They have been trying for years to secure land or a different venue.You've have to be joking if you think they will want anything to do with Northside.They will leave what’s left of Workington fans to sort that out.( not many judging by their Championship winning season). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been ideal vey close links to the M8 and M9 Edinburgh city bypass for the A1 , Edinburgh Airport right next door and the trams a stones throw away for the City Centre. Don’t think the City Council were overly keen on the idea from what I vaguely recall was said at the time , Shame as it is in a cracking location for all transport links. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planes landing all day n night fine, 4 bikes for 90 minutes once a week no that's just too much. Good old council logic 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightly so If there is any Promotion that can pull a rabbit out the hat it is the Edinburgh Promotion. I would be astonished if they haven’t even explored the option of using Ashfield If everything else has been exhausted at least it buy’s them some leeway on timescale.

I’d happily go along, pay and support the promotion if they do that, but it does seem very unlikely. It’s just too far to get enough fans to travel regularly, before you take anything else into account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discussed this on Friday and I think one thing that would make this tricky is the Friday night thing. We’d have to find another afternoon/evening which might prevent a move back to Fridays when a permanent home is hopefully found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look like missing 23 which makes I believe Scunthorpe then Glasgow the Friday priority tracks. If Oxford then say they want to try Fridays next season then when (hopefully) Edinburgh come back then Friday may not be an option. Feels a bit like Glasgow in 97, we had to go with Sundays as lost Friday's when missed the 96 season. And as my old man's forever telling me Friday was our night they stole it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the continuity would have been priority and worry about the Friday night issue when the time comes. The other thing that might be a consideration is that we may move up which has been rumoured which means we would have to change to a Monday and/or Thursday although this has been rumoured before.
