'Chang - not funny' - Adver

My mates sisters dog's postman said that the council were going to turn the cg into a massive supermarket.

They can apply to the court for possession which would be pretty fucking stupid as, if they were given possession, they would have fuck all revenue coming in for the foreseeable future plus they'd piss off everyone in swindon with an interest in football.

Oh do piss off

'My mate's mother-in-law'

I would suggest that entering into discussion with a random person on Twitter regarding contractual and legal matters between the council and a third party might be considered a little unprofessional for a councillor.

Therefore I would suggest his silence is less deafening and more sensible.

I'll put on record that I'm as sure as I can be that this (repossession next week) is not the case. That won't mean much to some of you, but never mind.

Cooper's fucking off, Luongo, Foderingham, Kasim, Smith and Nathan are being sold and the grounds being turned into a Lidl.

Apart from the above, everything's rosy!

Let's say that SBC do reposses the CG....

We'd have to ground share, say with Cheltenham - not ideal even in the short term but we'd still be playing.

SBC on the other hand would have a football stadium with exactly zero other possible tenants. On top of the lost rent they'd be responsible for the upkeep, security, insurance, rates and so on. In total they'd probably be out £500k a year which they don't have and will have even less as their funding is cut further in the coming months/years.

Redeveloping it for other purposes wouldn't be easy and would take some time. There is the covenant, the community purchase right, planning permission, local opposition to the change of use and so on. Even if they sell it on the same issues apply.

In short, the CG is a white elephant and repossession would be a complete and utter disaster for SBC and the last thing they want. I'm guessing Power has come to a similar conclusion, has a potential backer lined up to redevelop the stadium and is thinking more and more that promotion to The Championship is a possibility. So he's decided now is the time to take SBC on, I'd guess he'd be looking to buy the ground or at minimum get a vastly reduce rent.

As regards the CG being repossessed next week, I'd say that claim is beyond complete and utter bollocks. There is only a few months arrears and a dispute over the payments and terms of the lease - no way in hell a judge would grant a repossession order especially at the first hearing.

We don't have a lease
Ran out a long time ago (13 months iirc )

But your other points remain valid

Buzz-killington.

But my brother's ex's dad's former room-mate said this is all true. We're also ground-sharing with Bath City.

SBC said the original lease is still in effect, on a month by month basis I believe. They used some special term to describe it, I'd guess it's similar to how a residential lease continues once the original period has expired.

Not enough use of the word 'Swindle' to be OTIB.
