What was the 'community asset' thing that some people got Brockhall registered as a few years ago?

It was opposed by the club and subsequently rejected.

Had they not opposed it I reckon it would’ve snook through, although in all honesty it would be a bit of a stretch for Brockhall to be considered for an ACV.

Cheston was quizzed about why the club opposed it at one of the consultation meetings. I might have some notes somewhere, I’ll see if I can dig them out.

170 units at average of 400000 a house is approx 68million gross development value

 

Seems a tad optimistic but half that would cover what they've put in since the reset after the audits etc.

Could even have been borrowed against in advance.

Yep. Chuck in £20m for Arma and they’ll certainly be hanging around to see what could drop next.

@callumrovers did say earlier today that  ‘several announcements’ out of the club were imminent...

I did, not to sure if this was one of them though!

Someone actually said to me today he reckoned the only thing the present manager was hanging around for was to see the fruits of his labour flogged off.

Are you able to share what any of the announcements are rumoured possibly to be?

Go on, you might as well finish us off with the rest. 10 year contract for Mowbray? Ewood to be renamed Persimmon Park?

Waggott got the job here, eye-watering salary and all, on the basis he would generate cash and reduce overheads/reliance on Venkys.

He has to justify that salary somehow and something like this will more than make up for his pitiful commercial and ticketing efforts over the last 3 years.

I dont think Venkys will have set this in motion. They could have done it years ago if they were that bothered. They just don't care. Into the void come all sorts of chancers and agendas.

All ive been told is Waggot is retiring early, pushed for the other annoucements,but as of yet, not heard back.

Fixed it for you.

@callumrovers Waggott retiring early is a pretty specific rumour. Is this a 50/50 possibility or is there a higher chance of it happening.

Two words came to mind when I saw this. Mark Venus. He tried this at Coventry and it looks like he is trying it again here. I don't think this idea has come from Venky's. Sick of these chancers.

Questions over Coventry City training ground go unanswered - CoventryLive (coventrytelegraph.net)

[tomphil]

Already plenty comments flying about 'no big deal they don't use that bit anyway'    - 'why does it matter if it's empty land, TM will get the money to buy player'.....

Some people are beyond help, never mind though there might be enough spare change to build the Mowbray statue for the groupies.

If it's called the Mowbray Estate then like his teams with players in the wrong positions,the Kitchen will be where the Garage should be,the garage will be where the bedroom should be and the toilet will be in the back garden.

It might not be anything to do with Venus.

Then again, its one hell of a coincidence isn't it?

I don’t understand all the acv stuff and legislations so if this is genuine harmless or helpful thing and I’ve jumped the gun I will apologise in advance but from comments of fans and previous form something doesn’t sit right with me. If the vultures are cashing in on the training ground and spinning us some bs about needing to move into one building etc then this puts Tony , swag and Venus firmly in the kean camp in my eyes. In fact worse than kean as they are actually pissing all over jack walkers life’s work and dreams . Thin ice time with these lot

You might be right, however, it certainly is a heck of a coincidence that this has happened at two clubs he has been at.

Totally. We need a strong local journalist to get to the heart of this. Rich Sharpe, stand up and make a name for yourself

[gumboots]

They moved the senior training up to what used to be the academy in the first place because the lower site wasnt big enough, so how it's supposed to be big enough for seniors and academy I dont know. It will of course go straight through planning because even if RVBC oppose it, which they probably wont, central government will overrule. It's happened with every refused planning application in the last 10 years. Just concrete over the Ribble Valley. There'll be no green space left soon.

This is the reason I’m concerned as it’s the same three stooges trying to pull off the same stunt with no one to have rovers best interests

From a supporters point of view it’s horrible, goes against Jacks legacy and feels a real kick in the teeth.

From a cold business perspective there’s mega money in it; I think it’s one of the first things any new owners would look at most likely.

Thats a sad state of affairs but it’s what it is now; even those buying clubs in the top flight are now using every bit of club assets to offset their outlay
