Andy_123 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 What is this letter they are referring to? Is it a real thing? "We believe" "It appears" "Could it be" Without seeing the letter, it just looks like more made up nonsense to me. I'd be very surprised if the club didn't buy some additional land nearby and build more car parking facilities at some point in the future. Probably waiting to get a favorable deal on the land like they did for the Kingsford land. Link to comment
boboisared Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 £66,000 raised though. Pretty impressive con to run.Or they've manufactured a number that is close enough for gullible cunts to think they are helping the cause. Link to comment
Guest RosemountRed Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Bert McIntosh's diggers on the KIngsford site at 9am this morning. There'll be a few moosies disturbed by all the digging and commotion. They'll be getting it right in the ear. Has this been confirmed? Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I don't think they are anywhere near that figure. If one solicitor has told them they'd look into the decision for £70k, there will definitely be another somewhere would look into it for £66k. Especially when the likelihood is they will find nothing wrong. I can't be bothered looking back, what was the date the appeal has to be lodged by? Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Regarding the 66k figure... that is presumably pledges rather than hard cash donated up front? Bit of a difference, all it takes is for a few pledges to fail to come through and they are short of their target again. Link to comment

They could share the cost of expanding/upgrading car parks that the businesses could use through the week but give the club's fans full access to on match days. Link to comment

Guest RosemountRed Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 What is our budget for this project for both phases? Was it £50mn? Link to comment
Donnet Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I could be wrong but I think the club have already said that this is something they are doing or plan to do. The club sent letters to most of the businesses in Arnhall asking about availability of their car parks on weekends/evenings. The couple of replies I saw were non-committal "we'll assess closer to the time" sorts but it's certainly something the club has looked into. I expect most businesses won't be interested in doing anything "official" to let their car parks be used due to extra insurances/effort required but most don't have barriers anyway so the car parks will be available. I don't expect the club to build any additional car parking at the ground or on more land next to it. A lot of planning requirements these days are around green travel and parking spaces at new builds are heavily restricted to encourage other means of transport to be used so even if the club wanted to they would have a big challenge getting planning approved. A multi-story car park was applied for in Arnhall a number of years ago - not sure if it was rejected or if the application was withdrawn. Link to comment

Donnet Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Feel a bit sorry for the boy in the house you can see on the far right, his world is about to change. The owner of the land sold to AFC also owns a few of the houses next to it. Not sure if that's one of them but would make sense. Link to comment

Ah right, so that house and land will be getting demolished? The work that was taking place was right next to that house. Link to comment

Henry Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 the club are hoping to build satellite car parks across the local area. This would be an excellent idea. Hopefully on this occasion No Kingsford are actually correct. Do many folk drive satellite cars? Link to comment

Hopefully on this occasion No Kingsford are actually correct.As long as the club are going to build the satellite car parks along the route of the proposed monorail, then I'll be happy with this.
