Planning permission had been sorted out last year, but Tesco had made some changes to their plans and these were only approved at a meeting today. With Tesco funding the new stadium, the delays could be down to them not wanting to fully commit until they were sure they could get their new store.
However, it does make you wonder why the club said a few months ago we would see work soon when we're still waiting. This has led to igrowing concerns that we'll start next season at Love Street.
Hopefully not, but it's worth noting the relevant planning documents say the new ground must be finished before Tesco can start work at Love Street.
It will be interesting to see what happens after this latest news.
