Front page of the adver today has pictures of the proposed ground, and the council has asked the club to think again, ie it ain't happening. Couldn't see anymore as I walked past the news stand, but anyone who can shed light on it go ahead.

No, I never expected it to happen, the council legally can't give us things on the cheap, and we've got no money. So unless a rich man or a joint venture can be found its scuppered from day 1. That said to have it confirmed is still bad news.

It won't be on the adver site for a while yet, I just saw it all over the front pages as I walked through the station.

Don't get carried away with the Adver hype - all this is is that the club's current proposals are unrealistic and won't work. It doesn't mean that the whole idea of a redevelopment is unworkable, just that they need to go back to the drawing board and come up with some more sensible proposals (and financial figures).

Having just read the article and seen the plans put forward I must say its hardly suprising that theses plans have been rejected.The proposed green space that was supposed to be left isnt there,its taken up with starter homes.
The legal issues of giving the club the land around the CG to build houses on to fund 1/2 the stadium are a major concern.
My biggest worry is that with all the councillers rejecting the proposal Mark Devlins comment is 'we still feel this proposal will go ahead' Talk about sticking your head in the sand.
Im afraid the chances of the club dieing or relocating are higher than ever getting a new ground in this borough.
