So are you thinking that the monies raised by player sales, are being put into the acquisition of this patch of land, under the disguise of a training ground, while the club heads off to the Conference South....and it's then sold on to developers for a fat profit?

Have to admit hadn't thought of that.
soapy tit wank Reg, Dougie Grant tried that one!!  He never got anywhere with SBC and turned it into the golf course!

The club could be also paying rent to the land owner for use of said. training facility. 
But they are buying it outright, contracts to be exchanged by the end of this month apparently!

I think the only worry is who Power eventually sells up to.

Don't suppose we will know exactly how Power will finance the new facility - obviously he has already said a good slice of recent player sales will go into it.

He will sell up some time, obviously. And him owning the training facility will make it more attractive to any purchaser and no doubt Power would get a good return.

It is being bought outright, doesn't mean the club will be the direct owner.

Here was me thinking that Mr Power was setting this up as some sort of generous act to carry the club forward...must be going soft in my old age  Smiley

Seems a reasonable enough thing to at least have a mild concern about - could also see arguments over valuation of the training ground cropping up in future takeovers running into difficulties as well. But on a glass-half-full basis, pleased to see it's going ahead, slightly concerned about where the money's coming from too.

It was in general. If i said the sky was a little less bluer today, then audrey would worry the sea was shrinking Wink

Hopefully there will be a lease agreement between the club and owner in that instance and shouldn't present too much of a problem.

Adver reporting the site has planning permission for holiday homes.

So if STFC/Power buy the site, build the training facilities and a few holiday homes, hopefully the project could pay for itself.

has anybody come to the conclusion that one day this could quite possibly be our new ground?

Fucking hope not. The CG is in a fantastic location - albeit a bit of a dump.

Adver living up to their usual shit quality 'journalism' then. If you look on the Swindon planning portal an application was put in in May 2014 for 18 holiday homes and was refused. So has nothing to do with Town!
