Fair enough.An explanation has been given on it, not sure if it was the Trust that did, might have been.
What was the excuse for not considering it at the time?

Loads of missed opportunities from our time in the premier league.If they didn't open it up for the glory years the ain't opening it up anytime soon now.
Can’t remember, I’ve just tried searching for it but can’t see anything from the Trust, so may have got that wrong.Fair enough.

I would imagine having a train stop which is used by a relative few people once a fortnight is prohibitively expensive.
I can vaguely remember it being a discussion point back in the day.Can’t remember, I’ve just tried searching for it but can’t see anything from the Trust, so may have got that wrong.
The station is already there and it's not like a new one needs building from scratch.It'll get more footfall than some of the other mooted stations. Winch Wen for example....
They could build a Christ the Redeemer statue on the hill at the same time, it’ll bring plenty of comfort etcPerhaps they'll open Landore station up when the zipwire gets built up Kilvey Hill![]()
Scrap that, just zipwire straight in to your seat from Kilvey HillPerhaps they'll open Landore station up when the zipwire gets built up Kilvey Hill![]()
Brighton are a perfect example, think their stadium originally opened with a capacity of around what ours is, now it's about 30,000 . Don't understand Bournemouth , a brilliant team and manager but barely 12,000 can watch them. Loads of fans must be missing out there.Loads of missed opportunities from our time in the premier league.
I always forget how small Bournemouths stadium actually is. It is quite incredible how they manage to hold their own in the top league.Brighton are a perfect example, think their stadium originally opened with a capacity of around what ours is, now it's about 30,000 .

Do you know if they've got plans to build a new one?
Just found this.I'm not sure .
“Mooted” being the operative word thereIt'll get more footfall than some of the other mooted stations. Winch Wen for example....
I think match day income is a relatively small part of Premier League club income. This is the big complaint about Premier League versus Bundesliga where they sell match day tickets for £20 in an effort to support fan welfare. Whereas rip off Britain tries to charge fans £5 for a bottle of Pepsi, and you can’t even take the top home!I always forget how small Bournemouths stadium actually is.
