Hi everyone
Blackburn Rovers fan in peace here.
You may or may not be aware that the above mentioned (commonly now known as "the Coventry 3" or "Coventrio" in our neck of the woods) have submitted plans to sell of part of the training complex created for us by the late Jack Walker for housing redevelopment.
The local paper are seemingly too scared of falling out with the Club to ask any of the right questions so we felt obliged to send Waggott an open letter which can be found here:
As this has obvious echoes of what happened with your Ryton Training ground I was hoping for any information or observations that might be of use. I'd also like to flesh out the current situation with your training ground.
Was it ever actually sold to Developers or is is it still owned by Otium Entertainment Group Ltd?
Is a move still in the offing or did that die with the departures of Waggott and Venus?
Did Sport England ever go into detail about their reasons for blocking the move other than an alternative site having to be found?
Was an alternative site ever secured?
Many thanks in anticipation of any assistance. Please add your name in support of the letter at the end if you like it.
Best of luck for ther remainder of the season.
Simon.
