Trust CG Development Plans

[Reg Smeeton]

also I suggested a night club so all the players would piss their money straight back into the club....

   It would've been a good idea.....could have been incorporated into the Rikki Hunt casino.....called Jockstraps or something similarly catchy.

There doesn't seem to be much about the ground redevelopment specifically, just saying it'll be a 20,000 all-seater. Can we assume that we're building 3 new stands, creating a bowl-like stadium with the South Stand? Are we still going ahead with the 90 degree turn of the pitch?

extend town end and Bank, to same heigh at the Nationwide, then fill in the corners as a starter.

So it would be like 3/4s Nationwide stand and the arkells...

I think Andrew Hounsell put together some ace video clip thing somewhere...

No change of pitch location/rotation.

The development itself would have to be done by proper architects and the like, this is more an outline proposal to show how it could be done - financially and legally.  A rough cost and concept for the ground itself is included, but the actual design is up for grabs I suppose.

[Power to people]

I'm sure the council would see working with this bunch of cowboys a fatal flaw thats for sure

It sounded to me listening to Bowden that they are working on these proposals without the housing - but of course they won't credit the Trust, a lot of people worked bloomin hard getting those proposals done.

But do we really give a sh!t if the club think they can develop  - they are not going to be here long enough to see it through.

 :fu:

So it'll end up looking sort of like a C-shape (arkells, the bank and South Stand), with the Town End seperate, but joined by hotel on one side, flats on the other?

NO....Bank, Nationwide and Town End joined.

Arkells on its own

[Summerof69]

Just seen a report with Boden, Starnes, Carson and that guy from Reading, of how they've done this brillant development plan, and how it could transform the site of the CG.

No mention of the Trust, because the b'stards are claiming all the credit.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

cool. so something similar to Plymouth's one then? will the arkells stay as it is?

[DV]

I think, only think the plan was to leave the arkells for the time being, because it would cost shed loads to rip it down and re-start from scratch...it would be something to develop in the future if the funds allowed

[Fred Elliot]

Lets look at this guys and scratch a little beneath the surface.

Why has Bowden been brought in exactly ?

Look at Smarmes 2nd from last statement which questioned whether the Consortium wanted to take over just STFC ?

Then all of a sudden Bowden gets brought in with a clear remit to persue the redevelopment of the CG.

Lets face it, desparate times call for desparate measures !

The only way that this bunch is going to survive is to raise money to satisfy certain liabilities.

SSW has charges over his land or property's coming out of his fucking ears and has not got any more options to plough money into the club.

SO ........ the club has to borrow money to;

Pay liabilities

Stave off a take over bid so,

No due dilligence can be done and,

Us lot in Newbury can live happily ever after !

PROBLEM ; We have not got any security to get a loan and without it no fuckers going to touch us with a barge pole.

I KNOW - we'll push through the CG redevelopment and let the lender put a debenture over it and lend us some money so we wont have to show anybody what's REALLY been going on over the last 4/5 years.


WELL CONGRATULATION YOU BUNCH OF TOSSERS - ITS THE MOST TRANSPARANT THING YOU HAVE DONE IN YOUR TENURE

[flammableBen]

I disagree Fred, I feel that the board have now realised there mistakes and are now going full out to get a redevelopment sorted out with the aim of stabalising the club. I no longer feel that any of this trust / consortium / orange revolution malaki is required.

Go the Board!!
