If this project really wanted to add value use it as a way to breathe life into the Freemo area. Think what difference it could make as not just a football hub or multi sports facility, but as a commercial enterprise, health centre, kids crèche for working mums, youth centre etc.. etc... the football club could be the catalyst for change in one of the most challenging areas of the Town, a legacy like that would trump anything the Scunts could do for starters!

Mainly with the fact half the stadium is a listed building, there will be no re-development...


It probably should be, but I don't think it is - https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/map-search

Ahh... did that come out on RH, thought something was brewing but not close enough to local media to know what/when.

Swann’s probably p1ssed off as it will cost him more personally now.

Imagine pumping £4.9M of your wife’s money into Scunthorpe flipping United’s new stadium project on top of the rumoured £350k per month for the wage bill.

So the main stand is a listed building - really ? - it’s a fooking eyesore ! If we ever move from BP then I give it a life expectancy of about a week before someone calls 999 . I’m pretty sure any developer would quite happily accidentally leave a gate unlocked to see it gone and turned into a pile of ashes

So if houses were to be built on the site,

The kids would have a big play area at the bottom of their gardens.

Why? What historical value does a football ground have? Except to club supporters of which there is a minority even in the local area it doesn't seem to have any historic reason to remain untouched. Should have knocked it down years ago and built a better stand.

I heard today that Scunny's plans to move to their new home have now been shelved and they are redeveloping Glumford Park instead. Also they are fighting to have all their associated costs with the project to date re-imbursed.
