Don't really read much about the fella not being in the town but the last paragraph in the article perhaps sums up his lateral thinking towards what The Shay is (that it's soley for sport) and his lack of astute business sense.
Again, I'm only going off one article, but he doesn't seem to be offering a solution to the problem with what's in front of him which is of course a community stadium which can now be used for sport and community events as well are business conferences and work seminars.
I'm sure he'd be better served to council expressing ideas to help the place rather than knocking down a place, that's just had £3m (?) spent on it, 4 years after it was built.
Also if he's looking for advice from Eric Pickles, he just ok'd a council run stadium in York to be built so I'm guessing such facilities aren't to much of a concern to the national government.
