    NB. Doubt it would ever be granted to be used for house building either considering the industrial scrapyard next to it.
    Don’t know about that Brin but Millmoor has had a covenant on it for recreational use before Stone was born.

    There was once a hoo-har about C F Booth wanting to temporarily store old railway stock on the pitch before they recycled them. Maybe the council planning meeting was about that ?

    I do know that they applied for and were allowed to store the old London tube trains on the large car park at the side of the ground. that was about two years ago.

    Didn't one of the Railway companies gift the land, where Millmoor is now, to the club, but it could only ever be used for Sport/Recreational
    sports. County and town merged into United in 1925, so whatever was said then has stood the test of time( and Booths) very well, so far.
