A non-league football club and a second tier rugby club get £3 million towards a new stadium from their local authority...
[url]https://cornwallreports.co.uk/by-69-votes-to-41-cornwall-council-gives-3-million-to-the-truro-stadium-project/#comments[/url]
Only 6k capacity but can be extended. Nice to have local authority support instead of blocking at every stage...

Was in Cornwall last week and went past the site - my colleague down there emphasised that it was a community project as opposed to a vanity project. |

Funding like that is more likely to come if we really were a community club. [cough fan owned. cough Trust]. |

Gosh it is so easy to be critical when it doesn't affect you.
I was not pointing a finger at anybody just stating a fact. I have an open field at the side of my bungalow which has plans for 200 houses, Most in the area have objected but I have not, People need to live somewhere. Half the village did not live here when we moved in I bet they were pleased we did not object then. |

It is not a vanity project, only the nimbys would say that, it is more for rugby than football though - they are fanatical about it down there - if they got in the rugby prem I could see them getting 8-10k crowds like Exeter. |

Cornwall's problem from the point of view of producing a good team in a national league (football or the other thing) is there's lots of small towns with their own clubs and identities but nothing big enough to generate the crowds and income to compete nationally. |

The massive problem is our "new stadium" is dependent on Retail outlets........Err...... retail is on its knees due to online shopping from massive distribution warehouses like Amazon who can knock goods out at prices high street retailers just can't do.
Grimsby have one of the worse records for shop closures (FACT) even high-end retail shops like Smiths gone.

Like you say , you are in the minority when it came to objections. Would you have the same attitude if it was a small business covering a large site with a large influx of visitors on 26 occasions throughout the year? Or if there was a similar sized business already there when you moved there and it's impact on the surrounding areas had increased since you moved . If they wanted to increase their business by expanding to allow more " visitors " would you still not object. |

I think the shop closure figures will be heavily weighted by the ridiculous rent that Freshney Place want to charge. I believe it was well documented that WH Smiths were operating at a profit in Grimsby but weren't prepared to tolerate the rent-hike with no real justification for it. |
