If only the builders of Bluewater had thought of that they may have had a success on their hands.

A rather unfair comparison, as Gravesend & Northfleet FC and Bluewater Shopping Centre are hardly similar ventures.

I will reserve judgement until the blueprint of the area is finalised.
The make up of the area now, is not a guarantee of how it will look in 10 years time.
Despite no definate site yet, it is forseen by the Board that the ground will be walking distance from Ebbsfleet station. Which dependant on what extra facilities it has , opens up a wide area that would and could use it.

The rest of your point is very valid. And of course, there's the whole new town planned for Ebbsfleet.

For months, I have stated my thoughts 'that a recession is coming'.
Perhaps, football attendances dipping everywhere (& they are) is an indication of my prophecy coming true, as people start to tighten their belts & the £12 entrance fee could be just high enough to make the decision for people (as other have mentioned.) A sure-fire sign of a downturn in an economy is when the public slow down on spending - shop sales are down, football attendances are down - it's all related, I think.

An interesting article that backs this train of thought.....
