New Houses Opposite Rams

[Hugh Jarce]

Like it or not (and I don't) the Barratt Houses to be built (260 of them) opposite the Rams Stadium will potentially provide new supporters.

I hope plans will be made to encourage them to the games (if we ever have any)

The Club will be looking at this as a positive I guess.

I’m not in favour of the plans either but hopefully the club can gain additional support from the new residents.

What about the club opening up somewhere at the ground selling decent coffee,food & drinks near to the Beaumont terrace or South Stand so that it’s visible from the road side?

I know the truck stop the club opened some years ago failed but an outlet done correctly with some improved access to the stadium and visibility from the road would do really well. Considering the huge amount of new footfall from the existing and new proposed housing estates it could be a great extra income stream for the club.

Forgot to mention the large number of building contractors who’ll be working onsite and the passing traffic on what will be an even busier road.

They won't need to buy season tickets. The way that the houses will be positioned  and the steep angle of the land overlooking the ground, means that they'll just need to go into their bedrooms, look out of the window and watch the game for free. Quite handy, especially if it's a cold day.

That is sure to add £10k to the prices of those houses in such a prime position.

Well im not sure if this good news or bad news. 

At least over 520 potential new customers, friends, family to bring along sounds great news

Now unfortunately the reality check

Bywell Rd & Canterbury Estate currently under invasion from people that have historically virtually no interest in Rugby league, so 50% of the new potential customers might never walk through the door. 

This scenario has of new builds on our doorstep has happened twice, with the flats bottom of Windsor Road on the old pit baths site, and more recently on the old tip site, these 2 potential new customer hot spots yielded very little support and now thru complaining about noise, night games, car boot, football, tannoy are a bit of a pain in the a.Ss

So what will it be?? 

260 potential customers

Or

260 more moaners about the rugby ground?? 

We will wait and see

But they won't be eating at the new Mcdonalds
