SO when will the takeover go through?

[Supa Shrimpa]

Im beleve this hole thing is getting stupid . Ron wants to sell up but either cant or wont untill he gets his own way .The council wont 30% homes for rent .Ron only wants to let them have 15% .Someone has got to budge one way or other .Or the only losers will be our club .

....and us !

I'm not sure this is correct. These seem to be the affordable housing figures, and the meetings this week suggest the council is prepared to suck it up and lose a number of affordable units.

The council is no longer tied into the same housing targets that it was a few years ago. This could change with a new government of course. Either way, it is a planning issue and not relevant at the current point, which is all about the legal and financial mechanisms behind the principle of moving those homes from Roots Hall over to Fossetts Farm.

James (Medway Blue) has already explained that this will be enough for Ron to sign the club over and the training ground, but this is all subject to no red flags emerging in the DD over the next fortnight.

The deal for Roots Hall itself IS tied into planning permission for the new homes on Fossetts, which is the thing to be more nervous about IMO.

Rearrange these words into a sensible order!

control the controllables people. Have a few weeks off the stress, enjoy the end of the season and see if another call to action is necessary as May plays out.

 

[annie1954]

I wonder if anyone from the consortium will make a short update statement regarding Monday council meeting, just hope we’re not going back to Ron Martins sounds of silence days . We just need to know is everything going to plan

Good shout. Going to the non-league finals day next week. £30 in the neutral section (club wembley too) for two games. Fantastic value.

That's insane value. Nice private concourse in club, not exactly going to be sold out but nice to have nonetheless!!

Enjoy, hopefully Wakering can bring a trophy back to south east Essex

...and there's a whole shiny new thread to discuss the seating, tickets and travel plans here:

NL Finals Day, tickets and travel etc.

Although it would be nice to get an update, I think effectively things are completely out of the hands of the consortium at the moment. This is a transaction between the Council and the Rat family and their twisted web of companies and various partners and funders.

I'm sure Justin is in regular contact with King Rat for updates but he can only go on what he is told (which if I were him I'd be taking with a pinch of salt!) so there is, I would have thought, no chance he'll go public with anything until something is signed, sealed and delivered.

Things are clearly progressing with now just financial DD and audit outstanding, and the ability for a quick delegated decision in place.
We have the best possible owners in line regarding the long term future of the club, and a deal that keeps us at RH and ultimately provides £20m for stadium improvements- staying at RH at one time looked an impossible dream and without the £20m would be very challenging. This is a great deal for the club.

I can’t imagine we will hear anything now until just before the adjourned hearing- so we have no choice but to keep everything crossed and be patient- even if the latter quality is understandably running very thin….

Why does so mane beleve that the deal will go through I cant beleve 27.4% say the deal wont go ahead . Can i guess these poepole that have voted that way are not true blues fans .

I think it will go ahead. But if I didn’t that would be because I didn’t think it would go ahead, nothing to do with whether I supported the club. If I didn’t want it to go ahead… then yes

"A malignant black cloud hangs o'er our heads
Like the sword of Damocles ready to fall
A toxic cancer fills the soul with dread
That may yet strike at our own Roots Hall
I spoke that name.....and then I spat
he befouled my tongue......the vile Rat"

Tommy, any chance can you take the bold off your posts please mate

 

[Amwell Blue]

Can anyone explain why they can't start building on B&L? Surely this can be a stand alone development as the players don't train there.

They can't meet the conditions of the current planning permission which says, amongst other conditions, that any houses can't be occupied until a new stadium is ready

Not true. Just because I am uncertain it will go through does not mean I do not want it to. Please remove the bold font!

Plus he can't afford to build the stadium.

 

[Sammy Shrimper]

Nor the upfront S.106 monies that must be paid to SCC prior to Construction commencing!

 

[tommy tucker]
