Also I believe that Boston Utd’s new ground is council owned same as many other if the new stadiums throughout the leagues with the club as anchor tenants, the BoD would not have to fund the whole project themselves, it would require outside investment. It’s a well worn path that many clubs have had to go down I believe the council would be supportive and it could well be the centre piece of any docks redevelopment.
It just needs to will to do it and the belief that we CAN do it.

What were the reasons for it being discounted?
Honest, these things have all been discussed, never mind a marina, a community stadium as the crown jewel of docks redevelopment would serve far better to the town than a marina (who owns these yachts anyway?) etc, this debate goes back to 2007.

But that's only my understanding and regulations and the SAG, even in the last few weeks, has seen plans have to be changed.

I think, once the managerial dust is settled, the club will get going on sharing a number of matters. But aren't quite there yet because there is still a bit of firming up to do on the plans. Again, all I can do is say how hard they are all working.

Just one (and there are dozens) example is the Press Box has to find six more pitch facing seats to get up to 20. And then we have to provide a structure to house television people, a control room with CCTV, electronic turnstiles and on and on it goes. Seats for away fans, new entrances, the new fanzone, increase the height of some external walls, sort out the car park which we will need to use for visitors spaces. Better disabled facilities, better access and walkways, increased catering outlets and opportunities, New toilets. Access to walk round the ground. Running repairs to the Main Stand and under there to create new changing rooms etc by the end of the season.

And the small matter of re-roofing the Holker End and providing proper crush barriers etc.

And then there's all the usual start of the season stuff. Sponsors, season tickets, bookings and new kits and merchandise. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic.

Mostly in 2-3 months.

I also think talk of moving and various other luxuries that have been mentioned are way way way off the mark, where does the money come from? It’s got nothing to do with “mentality” or “little old Barrow” - it’s just hard cash facts.

Are all these jobs a requirement to be completed by the start of the season, as there's specific ground compliance/regulations for initial entry into the EFL, and additional rules for continued membership over a certain timescale. Think these have been shown on a particular thread in the past.
