Not saying it's an issue. But there is lack of clarity about what happened to the £750k RFL funding for the East extension. Mr Skywalker suggests it's gone towards getting the North over the line, which seems plausible. In which case, sending letters to other SL chairmen to say the RFL's not supporting SL clubs seems inconsistent.

Mrs B., the grant from the RFLs development fund for the East Stand ext'n was not transferred to the North Stand.

The NHS have opted to be housed in the North stand under a different arrangement. The lump sum of £250,000 toward the East Stand ext'n is replaced by a lease agreement.

The proposed South Stand project includes the East corner space (where the extension was supposed to be). Funding applications include a grant from the RFL development fund which I assume is the monies you are mentioning.

On your tongue-in-cheek troll re Hudge's letter, I like to think a person of your intellect will know the difference between capital funding and working capital.

I never actually mentioned the RFL grant as I wasn't aware if that was the case.
The NHS are now to be housed in the North stand though.
I belived the monies they had provided was to be added to the pot as was any cash Rovers had for the East stand but Paul T's idea of the NHS just having a lease in the North is also a watertight idea.

Either way the NHS are now in the North as the North stand takes priority over an East stand extension.

You got your phone working lad?

What's that in picture 3?

No my phone is dead as a dead thing that has been deaded.

That is a new structure being built right next to the new entry road.
As for what it actually is I have no clue although thanks to Trace on a bit of digging for the other site she has found this.






But that is supposed to be 'outside' CP when the new structure in deffo 'inside'.

Good insight, thank you. On your last point, however, it doesn't take a genius to recognise that cash is king. If I were relying on a RFL handout to get the South Stand over the line as you imply, I would question the wisdom of writing to other chairmen criticising the potential paymaster for not also providing cash to make up income shortfalls/cost overspends in my operating cashflow, that's all. Seems a bit odd.

I like that garden, bit Banksy.
I used to play for a mixed sex volleyball team and Everthorpe YOI were in our league, terrifying place, we always lost.
As an aside, gotta love The Tea Lady. Mines one seam, draws a blank, sees a chink in a completely different direction and pursues it with the zeal of a Jehova's Witness fresh to the knock.

That's called versatility. She'd have made a great half back.

That is twice now.
If you want to talk about the NH letter there is a nice thread about it either on here or on the VT.

Good spot I had missed it.

The structure in picture 3 is blatantly not that pond, it's got 4 walls and a doorway. Security hut?

I would imagine so.
I don't actually think they are connected but the new construction reminded me about the artwork coming to CP which was why I mentioned it.
It is new to CP so is inkeeping with the thread about building works.

I'd imagine they will place the pond within the grounds to limit vandalism.

I instantly thought Banksy too, how cool are we.

Generator/power unit thing?

Could be, but then one would assume you would see channels and chases ready for the cables, I don't see that.
