don't think its a stupid question at all,

I've come across some very unscrupulous business men that say one thing and come just short of what was offered on a purpose knowing that they hold the ace card, its business to them where its a passion to us and means a lot more

YC will not only build out 59,000 sq m and tarmac the rest. The up front investment in infrastructure to serve 59,000 sq m would mean that they will hardy cover their costs, let alone make some serious profit. Then they have the rest of the site to develop out.

Don't be concerned, its in YC's interest to develop the whole site so they will not stop at 59,000 sq m.

Thanks

I have no doubts they have every intention of maximising the area its just the timings that is my concern

Slowly slowly catch the monkey WILL NOT DO with our current situation.

Yes the pressure may have died off from the RFL with a view to stadiums being a must, but if anything our own predicament has become more pressured. We should be pushing this at every opportunity.

We need progress, not a meeting next month, tangible progress. The situation at BV is untenable & is become yet another factor which is driving even the hardiest of fan away.

There is supposed to be a clear way of financing the base of the stadium complex, build that if nothing else & start selling investment once there is something tangible to see.

It's posts like this that made me give up.

Yes mate it's that easy, tell you what I'll give you York Courts number and you can sort them oot - ditto the Council/Banks/Investors/Sir Rodney Walker etc etc…...

I have to agree with vasty on this one; you've clearly never worked in business! I can tell you with absolute certainty that YC and the various banks involved won't give two hoots how tenable or otherwise BV is, or what a few fans of a small time RL club think.

We are talking about *vast* sums of money here and huge risks for the individuals and companies involved; if it happens at all, it will happen based on the finances being 100% secured in advance and cast iron contracts and guarantees being in place to protect all parties.

There is absolutely no way on god's green earth that YC, or any other developer, would complete earthworks and pour millions of tonnes of concrete into the ground, just to get the attention of potential investors.

I'm all for enthusiasm, but it's important to be realistic.
