For heavens sake man, they clearly want a training facillity to stop player drain due to shitty Broad St porta kabins & have chosen to spend the dosh on Leamington. Why are you chucking out spurious diversions when it is bloody obvious what they're doing, I'm not supporting them I'm merely...

There are conditions to the CVC money.. so the development makes sense for them. Premiership rugby agrees to sell minority stake to CVC Capital Partners | Daily Mail Online

Pretty straight forward & any compedent architeect/engineering practise would be quite used to complying with.

Which is why the SISU plan is suspect, especially in the absense of detail they have made public. What's the betting they are simply creating adverse conditions for their competitor in order to acquire the Ricoh. If they were serious they would not put up with delays and would be folowing up...

I don't believe that, there are no choo choo's!

Flowers on a tree

True there was a £20m hole in finance, largely due to : a) CCFC messing up land deal, giving land to contracors to cover costs they were unable to meet who then pulled out of project and charged a premium to the council to purchase the land so they could complete the Arena. b) Massive...

Eion Jess. I thought he was going to come good but he flopped in the end.

Much needs to be explained though. You can't take any of these chancers at their word. Especially gven that we've heard so many different stories over the years, why only 3 months ago the Ricoh was plan A & there was no plan B. 1) How will it be financed so that the club isn't holding massive...

I screen dumped both parts from google maps at same scale and copied one in a layer over the other. Sorry didn't grab maps scale at same time, slight oversight. :angelic: Search me?

I've said before, this is less about income than having a property asset. Any project like this would be paid for by associated development too, whether that is by flipping Ryton for houses (obvs. seriously considered) or having shops/commercial/residential on the new site.

Here I've suprimposed the Ricoh (less jaguar hall /most of hotel / casino etc.) over part of woodlands site without even touching existing school buildings.

Which is disgusting. Directive from central govt and local govt complicit. Can't trust any politicians ever.

Maybe it is the land owned by CCC rather than the land under discussion. I wonder what the local plan designates those areas as?

Also Dean has tweeted the site boundary.

SG inferring he got to story first then it was leaked to Les Reid.

Or anyones for that matter. Uncritical acceptance of any of the parties position is simply naive.

Are you saying the EFL dictated the questions?

I never said that did I. The SISU statement claims the escrow belonged to the club but that is nonsense it was independently funded. If it was the club's money show me where it appeared in their accounts? That statement is pure spin as much as any other.

FYI the escrow was not funded by SISU it was money from £500k left over from a development agency grant deposited in 2004 before SISU ever became involved. There were also guarantees from former directors which were drawn down. (£250k from Geoffery Robinson for example). In short SISU may...
