The 12,000-seater stadium will be developed as part of the mixed- use Lincolnshire Lakes project – which is spearheaded by Lucent Group and will include 3,500 new houses, a commercial park, a school and a transport hub. The designs and masterplan for the sta- dium have been created by Frank Whittle Partnership and come as SUFC chair Peter Swann is keen to provide the club with a new home and move the club from its cur- rent 9,000-capacity Glanford Park. SUFC

“The stadium is a dream for me and hopefully it’s something the fans will buy into,” he said. “We’re going to be in a place where revenue streams are going to be higher.
