Pilgrims Are Edging Closer To Their New Stadium Dream

The Pilgrims are ready to leave their historic York Street home as they look to be a part of a fantastic new project in the town.

The £100 million Quadrant development will include the football stadium, more than 500 homes and retail outlets either side of the A16.

To make the dream a reality, the club must of course fund it - and chairman David Newton says it’s getting closer.

“Things are dropping into place” he told the Boston Standard, who report the club has been awarded a £250,000 grant from the Football Foundation’s Football Stadia Improvement Fund - and say another multi-million pound bid could be close to being agreed.

“We’re just waiting to finalise the funding through the Housing Infrastructure Fund,” Newton added.

“Last February we were shortlisted for funding of £3.5m for the Quadrant development, and some of the funding can be used towards the stadium. We are currently going through the due diligence process on that and are hoping to have it finalised soon.

“We are also finalising a bid to the Premier League and FA Facilities Fund for funding towards the 3G pitch and associated changing, parking and community facilities. Commercial sales are also progressing.”
