SUFC: The Future SUFC up for sale

[Crowstone Crevette]

So as i hear it the deal is 85% complet .Now its down to who pays what .And thats is all that is holding this up . This can rummble on for a while .Lets hope for the good of our club this is done next week .

The devil is always in the detail!

 

[bazzashrimper]

Surely a deal (not necessarily an agreement with RM) would be more straight forward with planning permission rather than no planning permission. Actually - maybe the value is more for the Conster this way

Ron accepted bid after getting a week to do so … of course Ron took the full week

Give it a rest. Who are you going to transfer your animosity to when he's gone?

[tommy tucker]

Every on hear knows Ron is a tricky coustomer to deal with .But for once it seems the two sides solisitors are thrashing out the best for both sides .

 

[Holy Joe]

I would think, but have no knowledge, that the stadium would still be in 2 phases, but as we've heard from Tom?before the 4th main stand commencing at the same time as the other stands but taking longer to complete.

Why?

Because the development at RH and the rest of FF is dependent on it. So the faster we can get into FF stadium the better for Ron.

Remember, If he doesn't own the club, he cant call all the shots any longer.

The new owners could negotiate their own terms on when they would leave RH for FF and what must be in place to do so.

3pm announcement wasn’t wrong

 

[kentblues]

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m intrigued what maths leads to £5m revenue from a 100 room hotel?

If we say the average price is £70/night, then £70 * 100 rooms * 365 days a year * 50% occupancy is £1.27m by my maths.

Maybe I’m underestimating the price of hotel rooms or expected occupancy but even with more ambitious estimates the hotel rooms alone don’t seem to come to that total.

Industry standard occupancy for a successful hotel is 70-90%. Room rates for a decent hotel (verses a B&B) an average of £100 night (higher at peak times/events- go check Trivago.com & see typical rates in Southend), then people staying at hotels do eat and use the bar (add say 20%). Take off the VAT and thats starting to push £3m. Then people eating/drinking but not staying (especially if you have a half decent bar/restaurant), events, parties other hospitality and services etc., maybe park & ride for the airport and so on..

Its great hearing all the positive vibes , Myself the deal will be done next week , i was hopin today, God willing the 22k stadium with a hotel , it makes sense to me what with an international airport close by. that sooner its finalised the beTter for all concerned including RM. Also i think Kimura will be a truly good fit for us and the club will rise again , Also think we will in no time at all be filling a 22k stadium..

Be interested how much they offered Ron bearing in mind he would of asked for a stupid amount
