what is the news on the fife moving to a new ground is it still possible.

I've been wondering that too

Same.

Me tae.

The situation remains the same as before.

The new ground project at this stage is entirely in the hands of Muir Developments and the club will not become involved until the planning issues are resolved.

What are the planning issues?

Maybe it's time to ditch the proposal with Muir and seek another partner unless it is the council planning who are to blame for the ongoing lenghty delays?

It ain`t happening

Correct

New ground? New players please, or a smaller ground will be required for next season's third division campaign

Eugene, did the programme from last years boxing day game, that went off and was played in Feb, not say this was a no go?

I remember asking why it had taken 2 months for anything to come out?

Either way, prefer monies to be used for players than stadium plans just now!

Aye Savoy Pitches would suit you lot.

aken we could fit all your supporters in the goals...

Mike you're correct.

The new ground was never an initiative of the club, it was a proposal we had been asked to consider by Muir who were looking to create a major development at the site. We had absolutely no involvement in or control over the process, which made it impossible for us to know or comment on what was happening.

The club approach was that when everything had been completed and we were able to move into a new stadium, we would swap land.
Unfortunately the developer could not get the apporpriate planning permissions.

I thought Bayview looked a bit untidy today. Weeds behind the goals and general clutter all over the place. I know I will probably be told to volunteer but surely someone at the Club should be keeping on top of this. If it gets any worse the place will look like Coatbridge or Cowdenbeath.

durie asked the old groundsman david to take up his post again during the week, so pitch will be fine in no time

Excellent - it looked like for some reason things were being neglected.

I look forward to seeing the improvement.

Cover it with terracing, problem solved!!!

Not the pitch so much as the general surroundings. Looked like a building site in places and the weeds made it look like it the track hadn't been touched at all over the summer.

This was the original point I was trying to make.

I assume someone at the Club is going to take responsibility to tidy the place up a bit.

I`m sure if you contact the club they will be delighted to let you help out.

swap the ground for a train station thats on hold too instead of building houses by muir developments near the docks and use what we get from the council to go and build a brand new ground elsewhere in the levenmouth area that can be compared to the old bayview that we had. Seems right to me, fans wont moan and we can hold a game with rangers maybe next season in our ground

This is the kind of thinking we need at Bayview. I know it's not my idea originally but if we could swap for a station I would go for Waverley station and build a new ground(with a wee bit of uncovered terracing) in Princes Street Gardens.
The ground would need to have several smelly toilets and a couple of pie stalls so that the "old Bayview " look would be complete.
Visionary is the only way to describe Why Not?'s plan.
