But as with the issues raised regards Town building one too far out of the town, it then becomes virtually unusable as a facility for all levels at the club.

I know Lincoln's Youth team play from there, not sure about their younger age groups.

There's some deeply uninspiring inspirational messages: "we are imps" and "victim or fighter?" - someone should have had a think about those.


I thought that too!  'impossible is just an opinion'....and?  really quit flat messaging

'Impossible is just an opinion'.

That simply doesn't make sense. If something is impossible, it cannot be done. Hence the use of the word possible. Perhaps somebody there needs to be given a dictionary?

Have they got other gems on the wall such as 'I will always give 110%'?

Their younger age groups predominantly play their matches at Gainsborough.

As far as I'm aware, our training facility is intended to be universal in terms of incorporating the first team, academy and ladies, so in addition to Stockwoods previous comments about wanting it in the Town, it just wouldn't make sense to have this universal facility out of town as you can't ask all the local kids in the Academy age groups (particularly the younger groups) to travel miles out of town several times a week.

Can't be certain but I think the Cathedral is probably a listed building...


Very good

Quoted from Mrbump53
I have socialised with local planning officers and dealt with a number of commercial and domestic planning aspects and we will not get acceptance to rebuild and increase the main stand etc. It will not be contemplated as there would be a number of objections from local residents etc. In the shorter term "filling in" the open corners with seating or safe standing options may assist with the times that the ground approaches a "sell out"



Please clarify: are you saying the club would not get permission to rebuild BP at all, or just not increase the current capacity?

I assume the main reasons for refusal would be a lack of parking spaces and traffic congestion on matchdays.

Each planning application will be based on its merits. If clever architects design a spanking brand new main stand the full length it surely is better for residents than the ramshackle of a stand topped with barbed wire that is there now?

As regards parking, surely park and ride would solve that? I thought councils were reluctant to allow large-scale car parking in any event as cars seem to be enemy number 1.
