British Land - New Stadium

[The Big Dady]

Out of curiosity, what's been the longest spell between official FF related statements/announcements, since say 2008?

About 8 years :winking:

 

[Tommy2holes]

It's getting beyond a joke. The next thing will that brexit has scuppered plans etc. There is always going to be an excuse with Ron. We aren't ever moving with him at the helm.

 

[Dubai]

There will be a positive update from Ron, British Land and one other development company involved in January...FACT


As with every development BL where involved with....Brexit vote just made them a little wary, but things will continue to progress.

It's not BL anyone is complaining about.

Ron has failed to even start the stadium he has set his goal on in over 8 years....there's a FACT for you.

Sainsbury's pulled out not Ron

But SURELY if BL are delaying a decision (which I believe is now sorted) Ron can't just carry on...? Actually no, you've made a good point. Ron should've made everyone vote remain to not delay an annoucement..?

Ron shouldn't carry on. He is woeful debt ridden clueless fake businessman.

And bankrolling our club. If he goes, the club goes.

Wish I was a fake businessman if it meant owning a football club, living in a lovely house and running a property business.

Just register yourself as a new company. It will be more profitable than Rons on day one. You prob have your name on your own house so you're doing better on that front.

Don't be silly. The club were around almost 100 years before Ron even had anything to do with SUFC. Since he has been involved we have increased to record debt levels. Conclusive evidence.

What will you do if the council say yes

 

[McNasty]

Sainsbury's pulled out not Ron

That is why you need your own money to develop projects like this.

To be fair to Ron, the club was on its knees when he took over and he certainly kept it afloat at that time. None of us will ever know if another knight in shining armour with far deeper pockets would have come along in time if Ron hadn't, but I don't recall there being a queue of multi-millionaires fighting over us back then. Besides the debt you speak of is mainly owed to Ron & his companies anyway so he's hardly going to foreclose on himself. I'm not for or against Ron, but i do believe he has done his best for the club in very difficult circumstances in recent years.

Yes agreed. Both he's both the angel and the devil in equal measure.

How is it that a man who is a property developer, can't actually develop property. Have Martin dawn plc actually developed anything recent?

What is the hold up?

The council have been very accommodating since day 1.
British Land know what they are doing.

It must be funds. If he hasn't been able to get the necessary funds in 8 years then he might as well give up.

They weren't for the first 20 Years. Hence uncle Vic's threat to move to Basildon.

We still don't have permission for the current scheme, so Ron or anybody else can't do anything until then. I know that spoils anti Ron rants but its the truth.

I'm not talking about vics time.

Since Ronald Martin has been in charge the council have backed every scheme that he has put to them.

He has had planning for various different versions of the new stadium.

The fact we don't have planning for the latest version is simply because it has not been submitted. How is that the fault of the council?

How many times can the council agree to plans only for them to be taken away torn up and more ambitious plans pushed through. There is a limit.

Southend borough council and Rochford district council have more than southend united to think about.

Didn't stop another one from becoming President of the USA.:winking:

Neither of those statements are true.

We have had plenty of threads were people have explained how a planning process works, but you don't seem to want to listen.

BL are not a charity so they were never going to agree to the Sainsbury's plan. FF now has more retail because the RH site is of no use to BL.

Whats stopping you ?
