Remove 'wooden stadium plan' from the title of the thread and 'it' becomes a thread with more credibility.

I know we like to point and laugh at FGR and Vince but I agree with Buckie in that I hope they get this over the line. Their current ground is very quaint but barely up to league standards and its location though picturesque works against it also. The plans are far more interesting than the generic soulless recent builds ala Chesterfield etc.....

looks way bigger than a 5k stadium from those images.

also, why move from one 5k capacity stadium to another?

I've read it as 5K with the possibility of a further 5K should need arise probably using temporary seating. Probably wise based upon their usual home attendances

Slow day at the Guardian I venture, nothing new in the article. The whole thing is a classic case of nimbyism.
