I've been saying this off and on for many years now but ... as long as Bedford stay out at the Abattoir they are doomed to failure. I know many people drive to games nowadays but we are losing at least 100 every game beng in the middle of nowhere. AND the perfect space is STILL waiting for us on Old Ford Road. (Just look at it on Google Sateilite .. and you can still see the Ford Road End shed roof!)  Apparently that derelict site is zoned for 'leisure' so it's perfect. I suspect there are too many people who have put too much into the Abattor for it to ever happen but then the Eagles will never flt properly as i remember them, again. Someone will mention R&D but they at least had support from two clubs AND a millionaire backer. We are averaging less than 300!!! There is no way we can compete like that. We'd be better off at the Athlectics Track or even back in at Old Ford End Road Park! We got 1500 there for the Derby.

Anyway that's what I think. I respect those who restarted and have kept the Eagles running for the past years but to me, it's not my Eagles out there, and they will never compete out there.

Bring the Eagles Back to Bedford!

I did raise this point last year with my local councilor,  The old gas works site would be perfect,  but his first reaction was what about all the traffic.  I did not take my point that if the club was "In Town" it would not generate much traffic.  In fact it seems that any development in Queen's Park is doomed due the the spectre of "Traffic"  

Lets hope that the development of land at the rear of Cardington Hangers produces a community in that area of East Bedford, who in years to come will thing of The Eagles as their community club, in the same way that us people in Queen's Park used to think about the "Old " Eagles.

But knowing moden politicians when the houses reach the club the club will have to move further out,  maybe merge with Sandy Albion.

nice idear to put the club back in the town, but queens park, no. yes we only have 250 - 300 for each game but not that long ago we were getting 600 plus. lack of ambition finances and poor resaults are what stop people coming, i should know i`m one. I dont have the answers and with the state of the economy, i dont see things improving but theres always hope.  who knows i may even return myself. apart from that come on you eagles.
