Sorry to be rude, but what's happening with ya ground now? Haven't seen any update for a while?

THe lack of update tells you everything

Sorry to hear that. Was hoping you was getting summert sorted.

On the basis that MC has been very vocal about inactivity in the past, I take the lack of updates as a positive that things are going on behind the scenes.

Hate to be that guy but seen as MC was on RL on RY about 2 weeks ago, he got asked the stadium question and he said he hasn't received any information from 88m to look over yet, that was promised for the end of January, so he couldn't say any more than that.

With respect they are not statements of interest, the article clearly states they are committed. Next time you drive past have a look at the new flag poles there, each one represents a brand that has signed up to occupy a plot.
Fair enough to you the article doesn't actually mention a trigger point but its common knowledge that the stadium has to be built first. Isn't that what Box was referring to when he alluded to getting you the same perfect deal that we have?

There might not be a trigger point in the s106 and it does state that the stadium has to be built first but don't think that that means there isn't a trigger point - the development needs to be commercially viable before any developer would build a £12M stadium.
Four committed retailers does not make it a viable development at this stage.

I'm not having a go, and I hope you do get your stadium but experience has told us that what developers say and do are very different. They're trying to be positive as that will help attract other retailers too but you're a way off that yet (in my opinion).

Don't they need ten tenants signed up before construction starts or have I dreamt that newgroundb4wakey?
It's all irrelevant regarding construction, they've apparently put up 15 flag poles today so alls well.

Thanks Fordy, thats a very considered and honest post. I do realise how much you've all gone through and thats why I hope I don't seem over confident without reason and I only usually reply to people doubting it or putting false info on here about it. Although yours has dragged on for an eternity its easy to lose track of how long ours has gone on for and I think thats why some facts get forgotten or blurred over.
I'm fairly sure if I sifted through I could find the condition that says building of the retail can start but none can be occupied or trading until the stadium is handed over. This would indeed seem to be the perfect solution but leaves us open to the same that has happened to you so we are all hoping Lateral, Axiom, and GMI are a little more honourable than Yorkcourt. As far as I know there were supposed to be 20 flagpoles going up each with the logo of a company that has already committed.
For what its worth I think I'm about as neutral as it gets as I'm sure I've stated more than once on here that I'd prefer for Cas to stay at revamped Wheldon Road and Trin to stay at a revamped Belle Vue. We'll just have to wait and see.
