If you mean fire, cross laminated timber and Glulam (presumably what they'd be using here) have excellent fire resisting properties - often better than steel depending on the situation. ot convinced by the 'all wooden stadium' claim however. Will be interested to see the toilets.

I won’t claim to be an expert but I’m not sure that’s true at all.

I should’ve emphasised ‘depending’ because there are a million and one factors to be considered (which I also can’t claim to be an expert upon) but certain modern wood based forms of construction are far from being tinderboxes these days.

Club Statement: Fans’ Forum | Scunthorpe United FC

We would like to thank everybody that attended the forum yesterday evening it was great to see you all.

The two recently acquired sites at Warren Road and Glebe Road were then discussed and Mr Hilton confirmed that, subject to the relevant planning consents, a new stadium will be erected and hopefully completed in time for the start of the 2025-26 season. Civil contractors, stadium construction experts, architects and various surveyors have all been instructed and a comprehensive ground testing survey has already been provided to the relevant parties. He confirmed that North Lincolnshire Council are extremely supportive of the potential development and are working closely with the club to ensure things happen quickly. Enabling development, potentially retail, will be key to the application to help fund the new stadium and it was explained that this was the reason for acquiring both sites. The government levelling up fund is also to be discussed and many more options that are not open to a Glanford Park modernisation. Mr Hilton has also confirmed that the amount of personally allocated funds will obviously rise significantly. Long term he feels the move is in the best interests of the club and supporters.

Blimey why on earth do they need a new stadium? The current one must only be 30 odd years old and was quite tidy the last time I went.

Does the club own it?

They may feel selling off the current stadium and building something smaller, but with more non-match day revenue opportunities is better financially.

Scarborough planned something similar, but the council weren't on board so we went under.

No, they don't own Glanford Park. I think that's the problem. They have deployed security to deny the owner access for fear of immediate eviction. Very sad situation. It's not all that long ago they were in the Championship.

The world is going mad first Scunthorpe and now Oxford trying to exit perfectly good modern stadiums albeit with only 3 sides in Oxfords case! Bloody well sort it out and aquire where you are rather than wasting resources and creating pollution by building another!

Glanford Park is 36 years old, I suspect we would be starting to look to refresh / relocate after that amount of time. 50 years maximum is the life time of a stadium now.

Didn't realise it was that old, I would have said 26 years tops.

Oxford doesn't own the Kassam. Kassam does, and he's a gouging bar stewart that they've tried to work with for over 20 years without success. They now realize that they really have no option but to move. It's a perfectly good facility that they can't use because the owner of the facility is impossible.

The problem is that Oxford fans hate their owner and the rent he makes the Club pay.
They are trying to cut all ties and move away.

Tranmere are exploring moving from Preston Park to a new ground on a development by the docks I believe

Got the wettest I've ever been at a football game, there. That open terrace, no warning AFAIR for rain when I left home that day!

If the project remains on schedule, it raises the question as to whether the Club moves in mid-season or alternatively, do we wait and give the Grand Old Lady a fitting send-off before commencing competitive league games for the senior men’s team at the start of the 2025/26 season.

Moving mid-season may offer some commercial benefits, but also presents a series of challenges and hurdles that could negatively impact other aspects of the Club – and other commercial considerations.

What I can say categorically is that, today, the project is several weeks ahead of schedule, with another winter to come.

In the coming months we will be consulting supporters further on our digital journey and the migration process as we seek to make a fully informed decision on when the first competitive game for our senior men’s team will be played at Everton Stadium.

This will be our home for generations to come, so our ambition is to ensure we get this right for everyone.
