I was looking at Boston United new ground, the Jakemans Community Stadium which opened around 2020 and looks a cracking little ground, which is basically one very well equipped main grandstand and covered terracing and that cost £12 million !! I think it has a 6,000 capacity There's a video showing how the work is progressing, can't help but think something along these lines would be ideal. I think the end that is still to be completed is a sports hall https://www.bostonunited.co.uk/news/video--community-stadium-latest-2589592.html That looks great. I would be very happy with something like this 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The field of play is nearer the spectators that creates the atmosphere. DP is nearer now - since they done away with speedway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Well on Sunday it was great viewing the match at Dewsbury from the popular side, terracing like that would be good. Was cold though in the shade. I think that's a cracking wee ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time i saw it i thought " well they've got no ambition i wouldn't be happy with that" but having heard some of the possible scenarios for our stadium i'd be quite happy with it now.

I genuinely feel for our neighbours 7 miles down the road, as they were in a similar position to us, with broken promises in regards to the Pow Beck redevelopment a few years ago, and its hard to see how they will be able to redevelop the Rec without serious outside sponsorship. Let's hope our scheme goes ahead or I really fear for our long term survival 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said before on this thread, we don't need to build 4 stands at first- make sure the main stand is a good standard with bars, club shop etc in. Add in a full length popular side with a roof then maybe 1 small stand behind one of the ends. That way we can increase capacity later and we don't spend all the money on 4 stands - leaving the money spent on 3 decent stands to kick us off.

The full development was based on SUFC ladies playing there which went out of the window when the owners of the football club (one of which owns the development company and subsequently lost a court case) fell out. The Eagles are also only tenants renting a share of a community stadium with a 5 year lease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts please I dont think it has much relevance to our proposed new stadium really. Its not their stadium, they are tenants. It cost half what we are looking to spend, they will gain very little income from the commercial side (if any thing at all) and I expect they had very little say in the design.

townie88 Posted Thursday at 09:36 Share Posted Thursday at 09:36 Just been reading that he government have now approved the funds for the town deal, £23.1m. Does this now provide us with the missing money to actually get this off the gorund? Concerning thing when reading on Allerdale's website was that this now enables the projects to enter 'detailed design' stage. Had we not already entered detailed design? If not, could be a while yet until a spade is in the gorund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
