Quote Marshy1="Marshy1"I think you have jumped the gun the JGR....he hasn't submitted plans at all, what he was required to do is submit his proposals for the council to scrutinise, upon which they will give him the go ahead to submit full building plans.
You are quite correct that he did say if the green light was given he would then look at a possible purchase of Swinton. maybe then he will contact the Swinton BOM to enter into formal discussions.'"
I hope so. Swinton (as a town) has been on its ar$e for too long now. The new Asda is a start to regenerating the town centre and hopefully the Council will give MK the nod to proceed with his plans for a new stadium and other attached amenities. Would be great to bring a RL club back into the heart of the community too, as the current trend is to move them out of the area due to the lack of available land within town centres these days. It would be exciting for Swinton, I would even stick my neck on the block and say they'll double there attendance with a stadium location around the old Ambrose Barlow site. There are plenty of chimney pots in view of the proposed site, something you struggle to spot at Barton!
