Yep.

I asked this previously without a response. How would relegation impact on our move to Newmarket? Is the build, our rent agreements etc based on superleague income?

Nothing to do with it the stadium has nothing to do with the club, the club will be an anchor tenant that's all

Interesting debate on the radio earlier today about the potential to introduce so called 'mega-trucks' to Britain's roads; I wasn't listening closely, but the gist seemed to be that they can only be used to transport goods on motorways between distribution centres, due to their size and lack of manoeuvrability.

Don't know if it'll come to anything, but a development like that could make locations like Newmarket take on much more relevance.

That is part right, but the ability to pay the rent will impact on the stadium, so there is an indirect tie-up.

We can't build a stadium that no one can fill!

It was the rent angle I was getting at. Could we afford to play there as a championship club? And is there any risk that the stadium could be built with a lower capacity, less facilities etc should we not be a top flight club and attendances natrurally lower? Or is the design set in stone whatever, so to speak?

The design as it stands is for a SL ground with bells and whistles, but may alter somewhat before the end of this process.

I'm not so sure Trinity could afford the current annual rent for BV in the championship/SL2? Also I read the landlords (not the BOI) are looking into the condition that BV can not be developed until a viable alternative is found.

AFAIK the design is dependent upon grants. If successful then its a stadium with bells and whistles, if not then its a bog standard stadium. Whilst it would be beneficial to construct everything at the beginning, I suppose its not inconceivable that it may be built in stages instead, particularly now the minimum capacity requirement has been thrown out of the window with the Bronco's move to The Hive.

I would be worried if the land covenant was removed. That could theoretically leave us homeless if the landlords want us out of BV and Newmarket isn't ready.

I'd guess then the full grant applications would be more weighty if we are a top flight club and that it would be overall cheaper if it can be done in one go.

Ultimately staying up is pretty damn important!

Love to play in 10.000 stadium with corners filled in packed out most weeks.

If that were to happen then the pressure to get this started is back on but for a different reason to the RFL/Franchise pressure which we've been subject to up to the relaxing of the stadium criteria.

The developers need to speed up the process and start delivering, they always knew that the stadium delivery schedule was time sensitive. They've got their planning permission, it's now time to make the stadium a priority and stop using fine details as an excuse for delay upon delay.

It's not 'fine details' that's the key, it's having 60,000 m2 built and occupied that counts, and seeing as the first unit hasn't even started yet we're hardly in a position to declare war on YC yet!
