My list is not all related to Manor Park.
I know opinion to stay or leave is split, but IMO the decision to leave was correct. Going bust was probably inevitable anyway, and given the site or Manor Park that was an asset that would have been lost. At least with Liberty Way the club and ground was pretty much inseparable (YES - I Know).

As for Manor Park. Football ground Health & Safety did not exist till Bradford and Hillsborough. Particularly with the former Manor Park was clearly not fit for purpose. Pre Bradford Manor Park was perfect for what was needed.

Easy to say "should have developed", but that would have cost money (Boro never had a sugar daddie) so how would that be financed? It would certainly had an impact on the success.

Did anyone complain seriously about the state of Manor Park during the Graham Carr or Brendon Phillips era. With the latter a lot of money was spent to get the ground back to minimum standard (Cock and Bear terrace split, Berlin Wall, perimeter fencing, Canal Side stand and making the stand safe).
