The final plans for the docks by Tom Shutes include a swimming pool but NO stadium for the mariners. So regardless of positive thoughts on the site, it's not going to happen.

Did I hear right, a public open air swimming pool.

I used to work on Pneumonia fish dock down there, the clue is in the name.

Wow, sounds absolutely rubbish. The Town needs something like what Liverpool did with the docks, not a swimming pool and salt Marsh. Would anybody travel to visit this?

Freemo not happening, Docks not happening. Its depressing thinking there is no plan for a new ground when there are clear opportunities in brilliant locations.

Sounds amazing. Look at places like Copenhagen where open water swimming is a big part of the culture, lots of people are bang into it.

This is only a planning application, doesn't mean anything is or isn't happening yet.

It's disappointing that another opportunity appears to have slipped by.

Although it would have been an iconic statement, I never thought town having a new ground on the docks would work. There would be far too many issues with security, road access and the fact that ABP own the land.
