Quote: Slugger McBatt "The thing about parking is maybe not so much that it is required, but rather that it would be required to sell the hospitality boxes. I would imagine for many businesses wanting to invest in corporate hospitality, parking is a must. "Meet us outside the kebab shop on Donny Road" isn't a great start to an evening of corporate entertainment.
As for the rest, let's just what the architects can do, if it ever gets that far. I would be quite happy if we can get to the point of working out how to make it fit, because it would be a damn sight further on than we are now! I'm not convinced Belle Vue has a smaller footprint than the Halliwell Jones, and I could see one bigger stand being built of all-seating, with the corporate stuff, and the rest being standing. Imagine the Halliwell Jones without the seats behind the sticks.'"
I think it is required if it's classified as a new development - if it's a re-development then possibly not.
