I think it’s fair to say the council can’t be completely behind the potential stadium and training ground until planning permission is granted and various procedures are followed.
Nothing really to gain from listening to that interview as far as I’m concerned. Hilton said himself planning will take roughly 3 months before he can even take it to the council for them to counter.
As it stands though the sites have had ground testing completed already and the sites were earmarked to be built on for leisure purposes, which a stadium would provide.
Long way to go yet though. Architects drawings and planning has been lodged we will be much closer to knowing where we stand.
