Further Project information from the tender alert site.
The tender alert is a 2 page document, but the main bullet points that caught my eye were.
· Project Details - Sainsbury’s Superstore - Rootshall
· Scheme -Demolition of football stadium and redeveloping of comprising food superstore including erection of fuel station, associated landscaping and vehicle parking.
· Timing -Start March 2015 - End March 2017.
The tender alert was dated 19.11.14
This information may keep the hopes up of those that want the new ground, orjust help to confuse us further with the muddle known as fossets farm, who knows.
Personally i can remember when Vic Jobson said, "yes we have put in a building application for a new ground". That was 18+ years ago. I gave up believing this would ever happen a long time ago.
I would love to see Roots Hall Re-developed, but i know that would be un-ecomonical, but still, its a nice thought for me thou.
Snr.
It depends on what they intend to start with, but they can't do anything to the football stadium until the new one is up and running. This has nothing to do with a convenant, but has everything to do with logistics. I'm therefore not sure I believe that a whole lot.
I also don't know why they would be doing this is they haven't been guaranteed the Prospects land, either by direct sale, or by CPO...
I suppose, however, that it is possible that they will start by demolishing the flats, which can be done before the stadium is ready.
