Who will own the New Ground.......

[American FLEET FAN No1]

...If it ever gets built?

Strange over at the Ostrich Farm Official Forum, all talk of a new ground is under censorship, because it is the property of MyFC. Does that mean the New Ground will be the sole property of MyFC and not belong to EUFC?

Surely that is a dangerous thing to allow to happen? If MyFC struggle to survive this year and the ground goes ahead, then MyFC folds later, that would leave the Club without a ground!

Where will it all end ?

 

Tears, probably !

[Claudius]

There will be NO new ground for the foreseeable future.

 

It is life on Mars to think otherwise.

 

End off this stupid shyte!Eufc should have ONE priority in it

Strange that, MYFC owns 75% of the club yet the official forum owned and run by MYFC is censoring talk of a new stadium?

If there is nothing to hide why not talk about the subject, mind you MYFC is owned by its members, when did they ever get much of a say.

[American FLEET FAN No1]

My point is, if the new ground does happen and is owned by MyFC, then if/when MyFC goes tits up, that would leave EUFC without a ground!

You can't ask these questions on the Ostrich Farm Official Forum, so I am asking here!

[billy nick]

AFF, i don't think there will be a new ground, in fact if there was it would never be owned by MYFC anyway as they just don't have the money.

First off talking about a new ground while the club is in financial turmoil is foolish in the extreme, never mind in the current financial climate.

 

If the fleet were ever to get a new ground it could only ever come about with funding from the local council along the lines of Dartfords new stadium. And it would be a multi use stadium for the local community, MYFC would have no part in any form of ownership.

MYFC have a track record of witholding financial information from its membership among many other things.

I would take little notice of reports of new stadiums.

I agree Billy, it is stupid to think of a new ground, but I think they are so far along that trail, that stopping now might cost the Club a lot of money to pull out now!

how les...it will save them money they have not got.....its total madness.....

[American FLEET FAN No1]

Total madness is MyFC's policy!

[David Holden]

I think that you are missing the point Les.

 

The new ground is supposed to be more than just a ground, it will be prt of a development that will include additional income streams for the Club.

 

Whether in the client ecomonic climate this will still happen remains to be seen.

 

As regards to Finacing the development this is supposed to come from the main developer (who needs the ground to get the planning permission)

 

At least that is my understanding of the position.

Thanks David...............Wouldn't it have been nice for the Club Officials to have made that statement..............Oh they can't, it is only for the MyFC faithful!

[American FLEET FAN No1]

P.S. Who is the main developer, or aren't we allowed that information either?

They did. It's been on the club website:

"Whilst these organisations can and have helped in various ways, they are not in a situation to throw money at
a new stadium and nor, so far, have any suitable council-owned sites been identified. The club itself has not been able to
spend the millions that are needed so our plan has been to have the stadium built as part of a much larger property
development in conjunction with a development partner who has the experience, enthusiasm and financial muscle to
deliver this type of project"

Developers weren't revealed, but most of this info has been made public. Still, I wouldn't let that stand in the way of a good old moan, Les...

I see 2013 is being mentioned for a new Stadium(on the O.F.), but not content to wait, some people want to change the name of the old one! How about Turncoat Lane?
