    BBC Humberside Sport

    The future of a major development in North Lincolnshire which would include a new stadium for Scunthorpe United is uncertain.

    Glanford Park stadium

    Club chairman Peter Swann has told BBC Radio Humberside the club will not now be relocating to the Lincolnshire Lakes development and is now planning to improve the existing Glanford Park stadium.

    In April 2015, the club's plans for a new 12,000-seater football stadium on a 23-hectare site at the Lincolnshire Lakes development were approved.

    Peter Swann said: "It's pretty clear that the council has gone cold on Lincolnshire Lakes. We have been completely left out in the cold."

    Responding, the leader of North Lincolnshire Council, Rob Waltham, said the door is still open for a new stadium at the site and it's up to Scunthorpe United to move the plans forward.
