2 things spring to mind. Firstly 3-5 years for the main stand is a long time to wait. I would hope it would be sooner. However it's possibly a way of getting round the issue that SUFC need to have a new stadium before work on RH can commence, so is this a way around that covenant? (No one said the stadium had to have 4 sides.)
Secondly, it isn't in Ron's best interests to complete the main stand, it's in SUFCs best interests. It's only in Ron's best interests to complete the retail park.
We have only been waiting 25 years for a new main stand so I'll bee happy to sit behind a goal in a stand that will be much better than the current east stand for 3 years.
BL were involved in the MK dons stadium and they have the Hilton Hotel, who are apparently already interested as they have football experience. Also its the Main stand were all the corporate revenue comes and will include the flats, which will be far more attractive with the whole development finished. If for one second Ron decided he was not going to build the stand their would be a queue of replacements.With all of the extras this must make the newly proposed East stand the most profitable ever built by a developer in football so far.
