But like I mentioned in another post, who will actually own the ground and surrounding area. If it is like the Keepmoat for instance, this wasn't built for just the benefit of Doncaster Rovers as they are only leasing it for their home matches, it is used for ladies football and rugby so I would suggest monies from the use of the conference facilities, leisure facilities and even concerts held there would go into a pot to try and pay off the original cost and running of the site not for the benefit of Donny Rovers. So perhaps if this could be confirmed by someone
My recollection from information given out at least a year ago the concept is that the ground would be owned by a new company, the shareholders being the club & the council. The football club would be given a 100 year+ lease at a peppercorn rent. I assume all income generated from the 'supporting facilities' would go to the new co? I may well have got the wrong end of the stick and this bottle of claret is confusing my memory??

Completely agree with this post, we would all love a new stadium, but is it REALLY going to happen? Too many ifs,buts and 'enabling' factors for my liking, i suppose any BP redevelopment is unlikely to happen because JF would have to fund a good portion of it and his plans go in different directions to that, sorry to say it, but we face at least another 8 years of non investment in BP, so god knows what it will look like and MAYBE if the circumstances are right for ''people of interest' we might get a stadium by 2023 All a bit depressing IMHO.

That is something like the idea at York I think though that the extra development there is larger. But the other snag is still the money up front and what future has to be mortgaged to get it. Someone mentioned what development could be done at BP. They could start by using the area under the Findus that was meant to be the new dressing rooms and gym.

I think the York development will be more like the Keepmoat as it will be used by the York Knights as well as York City and other sections of the community so it will not be a cash cow for the Kit Kat men alone.

That's right but I think York City has been appointed to manage all aspects of the stadium business. I don't know if that is for a flat rate fee or a percentage of the takings.

http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.....52-detail/story.htmlClub in talks with housing developer over Parkway stadium plan. They also hope a major supermarket retailer can join the squad. Contrary to popular belief, house prices go up when a new stadium is built nearby. The club hopes to create a 14,000-seater stadium which has the capacity to expand to a 20,000 seat stadium. The stadium complex could also house a health and wellbeing centre and provide education and training facilities and pitches for other sports including rugby, netball and cricket. A budget of £22 million has been allocated for the construction of the new stadium. Club bosses are working on two plans, one of which will deliver 1,488 new homes. Plan Two would create a subsidy to the club of £5 million from a retail developer and £13 million from housing if around 850 homes were built. In addition the club is expecting to secure a grant from The Football Foundation.

It just goes to show how short sighted this council is when you consider their plans for a new pool. They knew town were looking for a new ground so why not approach the club to see if their proposed new swimming pool could be incorporated in GTFC's plan? The land is already owned by the council and with the clubs intention to incorporate other business ventures it would have been a win-win situation for both parties.
