That is why they need an enabling project. I think the Council are selling the land at a favourable rate to a developer, so the question now is whether a developer thinks they can make money from building the houses and throwing in a football stadium. Extreme seemed to think they could but whether that has now changed, i have no idea.
All this is conjecture on my part, but it's always been the case the the club can't afford to pay for a new stadium, and need it to be covered by an enabling project and grants.
Still think the club should let us know either way. The last concrete thing they said was that they were 80% sure (or something around that region) that it would be going ahead. We've heard nothing since except rumour and speculation.
Sorry I meant they don't have the money even with the enabling project as far as I can see; can you realistically see a house builder who would be prepared to build a say £20 million stadium on the promise of future profits from selling the houses? Obviously it is more intricate than that, but it seems too far fetched. I totally agree with you about the club need to give us a viable update as to where the situation is at the moment.

Not directly related but just read in the Grim Tel that Sea View St is to be ‘regenerated’. Last time I looked (Saturday ) it seemed to be thriving. I’m sure there’s other areas of GY and Cleethorpes that need money spending on them before SVSt.

In any case if you regenerate Sea View street it will lose its charm-like the area round the bull ring before precinct built

Putting the new Town ground near Freeman street and regenerating the whole of that area which has needed doing for years is a great idea. Can't see a downside to the idea.. bout time the board say what's going on?

By ‘regenerate’ I think they mean put some new paving in and reduce parking to 1/3.

The Sea View St thing just smacks of someone trying to coat tail onto the success the traders down there have had in turning things around.

I now await a 12 page thread as to why building the new stadium in Seaview St isn't feasible It would be interesting when we were kicking 'downhill'

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' |

Bet you a tenner it does.
Just out of interest (and I might be putting 2 and 2 together to get 5 here), but does the location for your new brewery tap have anything to do with some yet to be announced regeneration plans around Freeman Street? It's a little bit out of the way of everything at the moment (I mean i'm still looking forward to visiting regardless of that!), but obviously if there was to be a big regeneration project around Freeman Street or the docks which included a new stadium, Docks Beers would be right in proximity to it all. Was that a factor at all in the site choice? Totally understand if you're not able to comment on this!

My confidence in this happening is just based on rumours I've heard plus the fact it's the only site that seems universally popular and is available. None of it is linked to the new brewery but yeah it would be good for a lot of businesses in that area.
