SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Surly you would need to know your budget tk offer deals? We won’t know that yet? Or will we?

Not a dig at all…. but Peter Taylor will know the current team including Stan very well who’s to say there haven’t been some coffees together where indicative figures have been discussed

I really hope the new owners go with the 22K plus hotel stadium plan. Already has planning permission so no reason why spades cannot go in the ground instantly.
The bigger capacity will allow for bigger crowds and higher degree of comfort and far less restricted views. I think these guys will be able to put on group events with tickets available linked to a hotel reservation. They can work hand in glove with the hotel.

All sounds good to me

Play the live program then rewind to 8.13

So if they go with the hotel does that mean we can lose the built in blocks of flats which are an abomination to me, or are we stuck with them regardless?

So until this deal is completed, we're stuck between The Rock and a hard place?

The flats are not part of the plan we have permission for

16k version

Was it not the other way around?

 

[sammy666]

Was it not the other way around?

No. The photos clearly show the 22K version has no flats built on top of the stand and the hotel (I think) in the background

 

[Smiffy]

Was it not the other way around?

No.

The bottom image is the most recent design of 16k, with no planning consent.

You can see the big difference in amount of residential (rather than a hotel) above the central part of the main stand.

As we are a tough seaside town we have many a hard plaice

I reckon that post that got everyone excited yesterday could be that they were granted exclusivity and were able to finally start moving forward. I think a sale is gonna need at least a week before we get a completion.

Let’s do it could easily have been them submitting an offer etc

Was a good listen that.

Also, the new group are looking at revisiting going back to 22k for FF with the hotel too.

Same. Chance it might stretch into the following week, but everybody involved knows how important it is to get it done quickly. I said before that being thorough doesn't necessitate taking ages.

Is the expectation that they’ll buy the club and the new stadium together or that they’ll buy the club first and then seek to nail down an agreement for the new stadium?

A sale contract for the club can get agreed in a week but if one for the new stadium development hasn’t even gone out (and I wouldn’t expect one to have until a sale was agreed in principle) then that will take much longer to finalise.

I’m at half mast.

Hopefully 3pm will be viagra time

I'll have a hard place if this sale goes through soon.

Not today mate. Keep it in the cupboard for another day soon.

If Matt is happy and excited and Chris is happy and excited, then I for one trust their judgements.

So far the noises we are hearing are very positive...

*Local lads who know about the club and area

*Appear to have good, possibly significant financial backing

*Have a good contacts book (RW/DJ and others)

*Wish to retain Academy

*Looking at the possibility of sticking with the 22k FF development

*Already have a very good digital content arm which could be invaluable

*Have lots of people involved in various areas of sport and lots of knowledge to pull on

i read all that and think its wonderful, but have the sneaking suspicion Ron reads that and is overcome with jealousy and envy.

Just for once, will he do the right thing...

I genuinely don't think he has a choice now. He is at the end of the road financially.

Ooops. For some reason I was reading a post from March and didn't notice. Silly me

He needs this deal to go through, so you'd think he'd do everything in his power now to ensure it does.
