I assume buying the land is out of the question then?
Yes it is apparently, however the lease runs out next March and the council are supposedly offering a 250 year lease, should be enough for any potential investors to be happy about. |

That's similar to what rovers are looking at for their new ground, that'll be a good idea I think anyway. |

Problem with that is the footprint, it is already going to take up some of the car park, make it much bigger and that is when problems will appear!! Local residents etc.? |

This was from last year's AGM in January 2011 - Mention was also made that a technology park could be tagged on to the back of the Arkell’s Stand during the refurbishment, although details were somewhat hazy.
“As part of the development we are considering developing part of the site as a technology park,” said Fitton.
“Andrew Black is a very well known technology entrepreneur, he’s very successful, and he’s starting to look into a number of opportunities to invest in technology parks across the UK.
“He thinks it’s a potential site to do that on, and everybody seems very enthusiastic about it.” |

Building at the back of the Arkells seems a bit strange, very little room there, at the back of the DRS got to be a possibility!!

The technology park that was talked about had nothing to do with the new technical college - more of a business park that would have been built on the cricket pitch / sports field, iirc.
I don't get the car parking issues. There isn't a real need for the current car park at the ground, just that people are used to it. Plenty of parking in the town centre and public transport which works perfectly fine for a lot of other clubs.
