Quoted from realist
Because the club has no money and relies on developers to fund it. Thry in turn want a prime site to maximise their profits. Unfortunately these sites are unsuitable for football stadium and the large scale development required.  If the club had been run better it might have been able to go a more independent route with less objections.
i think this will be pointless though because with the current business and football management teams we will be back in the conference next year


So have lots of the other clubs. Best example I can think of was Bolton.

Mind you I should have known this was just another excuse to have a go at the club..


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Folks

I am sorry, but this is not a perfect world.

You have the choice..... wait for the perfect choice at Great Coates....... or accept what's on offer.

If you are in need of a heart transplant to survive, you accept what's on offer NOW!

Realist, where would you put the new ground and how would that be financed?

I'm genuinely interested, as I would really love to see the ground in the Town centre and enabling the redevelopment of the centre or somewhere like Freeman Street.  It would be accessible by public transport and on foot/bike.  

The problem I have is that I'm not sure how all that is possible in a way that gets the developer investment.  Is it possible to physically de-couple the stadium and retail/residential development so a developer can still get land and we still get a ground, just not at the same place?

Swansea mariner. If you live in Wales get lost.  This proposal will have profound effects on locals. It is so easy for you to spout garbage and be inaffected by the outcome

I live very close to the proposed site and am very much in favour. I much prefer PP to Freemo or the docks.

I think it gives the area a chance to build something special for our children and grandchildren, something we can be proud of. New housing, new sporting facilities for the community, new jobs & a new ground for GTFC,

Ideal place within easy walking and cycling distance of huge numbers of people in NE Lincs.

Don't believe everyone in Park Ward is against, many are in favour especially those who don't swallow DeFrietas's propaganda

Unfortunately Hackney even if you decouple the enabling development from the community stadium, Freeman street is still to small (3.24 hecters short) without additional compusory land takes, which are held my multiple ownerships. That's what the consults call a baseline development, which is not a functional stadium as there is no circulation or drainage space included. So we cannot get even the most basic development in there it virtually impossible.
