Post-stadium Housing Development
The site of the stadium is currently being regenerated by George Wimpey plc to provide housing on the areas which were originally the car parks and stands. The area which was the playing surface will be relaid with grass so that the local children can continue the tradition of playing football on that space.

Famous quotes containing the words housing and/or development:
“We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
