Campaigners have called on Tesco to reveal more about its intention to demolish one of Scotland's oldest football stadiums, to make way for a supermarket.
The retail giant is to buy St Mirren's Love Street ground in Paisley and build the club a stadium in the town, as revealed in The Herald yesterday.
Tescopoly, a group which campaigns against the chain's expansion, yesterday urged the company to explain its plans for Paisley.
Duncan McLaren, chief executive of Friends of the Earth Scotland, which is a member of Tescopoly, said: "Tesco's growing dominance is bad news as it allows it to dictate conditions to suppliers and to drive high-street stores out of existence.
"With a number of other stores in the pipeline already, it is vital Tesco comes clean on its intentions with regard to Love Street."
Tesco is already planning a major development in Linwood, barely three miles from the Paisley site.
It is thought that if the firm does not build a supermarket at Love Street, home to the club since 1895, it could retain the site in its land bank to keep out commercial rivals.
Nick Gellatly, corporate affairs manager for Tesco, would say only: "We are committed to investing both in Linwood, and more widely in Renfrewshire. However, we do not comment on speculation regarding our wider development programme."
Outline planning permission for a retail development at Love Street was granted by Renfrewshire Council in 2005 to the football club. The local authority also granted St Mirren planning permission for a stadium at Greenhill Road in the Ferguslie Park area.
The council said yesterday no proposals had yet been submitted from any supermarket to any planners.
