Capital & Regional opposes the club’s plans because of the retail element, but the club says they are the only way forward.

One plan was for a new stadium to be built on the town centre Power Court site, alongside 550 apartments, bars, restaurants, a 1,800-capacity live venue, a hotel and a car park.
