Looks like GTFC have no interest in moving to a new stadium.
The story seems to have slipped out with no supporting comment from the club.
Not surprised about the decision but thought the club would have wanted to make an official comment about it if true.

If you'd listened closely to Andrew and Jason's comments over the last 18 months you'd of realised a new stadium has never been on their agenda . New training ground ,  improving BP and the playing budget are their immediate priority.

We do need a new ground. There’s no other way we can compete in the long term with the countless clubs who have moved ahead of us in the 30 or so years since the Taylor Report.

I’m talking about teams like Doncaster, Rotherham, Hull, Reading, Cardiff, Swansea, Stoke, Bolton, Wigan, Brighton, Millwall and other clubs who have rebuilt their existing stadiums in that time too. The clubs we once competed with and were well above in the football league.

While we remain at BP we will always be small fish unable to compete. We need a new stadium.

Long term and not the priority, as long as you haven’t been living under a rock for the last 12 months the board have been clear on this.

On a weekend when we’re about to play arguably our biggest cup game since before the 2nd world war I’m amazed why this has been dredged up again now.

Why not just enjoy this weekend, there will be ample time to be critical whenever we get knocked out!

Interview with  council leader on  Freeman St generally just regurgitating an old rejection of site under previous regime. Not new news at all. Of course we need a new ground but was never likely to be Freeman Street

Went to the MKM for the first time this week, I know this is a good one but what a different experience. I see we will never be able to afford a new ground but it will always be a terribly limiting factor for the club utm

This. Although, we can compete at this level at BP, but a new stadium is a must beyond the short term. Everybody knows that.

Hopefully, we'll get one by 2030.
