Next phase will be to see what Plan B is......I doubt there is one and fully expect to see the plug pulled before the end of the season.
They obviously have a plan B -- unless Devlin was lying, which I doubt. Would be a silly thing to do in these circumstances. But the Plan B stated so far makes no sense. Makes sense to me. What don't you understand? They've been offered an opportunity outside of the borough. I understand that much. I don't understand the specifics, but that's because we've not been told them yet. |

Yeah, really clever. Have a go at about the only councillor who actually backs the club. Nice one. |

I'm with Reginald on this. If plan A falls down on the CG site how or more importantly who would cough up both the land and the green to develop on another site? Certainly the legality remains exactly the same with cashing in on the current site more so if it benefits a club not even in the Borough. Question on both plans is who is actually funding the £20 million shortfall? Going full circle how would Shaw have ever got the go ahead if it was reliant in part on development on the CG site? Precedent already set perhaps? |

I think Swindon Tartan Army is just a bit of a cock, don't pay any attention.

Only one factor seems to be in the Club's favour.
If SBC is intelligent enough to realise it's complete cockup with the Mechanics Institute, and the trouble it has caused them, following many earlier and present failures to enable preservation of historic sites, perhaps they might see the spectre of STFC playing elsewhere, being £100,000 p.a. rent worse off, and a ground and buildings disused and no good to anyone.
Presumably SBC would be saddled with the costs of buildings demolition, although they belong to the Club? Then there is the sporting usage covenant, how would SBC get round that and remove and develop a festering eyesore?
Oh I forgot- they don't mind! One to add to the Mechanics and the old Locarno! Let it fester away! ( Feeling bitter today.) :evil:

( Feeling bitter today.) :evil: Every reason to be Normy....I don't though because all the issues you quote and a string more, led me to think that with the involvement of SBC nothing could possibly happen......its now up to the Board to put up or push off. Think we may move to a clearer picture by spring,. |

Plan B is moving out of the borough, but not as far as the distance Franchise travelled (approx 60 miles).

I honestly think this is a case of Devlin trying to play hard ball. Not sure if this plan b is a serious one, or whether we're just calling the councils bluff.
Can't see us being in much of a better position relocating away from Swindon. Unless it's very close to the borough boundaries.

I know what has ben said, but this is the bit that makes no sense...outside the Borough, but rules changed since MKD limit it to sonmething like 20 miles. Not towards Newbury....to share with another sport.. what is there within 20 miles. If we've no money to develop the CG how have we got money to develop elsewhere....especially as there'll be no STFC favourable development at the CG.......leave it a few years as an empty shell and it'lll become an ASDA with a mega car park. |

Apaprently there are 3 companies ready to invest and develop, but we need the councils backing first.

I'm sure the rugby club in question will come to us rather than the other way around.

My mistake, I must have misread, I thought he was one of the ones complaining about the stadium plans. As for the £20 million shortfall, Listening to Mark Devlin on wiltshire sound this morning there are several "financial institutions" willing to jump on board. Probably simila to how Wemberlee is bing funded by that german bank (and no I dont mean Bertie Vogts) |
