That's a hell of a conclusion to jump to. can you link to any reliable stories that would suggest that?

Steve Simms was asked the question last night. Last he heard, Peel are negotiating to take over the reigns from Red City Developments vis-à-vis buidling the new stadium on the allocated land. The stadium design won't include a hotel or the conference facility. Whether that means the structure will be much different, he didn’t know. He is aware that John and Howard have sunk a considerable amount of money into the project.

More worringly how will the lack of hotel or conference facility affect our potential to bring money into the club?

How about the Race Course and Port which will be part of the stadium buy in with the council, but Steve did sait would be used most of the time Concerts and that sort of thing, but Sale can not have the land, the only use for the land is for a stadium.
Unless Labour are voted out and the Worsley Tories get in then the stadium will not be built,

What does this word mean Pev???

Is there a plan to have Manchester United reserves using the new stadium? Or was it just rumoured?

It would bring it much needed revenue to the club.

PIPO its the "D" "T"s typing in a dark room and missing the correct key.

sait = said

Current options are for either 12 or 20 thousand stadium. Project Director at Peels want 20 & to be on site by next summer once the legals have sorted the land issue.

I'm led to believe that the 12k stadium idea has been thrown out, as the Council will only allow a 20k stadium to be built on the site. But yeah the land issues are holding things up a little at the moment but once they're sorted it [ishould be[/i all systems go.

what land issues? I thought all these had been sorted with it being council owned land?

so did I

It has been put somewhere on this board. It's just something to do with the name that the land is registered with. The land has to be changed from Red City Developments name into Peel's name as RCD no longer exist, so it's just a legal matter.

So the Council do own the land, but the registered developer has changed.

more money for solicitors

Is that a demand or a comment?

Always amazes me how simple things like this drag on.... cross out Red City Developments (or Tipex), and write in Peel Holdings.... Job done... get on with it.
