Found this tweet on Twitter have to agree think the Mem has hampered our efforts in the transfer market.

It must have some bearing on some signings surely. Even if the stadium has been given the go ahead behind the scenes a player will look and think, umm two years A lot could go wrong and I may not here , so yes I think it's probably caused DC a bit of an headache

I dunno, I look at some of the other sh**-tips that decent players play in. Can't all be down to the stadium. Depends on the calibre of signing though I guess

Am I missing something? I can't see that that tweet refers to the mem at all let alone it hampering our signings.

There's only one tweet posted. 1 Richard Of The Wood Richard Of The Wood eastvilleern· 30 Jul He said a couple of deals were close, but also said getting players has been hampered because of the state of the Men which is obvious 😇#Utg |

Gotcha.
Well ... If the Gaffer has said it I guess he would know best. I know when the UWE plans came out there was a lot of internal talk of how that would attract players.

I think the progress from Conference to top 10 L1 in three seasons, one of the best young managers in the Country, a seemingly likeable, affable owner and a decent back room staff may have won a couple over. If you're just looking at the building you're going to be working in, maybe your heart was never in it?

It all comes down to wages; no player is going to arrive at the MEM and the training facilities and say where do I sign, its all about the money.

I guess it's the bigger picture, players perhaps feel crap stadium = crap club, looking beyond the comments does this also mean there's no prospect of the UWE starting this year, or do players only look a season or two ahead? |

Pay them enough and they will sign. They can play football in lots of pretty away grounds for as long as we're in a decent league.
Besides, I think players would likely rather play in a tatty ground in front of 9k than a new stadium in front of 5k

Little bit of subject, and it's be mentioned a couple of times already..... Went to the mem today for the first time since the end of the season, and the pitch looks totally outstanding... It's good enough to play crown green bowls on!!!
Bought the away shirt which looks very nice, apparently selling like hot cakes!
