I doubt it as all the shares belong to him.  It could be to set up for a future investor, which is a sensible thing to do but doesn't mean anything has happened.

Then you’ve got the perennial problem of the residents of Shrivenham Road complaining. Plus the club will own the car park to build the new TE into but I don’t think it owns any land behind the Bank.

Exactly this.

Why give the away fans the Town End when it's going to be a new 5k stand? The 2,100 seat bank with roof will suit away fans, get em out the north stand too.

SB with a roof would be a great stand for atmosphere though. I'm sure we can keep it while The Town End is being developed and decide from there.

The DRS was put up over a summer with no disruption if I remember.
Could be the case with the new TE as well?

Redeveloped stand going up at Anfield, existing one still in use while the new bit goes up around it.

I'm sure that all avenues will be explored.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

On the flip side of that Fulhams Riverside Stand has been going years. No doubt the pandemic has slowed things, but still taking a very long time.

Yes, think it was initially meant to take two years but they have cited "the complex nature of the project, coupled with implications arising from the Coronavirus pandemic" as reasons for it now looking like a 4-year project. Certainly a bit different to throwing up a hotel and 5,000 seater on the CG car park.

The Anfield example is an interesting one... no idea what cost it's added to have to work around the existing structure and if that might be prohibitive for STFC? I imagine we'll be sewapping the TE for an undercover SB for a season.

I imagine part of the reason for that may be that it backs right onto the Thames so not much space for builders etc to manoeuvre.

No other option. Away fans in the Arkells corner where they are now. TE in the Bank avec roof.

Then give over the Bank to away fans when all is finished.

Yeah that can only complicate things. Can't be far off completion now.

The DRS was indeed put up over a summer, but it was just that - assembled onsite.  It was a modular design meaning the stand was built offsite then assembled onsite by the same people who did three of the Notts County stands I think.  You can do that when going for ultra basic.  I'd imagine the plans for the TE would take significantly longer as they'd have bespoke requirements, more than just a shell and some seats.

STFC CEO Rob Angus told @BBCWiltshire the court listing relates to a dispute with caterers Centreplate. Before the hearing he said "We don't dispute there's a debt, we just dispute how much it is... we expect it to be settled... and we can move forward."
