surely somewhere like Bassett or Wroughton is being considered as a "plan b" by the club. Bassett would be the best option. although out of town it is only a few minutes down the road from junction 16 so no trouble to get to for away fans. also isnt it Wiltshire County Council and not SBC at Bassett?

Bassett would be highly unlikely, they are having enough fits over a proposed expansion to the golf club and went nuts when we chose a bit of land near them for a park and ride.  Also, you still have the issue of land cost, which we can't afford and makes it much less suitable for a developer to worry about building stadiums - as any development would need some other development to fund it.

CG is pretty much the only site left, has the necessary space to make it financially viable, and involves the lowest cost.  It also receives local backing if carried out in the correct manner - as it can be made to boost the local community without taking away green space.

Surely we cant afford anything can we? overspend and all....so what do we care of the land costs more if we are going to have to tbe drip fed any potential new ground by the council?......especially if the only way they'd ever do it is if there were several other uses for the ground other than STFC so the extra costs of land would have very little impact on us directly would it? From what I understand of how these things work that is (very limited!)
