Nunnery Way still prefered option?
« Thread Started on Nov 1, 2009, 1:33pm »
According to the official website:

http://www.worcestercityfc.co.uk/Selecte....x?nid=731&hc=52
Quotes
"The Meeting of Stakeholders on 20th October confirmed the programme for relocation to be promoted to delivery as soon as possible."
I thought the consensus on the night was that NW was NOT the answer. It seems the poisoned chalice has been passed on...

The consensus on the night was certainly that NW was NOT the answer. The board on the night were unable to give any good reasoning as to why NW was the answer still!

The plans for NW appear to be in a state of total disarray, with the former stadium designers and builders St. Modwen apparently being userped by Alpha Projects, and the stadium concept moving from a Landmark stadium to a Meccano stadium of little consequence to the schemes requirements!
If NW was the answer, then what was that hogwash about Hampson looking at other alternatives and reporting back in March?
And this bollocks about the economic climate! IF the deals had actually been done in 2007, then we'd have been ok, but the truth is, no deal has ever been done, not with Careys and not with SMD. They've both exercised exclusivity on their proposed sites whilst effectively spending the money tied up in the asset SGL!
What is the one of the most despicable situations in all this is that if we walk away from Careys they will even reclaim their sponsorship money!! They've racked up costs of £500k which will simply be another debt of the clubs!
I feel very dismayed and disappointed by that statement, which simply proves that there is no way that these people want to take any advice from supporters or shareholders, in fact they have gone so far as using them for their own propaganda machine. This is a total disgrace.

So what was the deal done in April 2008?, the one where SG was sold for £7.36m?

The statement on the Club Website indicates that David Hallmark will be continuing as a shadow director and 'mentoring' Jim Panter rather than Dave Boddy!

Was the piece in the Worcester News another exercise in NW Spin.

I notice no one was man enough to claim the posting of this utter pile of crap!..."Submitted By : Worcester City FC"

Someone had to add it to the website and someone had to provide the document/email with the content attached so just who is responsible for this?

I hope the WN pick up on this latest scam and expose it for what it is. I was at the meeting and stakeholder most definitely didn't confirm their support for the programme!

Yet more lies, smoke and mirrors.

and even though it was a 50/50 land split, it couldnt get planning consent as the enabling development was considered out of proportion!!

It looks like we've gone from a Landmark Stadium to a Hallmark Stadium!

This post might surprise some people, but I believe that Nunnery Way should be the preferred option, only because it is the only option which doesnt involve addtional costs of something like £1 million in contractual obligations.
If the present club has any chance of surviving it has to go to Nunnery Way, but this is the rub, if it goes to Nunnery Way it has no chance of surviving there for long either!
I however also believe that its touch and go whether any kind of scheme can be feasible at Nunnery Way (and by feasible I mean both affordable to the club and acceptable to the planners).
There will only be one company who are winners in all this, regardlerss of what happens - Careys. I think SMD will consider this a worthwhile exercise, but draw a line under it, its a very small insignificant project, a punt basically, which they can afford to take a hit on. The club however will be losers regardless of what happens.

How do you know it is the only option which doesn't involve addtional costs of something like £1 million in contractual obligations?

Because I have asked the questions, and those are the answers I've been given. And it was also disclosed at the cricket ground to a degree. If we are unable to sell to Careys, then they will be expecting reimbursement of £500,000 costs. The club have entered into secured lending agreements with SMD, from what I am aware, SMD costs are met via this agreement, if we don't complete with SMD then they could concievably expect payment in full! Also bear in mind that there is agreement regarding Affordable Housing, which I am assured by the previous project leader is linked with PC at Nunnery Way. So no PC at NW, no Affordable Housing exemption at SGL, cost to the club? Well only Careys know that, but I don't think anyone would be surprised if the Careys offer dropped a further million.
