Quoted from Dan
Even with the towers coming down, the site at Freeman street isn't big enough. Plus, we 're meant to be moving out of a shithole not into one.


It would not be a shithole when the new stadium and other buildings go up.

Typical short sighted view and the reason nothing ever gets done in this town is because of this sort of attitude.

I know very little about this but surely there are huge grants available for regeneration of depressed areas from national and European funds which would apply to something like Freemo that certainly wouldnt to Peaks Parkway????

This could be totally wrong of course but maybe the same level of 'anchor' tennant wouldnt be required at Freemo??


That's how I see it.

Not sure Humberstone Avenue would be a suitable site...

Site at top end of Freeman Street is absolutely huge!

Out of interest, does anyone have a map to show where a proposed stadium could sit in the area? Would there be enough land available around where the high rise fflats are or would buildings down cleerthorpe road need to be included in the plan?

This is BP overlayed on to the site of the flats. It clearly doesn't fit without knocking down loads more buildings. Not to mentioned the fact that a new stadium would be bigger, need car parking, and an enabling development.

It's nonsense to believe it can go here without razing half the street and surrounding houses (which to be fair probably needs doing, but would be politically difficult)

That's only showing the location of one block of flats, sure there was 5 more the last time I drove past.

I don't think anyone is suggesting it would go just on the site of the flats.  The idea is from Freeman Street Market upwards to Riby Square and across to Albion Street.  

As far as I'm aware the houses surrounding the flats, Comber Place etc, are also due to be demolished.    That's an awful lot of land.  

There has been moves for god knows how many years to regenerate Freeman Street, especially the top end.  I can't imagine anyway near the level of opposition for a stadium on PP.

Peakes parkway all day long for me, Freemo would be a massive job but if it would mean a new stadium then that would do for me, although having a stadium in that part off town would cause the club and the police a hell of lot more grief then they would get on the parkway.

I fail to see how Freeman Street would solve any traffic issues?
