I think Vale View would run into difficulty with WCC Highways.

Also, as you have pointed out previously, it is an old marl pit.

If it has been used as a landfill site, then an extensive Ground Investigation would need to be carried out & if that identifies ground contamination, ground remediation or a potential need to carry out ground improvement works, that could prove very expensive & would need an Enabling Groundworks Contract to be let, to bring the site up to standard for engineering works for structures.

Then there is the fact that being underlain by clay, any groundwater will be perched, sitting on top of the clay.

You all know my preference for a new Stadium site!

Edit:

It appears that the Local Authority are prepared to pay for the work to remediate the pitch at Scarborough...£3.2 million!

Scarborough Athletic have signed a ground-share agreement with Bridlington for next season...they previously ground-shared with Bridlington for 10 years.
