Re: Nene Park...
Obviously not local guys as they did not pronounce Nene Park correctly! Really interesting viewing though

Re: Nene Park...
How bizarre. I never even knew all those hospitality facilities existed in the North Stand. Sad to see it so depleted - what a waste.
Re: Nene Park...
It's more than a waste, it's downright criminal
The person / company who owns it have no interest in the ground whatsoever and every time I see the ground in its current state it makes my blood boil. I remember having a seat right near the half way line in the North Stand and was proud to be a part of it.
The ground must stay intact as far as I'm concerned and said person / company let it go.

So sad to see it in this state, I had almost forgotten what a fantastic little stadium it was and great place to watch football, some great memories of that place both watching football and helping out in the shop and stadium, it is absolutely criminal to let such a superb stadium and its facilities go to waste.

Re: Nene Park...
Nearly 1.3k views already for this video. Looking at the comments the guy who uploaded can't figure out why it's been so popular. Interesting viewing for any lower league football fan really, not just us. Hopefully it'll raise a bit of awareness for the ridiculous situation at Nene Park, I can't believe it's nearly 5 years since I set foot in there.

Re: Nene Park...
It looks in a better state than a few we've visited, including the one at Latimer Park. It needs a great deal of work and a lot of man hours, but, would be a fantastic ground for any club at NonLeague level. Volunteers required.

Re: Nene Park...
A money pit that would bankrupt us!
Had many happy years there and lots of fond memories - but that's what they are, memories! Things from the past!
The current owner/s of Nene Park are people that can't be trusted and to even suggest we look into it is madness in my opinion. They shafted us once and I'm sure would gleefully do it again. Best left alone.
Our seasons average attendance is about 450 - imagine that in a 6500 capacity stadium - soulless! We need a stadium and facilities within the reach of our pocket and more in keeping with our stature, and it will come one day. When it does it will be without getting into bed with the devil, down that path leads despair!

Re: Nene Park...
Well said. There's a reason both us and K*ttering had to leave - look at the financial issues it caused! No way we'd be able to maintain it without someone with millions to spare taking ownership of it, which goes against pretty much everything the club stands for.Pigman wrote:A money pit that would bankrupt us!
