Be nice to see an artists impression.
Don’t know how much of the £20m on a new TE will go towards the actual stand. I think at present the build cost is approx £3k per seat. So say, £15m would equate to a 5,000-seater stand.
I don't think anything has got that far yet, that Advertiser piece is just a result of someone reading the Committee Report on the Council website, they are no doubt now scanning this website so they can run a follow up supporter reaction piece! |

Well not in the next 5 years anyway - I would expect that would be the next steps. I guess they can't redevelop the current conferencing facilities until the new conference facilities are available..
Good point |

At that point they might not even need that much conference facilities. They may want to utilise the Arkells Stand space for something else. |

A casino would do decent business in this town, you would have to say. I'm surprised no one has turned Brunel Rooms in to one at any point. |

Yeah I’ve assumed the logic is to build new stuff in a different stand so you can continue to use the current facilities whilst the new ones are being built. Then once you have the new ones to take over from the old ones you can do what you like with the old area. Obviously the stand is dated but all the club offices and what not are in there. They’d all need re-homing before we could work on that stand. |

I confess I have never set foot in the Arkells (bar via the turnstiles) but I cannot imagine the club offices relates to much more than could be solved with a few Portakabin stacked up. However looking at the timetable they have proposed looks like a no brainer really, getting the bank tidied up a bit vastly improves the appearance of the place for limited investment, could also possibly provide standing/safe standing temporarily if some fans want it. The DRS boxes are a much needed upgrade and will be good for revenue and again for limited cost. The TE is probably the jewel in the crown in stand development potential in the short/medium term, plenty of footprint there, comparatively easy in planning terms. I suppose the two longer terms are re the Arkells less offices more changing rooms and all that jazz, offices could be moved elsewhere on the site in cabins or in parts of the stands, but matchday stuff needs proximity and accessibility to the pitch, I assume our playing facilities are not too bad at this level. Oh and what if anything can be done with the chunk of land between the DRS and the road? |

...So the agreed sale price is a cool £2.3m (plus VAT)...
TOGC should = No VAT (usually) |

Link not working for me.
I assume its the Council website as it isn't working for me this morning neither! I originally accessed via the link on this tweet from the Council https://twitter.com/SwindonCouncil/status/1501270847381721089 which is also not working reinforcing its an SBC issue. |

The WW5 instead of WWW might have something to do with it - are you predicting something here?  |

The Terrace is definitely a legit site, ordered a few things off there and usually is good quality. |

Thanks managed to get on to the payment page and took the chance. Good to know it's a legit company thanks. Can't grumble at £36 for that shirt, my favourite shirt so happy days. |
