@shmmeee can you fit a Championship sized football ground on here? Might need some more of the Sphinx land, but surely enough will still remain to leave them a decent pitch etc.

Just something to discuss rather than being a realistic new ground option I would imagine.

Do you mean instead of the housing, or on the grassy bit?

Instead of new housing, could the layout be reconfigured to leave Sphinx enough pitches, and build a new stadium. Looks like they are already looking to add road access points with the housing plan. I think Sphinx just rent the land.

Never going to happen. Without access to public transport links and a densely populated residential area it's a no go.

Too much weight given to housing applications to get a stadium here, i'm afraid. Even if the council didn't hate SISU!
