I'm neither a roads engineer nor town planner. Neither do I believe for one minute that discussion is relevant.

However, from my amateur stand point, you get traffic off the arterial route - like at McDairmid - then manage it from there. Kingsway is a dual carriageway, do what they did at Balado for T In The Park and extend the slip road by splitting the traffic well in advance of the new slip road, football traffic only in left lane and through traffic in right. Sequence the lights at the Myrekirk Circle intelligently to allow the traffic travelling east to west to flow into the filter lane.

Dont get sucked into thinking there will be a new stadium.

Literally the mootest of all moot points

Sorry Deeranged. I was trying to see if there was a real chance of the stadium getting the road issue sorted. It seems to me to be a problem and given the changes that appear to be happening in retail a activity it might be that a change of plan is required. Buy back Dens might actually be a better plan?

Dens redevelopment is the best option right now for me. They used the age old excuse of 'we don't know what we'll find when we did out the south banking' to withdraw from the Dens buy back promise but that's just shoite. If there was a toxicity problem it would be 100% known by now and would have had to have been addressed. There is however absolutely zero toxic material buried under The Derry.

Might be a couple of bodies mind.

Unfortunately I'm coming round to RRoS' view and think Tannadice will be our home at some point in the not too distant

How do you make Dens pay from maybe 90 minutes of football a fortnight ,St Johnstone is used every day for meals/conference facilities/funeral wakes,work colleague is a die hard Don and said that Pittodrie was massively oversubscribed for hospitality but the new stadium will meet the demand ,Hertz knocked down their old Archibald Leitch stand to provide modern facilities to up income ,can’t see it happening to Dens and why would you ,I have had some of the best times of my life in the Derry but the place is done...

Bulldoze it, more than enough space to stick anything you'd want on there to make money 7 days per week.

Genuinely intrigued what you think would make money 7 days a week on the Hilltown , not exactly prime retail estate....

Prime real estate? Not talking houses mate. Three floors with a stand on the front of it and the club occupying one floor.

A gym, a conference centre, hospitality suites, funeral receptions, wedding receptions, birthday parties................ the list goes on. There is a massive square footage there multiplied by three. Imagination could result in pretty much anything.

Not an ice rink though.
