He announced on 15 December 2006 that the club would begin negotiations with [Swindon Borough Council](/wiki/Borough_of_Swindon "Borough of Swindon") in January 2007 with a view to beginning work.

General Manager Mike Diamandis spoke of the Stadium Redevelopment plans on 20 December 2006, saying: "We hope to stay at the County Ground and would love to redevelop it into a modern complex. But we have been approached to move to junction 17 of the M4 \[near Chippenham], and it is our jobs to look at that. Our preferred route is to stay in Swindon."

Bill Power announced on 10 January 2007 his willingness to back any stadium plan submitted by TrustSTFC, the [supporters' trust](/wiki/Supporters%27_trust "Supporters' trust"). He stated "The Trust plan has much to admire in that both the football club and the local community make significant long\-term gains in terms of leisure facilities and sustainable income."
