The 15ers never have had; and probably never will have , the funds for a new stadium. Radical suggestion - Maybe they should actually try turning up for home games? I know, I know - it's almost criminal to suggest that rather than being someone else's fault* the fault with their financial position lies closer to home. * pick any from a long and random list of parties to blame for their plight - The council, 'teds in the away end, Wycombe, the EFL, Sainsbury's, UWE, The ref, The Greens, The BBC, A cycling event, The Balloon fiesta etc. etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 PLCs have their shareholders to defer to. If there is a better deal out there for some land sale than a football club then they have to take it. Developing the Mem seems the only way, we said that months ago on here. Trouble is, rather than getting people onside, they have created bad feeling in the neighbourhood and the council by their attitude this summer. They have poked the bear. Further development has just been made harder. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 39 minutes ago, NcnsBcfc said: When you start going through all the failed proposals over 50 years, I can't think of another football club whose new stadium plans have been such abject failures. The recurring theme is always "How is this going to be paid for?" The plans seem to range from "Sports Grants" to "Other Investors". At least with Ashton Vale, there was a coherent plan of selling AG, building homes on ground that we owned, plus the remainder coming from SL. None of these Rovers' plans even mention at any stage funding, let alone a business plan. They are all just pie in the sky. If it was any other club i would feel sorry for them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baba Yaga Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I always thought FM would be an unsuitable location but if there is one thing that was sort of impressive it was how they managed to spin out their bullshit for as long as they did. I wonder if its possible to rebuild on the mem using temporary stands if done in stages they could possibly move the pitch slightly along the way and open up more space? Since they forgot about planning permission it might be slightly ambitious to expect them to think that far ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcnsBcfc Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) Just speaking to a gas ST colleague. The temporary stand that they put up behind the goal, was to give away fans seats as well as disabled facilities, or else they would be fined by the league. The problem is now, that they've taken it down (as of yesterday) as it's getting in the way of the new stand. I have no idea if they plan to put it up/take it down before and after every home game to avoid getting fined, or if they're just going to take the EFL fine and have to accept it. Given that the planning meeting isn't for another month anyhow, this is absolute chaos of the highest order there. Also, the new stand will block half the away standing area as well (Like Bolton's old ground, back in the day)... Honestly couldn't make it up.

Swede Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Makes Wally's decision to pull out of UWE when UWE agreed to the new stadium plan, look even more stupid. Now they have no funding whatsoever apart from the few shillings that their new ice cream salesman throws in. I would guestimate that the cost of that temporary structure was to be factored into the sale of the old dump before moving to the fruitbowl. What they are left with is an old crumbling rugby ground that they don't want & that's had minimal investment in recent years. Whatever they do it will cost them a lot of money to develop this aging site; money they don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that if you want to build an extension to your property you can't go ahead until planning has been approved. This seems to contradict that. You can proceed with ‘unauthorised development’, but ‘it’s entirely at your own risk’. One risk is that if the case goes to Committee the politicians see the act of commencing/completing the development to which the application relates as undermining their authority and that pisses them off - so a refusal is more likely. This is particularly the case if there are some sound planning reasons around to back a refusal. An enforcement, followed by a stop notice, can be served though. If memory serves me right the Council can then apply to Court should then building continue in order to stop it. Should the magistrate/judge support the Council’s application an injunction will be served on the offending party resulting in mega ££££s/jail if breached. If they are not building in accordance with the details in the submitted plan, this will - from my experience - really piss the Councillors off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately the stands will no doubt be in place for a very long period of time Without looking into it, I suspect there are many similar structures around the lower leagues and non league Yep that’s kinda what I was implying. They are calling it temporary,it’s all they can afford to build but really it’s long term Edited September 12, 2023 by mattjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
