00:00I'm not really interested in football, but I do think there needs to be a football crowd
00:10in Newark for those footballs. You know, there was one, not that long ago in Boulderton,
00:14wasn't there, and that's closed down. So I think we definitely need a replacement.
00:18So I hope it goes out somewhere suitable.
00:20I don't think it would be a bad idea. As long as it didn't mess with the infrastructure.
00:24I think the thing is, Newark is such a beautiful town.
00:28And just as we walk through, so many things are closing, and so many things are changing.
00:34And if you could actually bring some money into this area, generally it doesn't happen.
00:41I've got one of my friends, Elliot, he lives around here.
00:44He's mad on football, doesn't have a garden.
00:47So a football stadium would be perfect for giving his friends a nice kick-start somewhere.
00:53It's really good for people who just want to play somewhere, but they don't have to go that far.
00:58They've been missing the football stadium for a few years, so yeah, bring it on.
01:03Anything like that is beneficial for them.
01:06I'm Laurence Scott. I'm very interested to see improvements to our sporting facilities in Newark.
01:13So with the development of a stadium of some kind, it would be great for Newark.
01:19Because Newark is a growing town, and football is good for everybody, for all ages.
01:24So I welcome the support to have a stadium of one kind, and a field to bring these people together
01:31to play their national sport and put Newark on the map.
01:34Newark drives ideal places with their fields.
01:37I don't know where else you could put it, really.
01:39Well, they've always had a stadium as such.
01:42I think it's a good idea, because, you know, I'm a football stadium. People give us that.
