Training pitches? I would have thought buying GP would make more sense than building a new ground here. Surely it’s cheaper, especially as this site will almost certainly need remediation.
In principle this is very welcome news if GP is not being purchased. Be interesting to hear how much it will cost and when he expects the club to move in and use. 12 months? 24 months?
If this comes off it could be a good solution, but we’ve been in this position before with promised new stadiums. Whether it hits the ground as suggested would be another matter, and the costs will be much higher than what Swann surely wants for GP. If Hilton is doing this because he can’t afford GP, then it seems mad. Even an over-inflated price by Swann plus needed upgrades to GP would surely be cheaper than a new stadium on a site which would need environmental remediation?
