    the road infrastructure that would be needed for the proposed new ground

    imo makes a new ground where its getting planned an absolute non starter

    had a yap with a mate today about what would be needed and after listening i must agree that the road infrastructure cost would be huge.

    just think what would be required to get traffic in and out every 2nd week

    surely the yanks have done their homework on this and id love to see their plan/cost projection for the road layout,happy to be proven wrong

    Maybe best waiting for the full plans to come out shaded,so you can see the road plans. I get your scepticism though of course I do, but I personally think it's more possible to happen than any other previous pie in the sky plans of new stadia in the city that were presented before. The purchase of land is a big big start in my slight optimism.

    Cannae believe anyone would spend nearly 2m on land for a stadium without having preliminary discussions on the planning requirements and conditions beforehand.

    Homework's been done and planning is a good bit more advanced than is being made public. Roads and council in on things right from the start.

    Deeranged, it was an interesting statement by Nelms when he said the council asked if we would let the Dabs play at the new stadium.Any idea what is behind that ?

    No. I did hear that they asked about it a while back but couldn't tell you what the driver for it was.

    Just think it's strange it was the council that asked if we would let them use the new stadium ? Onyhow
