I've tried to book hotels for business and mid week games and unless you want to stay at the St James or something where price does not match value then it can be a challenge. Also some may think a venue for a 1,000 people is an odd choice but looking at the diversity of businesses in the are and no doubt the despite to attract more it seems like there is a lack of this type of thing too.

Let's hope it goes ahead and brings some money into the town. You can imagine some away fans fancying a night out in Cleethorpes during the warmer months might be happy to stay there as it's not too far from the ground (assuming the Premier Inns/Travelodges are full!).

I reckon nothing will happen, if ever, for at least 5 years Could well be right. With interest rates ridiculously high at present (because the BoE is stupidly desperate to drive the country into recession), unless Shutes & Co are self-funding, it will cost them a fortune to borrow the money for construction. It might be worth sitting on it for a year or two as the BoE will have no option but to cut rates once the recession begins. It just depends how quickly they drop them. Not quickly enough, is my guess.
