnley's transport infrastructure and, at the same time, advertise the fact they have a dwindling fan base.

That eerie silence is while people Google piriformis and then wince in sympathy. One of the problems in getting older (I'm 44, so hardly past it) is that the body starts to creak and ache like a bugger. My knees are knackered, my left shoulder gives me constant jip and I have phantom pain from a dou...

In the late fifties and early sixties I lived in Helmshore and there was a special evening when my father would take myself and my little sister to see the crib next to the war memorial in Haslingden, it was a magical time.

Burnley Civic Trust is doing a sterling job with this archive but almost every update is tinged with sadness at the wanton destruction of Burnley's industrial and civic heritage in the 1960s. I know the sentiment at the time was 'out with the old, in with the new' but, by God, none of it was an impr...

Thanks everyone. I never even thought about the train. I’ll have a look now.

Sausage

For my sins I'm headed to Manchester tomorrow and need to get from there to Burnley tomorrow evening. What is the cost on the X43 these days? Can you pay by contactless when you get on the bus or do you still have to pay cash?

I've had a look online but the Transdev website is bewildering.

All Bercow has done is stick to Parliamentary procedure. It was never his job to get brexit through.

Not sure they can do that when it's against safety rules to stand, if clubs encouraged standing I guess their safety certificate could be removed Interesting to note the polite warning our clubs gives when buying tickets in the James Hargreaves Lower: PLEASE NOTE: Blocks 1,2, 3 in James Hargreaves ...

You are right and maybe my view is a bit old fashioned and I do hope I'm wrong but my problem is we have been here before. The 80's looked like football had really arrived there but then it all but disappeared. They have had the World Cup there previously ('94) and that didn't exactly shake things ...

I think you'd better guard the touchlines, Sausage, when United visit the Turf, as we don't want to upset Pogba when he's taking a penalty... That's not fair. :-) It's perfectly fair to give a player some stick, e.g. "Paul, you're s**t" "Paul, you overpaid primadonna" But "Paul, you black b**stard"...

Don't make out I'm a racist for talking about this, this post is nothing to do with racism, I'm pointing out that a lot of the goading comes from another place. If one cannot jeer the opposition then the fan entertainment is diminished, fans make their own entertainment as part of the spectacle. Th...

Aside from it being hugely insensitive to the victims of abuse, the club's obvious lack of remorse and current cavalier attitude to safeguarding means no sane parent would ever let their boy join Crewe as a youth player. I wouldn't let my son anywhere near the place.

W_C_Z, the photo of the railings being removed from the old Cricket Field End is fantastic.

It looks like the large roof stanchions had safety padding around them, a bit like rugby posts do nowadays. Or is my eyesight failing me?

This was the one of the biggest exercises in p!ssing into the wind in football history.

Hamilton, like every other sportsman/woman, deflects the issue when things haven't gone his way. Dyche does it when we lose (as do all football managers), Eddie Jones does it when the egg-chasers lose, Joe Root does it when he loses... it's the sporting way. Also, I'd love to know on what objective ...

I could see the council buying the ground (would compulsory purchase be possible?) and leasing it to a Phoenix club in accordance with the covenant. The use of a Compulsory Purchase Order is not an option. You can't forcibly buy land or property off someone because you don't like them or their moti...

Seems slightly odd that, in such financially straitened circumstances, Bury Council has enough surplus cash to buy not just a football stadium but also a football club with significant debts.

One has earned 30m for charity and the other puts his name to Yorkshire blah blah blah... He's a proud Yorkshireman. I wish a few more people were proud of their roots. What does he actually do?

Maybe so but how much was earned from his walks. No need to compare Botham to Boycott as far as charity hard graft is concerned.

I believe the EFL, by giving 14 days' notice, is following strict protocol to ensure that there is no lengthy legal battle for years to come. Imagine the **** that would be flung at the EFL if they kicked a club out of the league having not followed its own rules.

Sausage

That’s the thing. Dale didn’t pass the fit and proper person test but he bought the club anyway. It shows the EFL have no authority whatsoever.
