Drainage issue? Is there one? If there is, I doubt very much if JB is in discussions with anyone about it. Tony Hopwood would, I'm sure, deal with anything even considered an 'issue', which there probably isn't.
Absolutely correct Ian, JB has Tony Hopwood in position to do such jobs.
However, 8 months after planning permission was granted and even longer from when TH spoke to planning and would have been advised of such matters. More recently he has been back to PCC and yet still PCC are not satisfied about drainage, as Im guessing, are SWW.
So it is no surprise we are where we are. Time is marching on, it was known last year what had to be done and still we await progress.
Kentish Green I think you are being a little naughty, the drainage issue is not rumour it is a fact. My advice is don't listen to rumours, stick to facts.
I wonder if all those people who thought it benevolent of Akkeron to put in a joint application are so disposed today?
The changing rooms and supporters bars due to be completed, originally for the start of the season (2018/19) are a long distant memory.
The work that has been carried out, was preparatory and subject to a separate contract but to date the actual contract for the refurbishment of the Grandstand and the new extension are still awaited. GL Events seem to be in pole position but can't agree a contract for the work.
And all the time costs rise. The original £6 million to include the roof will not be enough for what was proposed. Therefore we either will face cutbacks or someone will need to raise the cash. It is clear SH has the cash but equally as clear JB does not wish to water down his 50.1% holding.
It is sad the supporters forum did not go ahead, but equally, it is sadder the promised answers to questions posed have not been made available.
