Absolutely zero chance of this getting 75% approval. Zero.

That looks like 3 tickets fucked here  I can't understand why they aren't redeveloping the Arkells, where all the facilities (and club heirarchy). 'Cos the DRS is basically just a fit out job, I assume to create similar in the Arkells would involve ripping the guts out of it to even create the space. Plus as its already probably *cough*c.50 years old how long does the structure have left, with its supports etc its already pretty dated and shitty. Similarly the TE is where the big expense and big returns are so needs to be done right and the bank is a ball ache whatever way you look at it. Thankfully not having stepped foot in the theatre of nightmares for 20+ years I don't have a dog in the fight, but it makes cold sense why they are doing it, if they are to do anything at all.

By development finance like pretty much every developer in the country, little if anything in the property sector is done using non borrowed cash. |

I really cant see how they expect to fill Hospitality areas on the Arkells & DR stand, and how they will afford more staff - of yeah they will go and get college kids to work for £5 an hour.
But, there are no talk of this is phase 1 and after this is complete we move to phase 2 which is to do x, you get the impression this is the bare minimum as it is what is needed and there will be no plans for anything anything as there is no money (although there is no talk of how this will be paid for - probably a bank loan over 99 years knowing Clem)

Roughly 1,118 seats  Fancy reducing the capacity of the most popular stand by almost 25% to add a few corporate boxes. Gonna look terrible. Awful. These cunts struggle with flooring or a shop sign. This will be a disaster. |

Assuming that they actually intend to carry it through (which itself is a question), the financing aspect is the biggest thing to watch for me. Prior work suggests we should be very cautious. I don't know what power the JV has, but I'd be wanting to see the receipts. |

I thought it was £150k a few weeks ago. Can we blame Trump for that ?

Not in the affected seats but strongly don’t think this should be voted through. That’s a huge chunk of seats out of the stand.

That looks like 3 tickets fucked here I can't understand why they aren't redeveloping the Arkells, where all the facilities (and club heirarchy). They need to leave that stand the fuck alone. Starting with the one built in the 90s when everything else was built not long after the comet wiped out the dinasours is fucking asinine. In an ideal road where we were ran with someone with a clue and a pot to piss in, leave the DRS. Do a very small and basic knock and rebuild job on the bank. Then a much larger project is a total development of Arkells/Town End and corner filled in. Can look a bit like a standard souless bowl if need be as its only half a stadium. |
