Some good plans there! Can i just ask what the plans would be for car parking if the car park and the Ground behind the Arkells is being used up for development? It has been suggested that a multi-storey car park is built on an adjacent retail site for use by that business as well as the sports facility. It has also been costed and it is not a ridiculous amount of money. sounds alright! the car parking is bad enough at the moment so an alternative site for car parking ie essential! What is the Park and Ride like at Swindon? |

Looks very good in principle, hope the devilish detail does not get in the way.

What's to complain about ?
The fact is you need hotel/apartments to help pay for the redevelopment costs.
At least it's much better that the clubs 'more houses than you can shake a stick out' proposal, which seemed to be done on the cheap by Dunwoody, but they probably charged the club £50k + vat for.

not just that Summerof69, but the hotel and appartments shows the club is also giving back to the people and local businesses of swindon.
Hotel would be the gateway for Swindons businesses when clients want to visit. Confrences(sp) could be held there too which would boost turnover.
With housing if it's low cost affordable (like Ralpy has just got) flats then it helps the first time buyers to get on the market therefore giving back to the comunity.
all in all it's a winner

I'm just now waiting for a club 'statement' saying that these proposals are pie in the sky, when everybody knows that they are not.
They are under severe pressure as today the Adver has also printed the Manifesto for the Fans Consortium.

What happens to these proposals now given the consortium bid?
I assume the idea is the takeover bid runs its course and the consortium take the plans forward?
I assume he Trust will not be handing the plans to the current board, assuming they have not contributed to the costs of producing them of course?

The previous roof issue wasn't to do with the residents, it was more that the club couldn't afford to build it :roll: However, this time around it is proposed to slant the Shrivvy Road corner to maximise natural daylight for the residents. |

Goos Work, hark at the common sense of the proposal! Wel done to all involved, can't get too excited til I see soem fancy atrwork of how it might look. I would love it for the designs to actually be a bit unique not some samey prepackaged design like every other club has.

More fantastic work from the trust. my only regret is I didnt join sooner to show my support.
Trying to be as unbiased as possibe, I would support this scheme even if I didnt support STFC. There are too many people in this ton who are scared of progress.
A big thumbs up to all involved for the hard work it must have taken to put such a comprehensive and well thought out proposal togther.
I just hope that the council, nimbys, and prople stuck in the past can see the benifits of such a scheme

33% say no, that's a bit worrying. Although initial concerns should be over come.
Great work to all involved, like what was said on Monday, publishing these details can only be a good thing.
Any statement from the club about this would sound reactionary.

How do you slant a stand? do you mean Huddersfield style with the U shape roof? |
