Thanks, I know I have seen the character but Dangermouse was not one of my tv interests but thanks anyway.

I know we agree on pretty much nothing except the natural superiority of the mighty STFC, but this is going too far. To be so dismissive of Terry Scott's finest hour.

Really......you're just dead to me from now on.....

I was a huge Dangermouse fan as a kid. You could imagine my joy turn to misery when I turned on the TV to watch and the Scottish fuckers would show the gaelic version 'Donnie Murdo'. They did the same with Fireman Sam - 'Sam Smalaidh'



edit - dunno why the video isn't working but if you can be arsed putting 'Donnie Murdo' into Youtube you'll get the theme tune dubbed into gaelic.

At least someone at the Council has a sense of humour, albeit if they were a proper Town fan they would have released this on a Friday!

https://twitter.com/SwindonCouncil/status/1501270847381721089

So the agreed sale price is a cool £2.3m (plus VAT)

Supposedly, this is the timeframe

Bloody hell £1m on the Stratton Bank isn't going to go far!

Some interesting snippets:

'It is proposed that funds for the stadium purchase will be supplied to the JV by the Trustees of the late Nigel Eady, who was a lifelong supporter of STFC and left a substantial trust fund to benefit the Club. The process of transferring the required funding is understood to be complicated. In the event that for any reason the funding is not made available by the Trustees, the funding will be provided by the Club and guaranteed by the Club Chairman.'

'The Council would have the option to buy back the freehold in the event that the JV had not commenced the Stadium Development Plan 3 years from the JV acquiring the freehold. This would require confirmation of funding for the whole Stratton Bank redevelopment, placing of the works contract and commencement of work on site has all been achieved to confirm that redevelopment has commenced. On the basis that one of the benefits to the Council in considering a sale of the freehold is the opportunity for funding to be generated for improvements, it is considered reasonable that if improvements don’t take place, the Council can re-acquire the site for the sale price, or the market value at the time, whichever is the lower. Additionally the Council would have the first opportunity to buy back the freehold if the JV wanted to dispose of its interest at a future date.'

Is the hotel/conference centre going to be incorporated 'in' the Town End development?
Should be quite a meaty stand I that's the case. Does the ground purchase include the car park?
The Stratton Bank million must be for a new crapper and a bolt on roof, stick the away fans.

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.

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..

If you look on here Agenda item 12 has the committee report and a plan showing what is being bought (opens as a PDF) http://ww5.swindon.gov.uk/moderngov/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=285&MId=10465&Ver=4

Also includes all the land between the back of the DRS and the road, not sure if that could be built upon, does it have some sort of open land designation (No idea just OTTOMH).

So the lot includes the land right up to the Magic Roundabout. Good stuff.
