Ive looked at the pictures and I don't see a sports stadium anywhere ?
Is it a 55 million pound scheme or 300 million ? Seems to me that somebody is just putting ideas out there and looking for reactions !!

BEC is owned by the NDA and Copeland, Allerdale & Cumbria County Councils. From what I gather they are state sponsored property developers with the difference of building what is needed rather than what is going to make them as much profit as possible.

I believe the stadium that can be seen is simply an artists impression and not (current ) plans. Artist/architect perhaps got a little carried away when suggested some form of sporting facility could be incorporated.

Who knows, with enough persuasion, something may be worked out BUT with current fan numbers through the turnstiles nobody is going to want to build anything  :'(

need to spend it on getting shops open and getting the town tidied up the rubbish laying around the civic hall is ridiculous.
