Sites identified for community stadium
City of York council today released the proposed sites and possible financial models for the community stadium. We welcome this move.
A summary has been issued that outlines the main conclusions. A full 100 page document has been promised. It will appear here – along with our analysis – as soon as it is available.
The four proposed locations for the community stadium
The report offers four options: redevelopment of Bootham Crescent, a new stadium on the current Huntington site or fresh projects on either Hull Road or the former Nestle site. Locations of these sites can be seen below. Jason McGill, chairman of York City FC, has come out of heavily in support of building a new stadium on the existing Monks Cross site. All the sites have their strengths and weaknesses – but the focus must be on building a new ground as soon as possible, wherever it may be.
The report will be put to a vote of the Council Executive on Tuesday 6 July. This makes the next ten days some of most important in the city’s sporting history. We will be posting details of how you can help the campaign as it enters a crucial phase. We need as many people as possible to analyse the council’s report – if you spot any glaring issues then please post them in the comments.
