Converting the buildings won't remove the eyesore though. Need flattening and the area upgrading to the same spec as the rest of the car park and frontage.

Might hold out for a hefty price, I know a house that locally bought a ransom strip of land to stop developers opening up a cul-de sac to gain access to fields for a housing development . It still went ahead they just used a different road to gain access , but the cul-de sac is still in place and a dead end as they wanted a kings ransom for that mtr of land

Isn't there a gym facility in the new stand ?

| From what I have heard the 2 houses and the retail unit are owned by somebody who has past history (Both good and bad) with the club.

No, I checked in detail the planning portal. The new stand does not have a gym.
There were plans on portal for a refurbishment of the south east Cats bar 2 floors. They were to be gutted and refurbished into a 2 floor gym with locker/shower room and a cafe. Including fitness classrooms too.
This should be completed after the east stand but it’s all gone deadly quiet…. If I was to guess then the money that was allocated may have dried up or being used. That’s a guess though and a shame.
As another note : While I have not seen the inside of the stand facilities like the conference room/offices etc i hope these rooms are to a high finish and all plastered etc unlike the changing facilities (which I don’t mind not being plastered tbf).

I was in one of the conference rooms a couple of weeks ago for the monthly film show, the room was very well lit and decorated, a large digital monitor on one wall and numerous wall sockets for various attachments. I found the room comfortable to be in.

That’s good and as I suspected would be finished to a reasonable office standard minimum. Seems it’s just the changing facilities that have exposed block but honestly I don’t mind that and this can be personalised to the club fairly inexpensively with cosmetic graphics etc.
I would like to as a fan walk around the interior and look at all the rooms and see what facilities have been installed in every room from heating, plumbing, electrics, air conditioning and see how it’s advanced and is laid out with operational and health and safety/environmental perspectives in mind(sad I know ).

I’m surprised how dismal the areas below the stand where the food outlets and toilets are, I would suggest the walls or ceiling are painted white to brighten the areas and make it more welcoming.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there someone with history one of ME's advisors during the early stages of the takeover.
Could this be one of the same?

| So, looking at the pitch now, does anyone genuinely think it’s better than the old playing surface?
I’m not referring to the neglected state of the pitch that had nothing spent on it for years but the well cared for playing surface that was lauded as the best in the game by everyone who played on it.
I ask because we’ve apparently invested half a million or so on it and it now seems there are areas within the stand that would have really benefited from that money. The pitch seems to have been a bit of a vanity project but in reality it just needed some care to bring it back to its best

it's a bit hard to say isn't it now Football's being played on it, so can't really compare it to when it was a lush bowling green surface and just a game now and again. if I remember rightly we could have got one for 250k instead of the supposed best for 500k. I wonder what the difference between those would have been for us.

I think the pitch is something to be proud of but I cant really comment about the inside of the East Stand as I'll probably never use/see it.

Yes.
It's winter now and still plays perfectly. Look at the state of the pitches featured on TV over the last few weeks - shockingly bad!
Without it, we wouldn't be able to train on it until summer at best, nor would we be able to host a soccer club and make money from the ground.
No, it's not a vanity project.
