Duly noted. And changed. Story was put together quite late yesterday after a long day and obviously my brain couldn't come up with a more suitable phrase.

Getting a six-figure fee in January for effectively nothing (kind of a sweetener on any future plans) sounds like this company are very keen to do something with us.
Dare I say this sounds very positive - no more Imagine Cruising on our shirts would appeal to me!

St Modwen Mark 2? Very much don't like the look of this last line.... “It’s an old stadium, it’s a tired stadium, there are discussions that need to be had regarding the dilapidations because they would run into the millions of pounds to get the stadium up to where it needs to be. ....no doubt SBC's response, will be to close down the Bank and possibly the TE. |

Its not really anything we don't know though (Powers quote not Sam's article). The Bank and Town End won't go on forever but I can't see the Council shutting them down anytime soon. They've been "battered" for as long as I can remember.
It's nice to see that LP is at least listening to what they have to say. Previously, he's refused any speculation re. The ground I think.

You're far too trusting of SBC.....of course their bumbling incompetence in some ways helps us out, but Power's interest in the ground, has probably been activated by the conundrum of a possible Championship side playing in a 2 sided arena....and not in a Sporting Braga sort of way. |

I wonder who the firm in question is? I reckon Leightons.

I'm sure you're correct to an extent re. Powers motives. It's not about any element of trust though, I'm not sure on what grounds they could shut the Townend?! The Bank maybe different but then it probably just needs some money spent on the bogs. As long as they're "safe" then I can't see how the council can close them.

Interesting that they approached us. I wonder what's in it for them, it's not as though we can pay them.

It's the first thing I thought too. Perhaps some naming rights going there way to? I liked Power's words about the fact the CG is falling apart. It's not about a shiny, aesthetically pleasing stadium oh with some extra businesses thrown in. It's now about redeveloping as a matter of necessity. |

Maybe it's naming rights or it could be a first move in trying to start a long-lasting relationship? Maybe they've been looking for an 'in' into the Stadium construction industry and this is theirs? I have no idea about the construction industry and this happens but I'm looking at it from a web developers POV  . That's what we do early on. |
