It was never, ever going to happen a some of us called from the start, no realistic plan as to how it was going to be financed, it was a pie in the sky dream by a dreamer that can’t even open a hotel in a seaside resort let alone build a state of the art stadium in a steel town in North Lincolnshire!
Those that ridiculed me and others at the time are noticeable by their absence now!
One of the now biggest critics of Swann on here threatened to grass me up for a comment I made about him on here about 3-4 years ago. Irony is, he now comes out more potentially libellous comments than I do. Whatever. The post above has just reminded me of that episode. How times and mindsets change.

I often said to Foxstreetfiveseven who posts on here even in the times when we were at the top end of league 1 that it would never happen in our lifetime, I do think though that he was trying to build a new Stadium or he wouldn’t have brought Rodwell here but the Council and Highways caused too many problems, but I don’t think his intentions where all football related and it was the extras like housing and apartments plus the sale of Glanford Park and the bonus football wise would have been the Championship, but when we lost to Rotherham the dream disappeared, and when we had problems with the council and he decided he would redevelop our current ground and the cost cutting started and fans lost faith in him with being relegated from league 1 when it should have been impossible with 15 games to go going down to league 2 made the cost cutting impossible to run a league team, I know he keeps bringing up Covid as a excuse but I think he is being genuine to a extent because that season we still had a u23 squad who didn’t even play games so must have cost a lot of money to run, but now it’s about time he cut his losses and sells for his own and supporters sake.

The Lincolnshire Lakes ground development didn’t feature any housing, if I remember rightly, it was all about retail & a hotel I think.
It always seemed ambitious and so it proved.

Will we “Fade To Grey” in the NL?
Or, are we so colourless that we have Faded To Achromatic?
