I wouldn't worry about it mate. We will never move to a new stadium. Town will be at BP until Fenty finally kills the club.

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

The Bristol Rovers Plan collapsed after Sainsburys pulled out of being the anchor tenant.
What makes the Peakes Parkway plan attractive is that Town don't have to buy the land. The holding company buy it and rent it to Town for a peppercorn rent. They build their houses on the rest of the plot.
If we were to build on Garth Lane we would have to buy the land to build on it since it isn't a big enough plot for a housing company to build enough houses to make it viable. The cost of the land pushes it out of our reach..

I also think that the council are selling the land at a more favourable price than ABP will be selling theirs. I think it's PP or bust myself.

I think the council should get some shares out of it. Little value now but if the club does become successful the council should get some payback.

The council will benefit from the initial influx of cash, get some much needed housing stock into the area, and of course, hundreds of houses chucking in at least a grand or more each in council tax.

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.When 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 ??
It wasn't that. It was the owner of the land decided he/it (think it was some sort of estate) no longer wanted to sell the land to be used as a football stadium.

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
Or the worst ever episode of Grand Designs. The one that gets stuck in an endless loop of planning problems, followed by the money running out, followed by new planning problems......

Grand Designs tends to follow people with loadsamoney on an ego trip. Not something our club is guilty of in general.

Sutton Estates if memory serves me correctly, the Natural England group also lodged a concern about wild life. Peaks parkway seems to be the best viable option. Garth lane would mean away fans coming into the town centre via Alexander Road not ideal and the other way Deansgate Bridge is a nightmare on Saturday afternoons as it is.

Until I read the thread, I thought we had just signed another midfielder.
