Getting ready for the Phoenix club when we default on the mortgage payments on the SoL

 

[wigwams]

Fair point

Our new home ground when we default on the loan and the yanks bulldoze the sol to build council houses.

 

[ObserverPhil]

To replace Eppleton? We used to play reserve/U23 games here many years ago

 

[viccarlton]

why Would sunderland want to buy that???

We wouldn’t need the SoL when we’re non-league.

 

[Ashley In!!]

Will they accept payment in magic beans?

 

[MONTYMCPHAIL]

More cut backs, downsizing?

 

[Bamber]

Either to replace Eppleton for reserve and Cup games. Or to give to Madrox to build flats on and sell off.

One of these is much more likely than the other.

The op has the smell of gravy

Well need a four sided proper ground for the academy once we get back into the PL.

Nowt the matter with the place infact it's thriving more now with Durham utd playing there than the last few seasons of Durham city, I'm there weekly with the bairns training, the 4g is in good nick and durham women's team are flying, may well be truth in sunlun wanting to buy but the rest of the op is shite

That would be ”affordable housing “ mate, which the people it’s intended for can’t afford.

More likely that it will help the women's team and U23s to have a ground of their own, rather than borrowing places like Eppleton. I'd question whether Durham is a bit far from the city though.
