I want to know where this "365 day revenue" will come from.
A small football stadium in the countryside, isn't going to attract much IMO.

Therein lies the problem - they want others to pay for it's build (in a version of Ricoh part deux), but with the economy not exactly booming, I can't see them getting big companies like Tesco coughing up - unless they can persuade Poundstretcher to build a massive shop surrounding the new stadium. Would be quite apt 'The Poundstretcher' Stadium :laugh::facepalm::guitar2:
I want to know what will be the rental arrangement with the club.

Absolutely intrigued by you comments! Strange coming from you.
How do you know where the stadium's likely to be be built and what do you mean by small? 15-18K, nearly half of the Ricoh = Small.

I want to know where the stadium plans are. If they were serious, land deal complete or not you'd have some plans commissioned. Its not like they would have to design it around confines like existing buildings or infrastructure, they've narrowed down to 2 sites apparently that are 60 acres+. they could put it down wherever they wanted in a 60 acre site.
I want to know where the business plan is too. Where is the 365 day income coming from, where's the capital investment coming from. How have they estimated the build cost with no plans. What debt is the club going to be left with once the stadium is finished.
I can see how commercial confidentiality comes into play on tying up the land deal but the questions i want answers too are things that should have been discussed in detail with fans in the first instance, around the same time as the artist impression reared its head.
It would a high risk strategy to buy the land without getting planning permission first, so you would expect to see planning applications before they could announce they had actually bought the land.

firstly, can i just say i am firmly in the "i want to stay at the ricoh camp".
I never wanted to leave hr, i grew up there and i loved it, however what's done is done and we can of course never go back to that.
Secondly, i happen to agree with a number of others that there is a poor atmosphere at the ricoh and would love to see the back ten rows blocked off on three sides of the ground in order to compact the ground and improve the atmosphere.
No doubt there are a number of other improvements that can be made........but.
If we are stuck with sisu please can they reveal some proper details to the long suffering fans who just want to know where they stand. It's shocking communication skills on their part to still be hiding behind commercial confidentiality concerns for not informing us what the hell the state of play is now after waiting so long.
If we are to build our own ground (i don't believe we will) then give us something to work with, give us something that the fans can assist with, just engage with us instead of telling us you are listening to us, learning the lessons of the past but not displaying any evidence of that other than the old traits of total silence or trot out your current party line.
Also if you are going to build the stadium what is now stopping you working with ccc and building inside the confines of the city boundary?
Maybe someone with the nous, know how or contacts could start a new campaign to get some proper answers from the club.
I know the cov telegraph gets stick on a number of levels, sometimes rightly sometimes wrongly, but they have just won the campaign of the year award for the bring city home campaign, maybe they can really kickstart some proper pressure on the club to give us some concrete/proper details. Simon gilbert over to you or anyone else out there!!
If you were buying land without planning permission wouldn't you be able to sell it on at a later date for roughly the same price?
Possibly, except you'd be down on the stamp duty and legal fees, and the lost interest on funding millions of pounds worth of land.

But with a conditional offer, you wouldn't be out of pocket. Agree a deal, on the understanding that the money transfers and the contract is made at the point planning is agreed. SISU can then use this as leverage against the council. Given our owners insist their future lies elsewhere, isn't this the only viable way of moving forwards?

tbh it's why I'm surprised they didn't buy land straight off. Forget planning etc, take the chance you might actually make a profit as prices rise, and have more to show then a drawing to convince people you're serious.
I was 21 in 1987.
Which stage of planning does it get to before you complete the land deal?
Its been a while but IIRC they're 4 stages. 1st outline application, we want to build a football ground etc. on this 60 acre sight. 2nd outline application consent, 3rd detailed application, for this you need detailed plans not an artist impression of what the finished article could look like. 4th detailed application consent.
