Does anyone know where this is, seeing as they haven't demolished the
old stadium?


I believe it is on the site of the stadium "overflow" car park across
the road from the stadium itself. It's between the church at the
Billet and the road round to Sainsbury's / Holiday Inn Express.

I'm slightly surprised to see a date as I was not aware that planning
approval for the change of use had been granted by the council. There
was certainly some local opposition if local newspaper headlines were
anything to go by.

I'd be pretty surprised if anything happens by next month given that there
is nothing other than windswept wasteland of weed strewn asphalt at the site
of the old carpark at the moment.

no building work as of last week, when I passed it on the way to
Morrisons ?
