    I have seen the images and they look bloody amazing. Ergo there is absolutlely no way this will ever happen.

    Location is just about the only location I would ever tolerate Watford moving to. The only green space that is even vaguely walking distance from the town centre really (not counting Cassiobury Park).

    6/10 from me.

    I dare somebody to start a "New Stadium" thread, I'm not doing it.
    See how long it stays up for. ;)

    So, did HB1 post these pictures and then take them down again saying that can't be posted?

    Most disappointing, I would have liked to have thought we could be getting a new ground.
    How on earth do you manage to take down other peoples posts?

    If anyone has the pictures I'd be grateful. I've seen two but sense there are more.

    I edit other people’s posts too.

    No you don’t.

    Yes I do, stop arguing.

    To those that want to make out it’s a hoax, then I drew all the pictures myself and deleted other people’s posts to enhance the myth we are getting a new stadium.

    To the rest, the photos are genuine and the club are seriously looking to relocate.

    You can take whichever option you like.

    I have seen the pictures and they make Vicarage Rd look like Vicarage Rd.

    will never happen in Bushey. Traffic / transport is already a disaster. There's a couple of areas on the periphery of town none of which are connected by train. Based on real estate value alone, the vic will go eventually.

    Can I take the paranoia option like you?

    Only reason I asked is I wasn't sure it was you that posted them first.

    The fact that a mod is deleting them, the admin is denying everything and now you're getting all upset makes me think it's a load of old horsesh*t anyway.

    Gino won't spend more than £50 on a defender. I hardly expect him to spend spend spend on a flashy new ground for us to hate him in.

    Relatively easy to build a link to the M1 link Road from the back of Bushey Hall Golf course. Planning of course. But with a large car park with the redevelopment that could be used as a town centre park and ride on non match days might make that new bit of road more palatable to the planners. Also not difficult to run a shuttle bus service from Watford Junction/Bushey stations to the site.

    Looking at the map, the new site would be no further to walk from the Junction than Vicarage Road. Slightly closer in fact, and a hell of a lot easier to get to from the M1.

    What will cheer me up is knowing in 5 years from now, we'll all be in our new stadium at Bushey Hall Golf Club and you'll be scratching your head in the Vicarage Road hospital carpark, still in denial, thinking how the hell are well going to score past those bollards.

    I'm trying to think of someone in public life that gets as angry and knuckledraggy as you when someone doesn't automatically believe them. Can't think of any.

    Joke is, it wasn't you I was calling the ******** on, it was whoever you got the information off. But sadly, your tiny mind couldn't work that one out as usual.

    I've seen the pics and they do look impressive. Is that actually happening? I guess there must be some truth in it as the club asked for the photos to be taken down. They did build Udinese a new ground as well. How do you finance something like this?

    I'm still not sure if this is real or an elaborate forum hoax. I wouldn't mind seeing the pictures if someone has them...

    I can tell everyone for a 100% fact that it's not bull and that something is definitely going on, and that's not based on just having seen the pictures.

    I can confirm that a new stadium was quietly built and was ready but then after the recent rain, it sank. Here's a pic just after storm Ciara but before storm Dennis finished it off.

    Not the most important of points with this, but would be a good opportunity to have a signing section in a good location
