Quote The Avenger="The Avenger"The question is whether the developer currently applying for planning permissions is the same as the one which signed the contract and, if not, does the new developer adopt the responsibilities of the old.
It seems that by a clever shuffling of owner ships, the closing and opening of companies and the transferring of contracts has somehow led to the shedding of responsibility to adhere to the S106.
It was said many times that YCP were financially bankrupt it seems they are morally bankrupt as well.'"
Hi,
Can I make a bit of a plea we leave off YC (no i'm not a shareholder).
What you say may be correct I don't know, I'm not rebuking I'm making a plea to all fans..
What I do know is this has nothing to do with how YC have partially side stepped the S106 agreement - it was way easier than that and how(who) we were let down by is a battle for another day.
We can comment on YC's morals all day long but what they have done so far is legal. The fact remains though that they are the only people with any money to put our way so like it or not we have to work with them. At the end of the day they are the only meal ticket in town and although fillet steak has been replaced by a pork chop it's still potentially a decent meal.
We can look for negatives and conspiracies all day long but truth is it's just business and we have to roll with the punches.
The one positive about this is that if it all comes off the work could begin within month as opposed to years with minimal disruption to what people are used to - it most likely will be a far less of an upheaval than NM giving tangible results much sooner (hopefully).
I'll state my opinion and it's that BV is the better option even though I'm in a minority in SWAG and I fully get their viewpoint. It is possible to polish a turd, Widnes have and HKR and Leeds are in the throws and both have more atmosphere and real heritage than most Lego build stadiums. I kind of like the idea of us still playing at the Stadium we first used 130+ years ago so long as the redevelopment is a good one and I think away fans will also appreciate a different experience. No reason we can't lead the way in bringing the area up rather than continuing on a downward spiral.
It's only my opinion but stopping at BV (if it all happens) has reignited my passion for the club - something NM was not doing for me and I mean me I'm not talking for others.
