You missed out that we got the planning permission to build at Great Coates and it was the club /JF that decided not to pursue that site and look elsewhere instead......all previous hold ups where as a result of the due process that the council had to follow.

Again...it always comes back to the fact that WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY to move ourselves, we are over reliant on an enabling development / partners to make it happen.

Have the historical councils been previously pro active?... no i dont think they have....the current council set up seems to have been more helpful with the PP site though.

Personally i cannot believe that the council and other agencies couldnt be brought together to raise a case for the development of the East Marsh/Freeman St area.Wwhen you have one of the UK's highest ranking  areas of deprivation then surely external funding could be tapped in to redevelop the whole area alongside a "community stadium".  Timescales would probably be the downside to this but then again.....1988 was it that we started considering moving ??



I was told around a year ago by someone I regards as ITK that PP was a done deal and it would go ahead.However time as marched on and were still waiting for this to start I am sure 3-4k of us would go down there armed with a shovel ea and dig the footings if we could.FFS build it

Page 828 Para 3,  does indicate that Haile Sands Fort would be the most kayak, boat, helicopter friendly location for a stadium.


I heard there's some rare saltwater Newts living on Haile Sands, no go I'm afraid, it seems we'll never get our ground...



* It's amazing to think this parodying of the situation isn't too far removed from the real thing. How hard is it to find a LOCATION for a ground, much less get it built???

Seriously, not another thread debating the location of the new stadium?
Seriously, not more posts criticising the council for the lack of action?

The site for the new stadium has been decided. Its Peaks Parkway.
The process is ongoing.
The club and the enabling company have submitted outline viability and it was accepted by the council.
The club and the enabling company will be presenting detailed viability in the next few weeks.
When the council sign this off then it will go to the planning stage, which should take 1 year.
Once planning has been accepted (Considering the NIMBY's objections) it can be built.

This has always been the process.
The next we will all hear is that detailed viability has been submitted. Then probably nothing for another year.
We must continue to be patient. At least we have a plan and a process. Bristol Rovers recently gave up on a new ground after a similar experience to ours. We have a council that is backing the move, we will get the stadium.

Much better site for a football ground. The housing at PP could still be the enabling development to raise the cash for a Stadium elsewhere. I'm sure the residents of Peaks Parkway would be thrilled.

Smuggling smoke bombs I believe  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

The longer it goes on, and the lack of information just sums the whole farce up. We can't redevelop BP so it's a non brainer, we have to move.

At this rate, we'll be calling ch4 up for a one off programme of stadium relocation relocation relocation

If we build it by the water, the dogsh1t will be replaced by birdsh1t from all the geese and swans. Still, it will give the Lincoln fans an excuse not to attend.

On a more serious note, i can't see there being much appetite among the great and good for a football stadium that close to the centre of town.

But that case, and our never-ending proposal review isn't the norm. We need to query and if need be, to complain. Other stadiums have gone up, and continue to be built each year. It seems a relatively easy process.
