the end is nigh?

[Barry Scott]

i know that we're about to go through the summer of 98 again, but after reading various posts, i thought i'd throw some ideas, theories, etc. into the melting pot.

 

1. i read on here that the council are 100& behind keeping STFC going

2. mayfair communications has posted a renewed application for the expansion of the ground.

3. martin deaner applied for permission to build a new football league standard ground, with training pitches, etc.

 

now adding all this up leads to 2 conclusion...

 

1. deaner has cash (somewhere)

2. mayfair has cash

 

which in turn leads to these assumptions

 

1. deaner CAN afford to but the ground and re-develop it.

2. mayfair wants to improve the ground whil keeping deaner in charge, hike the price up and sell it.

 

but surely, if the council backing is for real, can't the council buy the land from mayfair, have deaner re-develop it, sell it, split the cash three ways, third to mayfair, rest to deaner and the council who re-invest it in another site?

 

or is that just way too hopeful? either way, this club has too proud a heritage, and too good a set of fans to die, plus the potential for this club to really go places (ie mundane midtable in nationwide division 2)

 

plus, we could send begging letters to the owners of americas richest companies

unrealistic I'm afraid young man..the problem you have is not with the private entities you name but the council (any council) who simply do not have the infrastructures to act expediently over these matters...unfortunately football clubs come very low on their list of priorities...we are, you see...assessed as greedy tribalistic oportunists that will do anything to put goal posts up on land secretely designated for politically orientated ethnic community support...not much changed there then over the last 20 years...do you think that we would have succeeded at HFC if we hadn't had the athletics club in our wake...now that is a hot potato that the councils dont want to face up to....

 

don't worry...your famous old club will survive one way or the other I'm sure...keep the faith..

cheers for the support, and I agree with your sentiments regarding councils. When our Chairman rescused us from the brink in 98 a deal was made with the council that in the duration of the five year lease we acquired for our ground they would sort us out with permission to build a new ground o help us get the freehold for our current ground. Lo and behold five years down the line they've done little but block our ambitious attempts at building a sports complex, and have agreed in principle to give the land next door (which we've been negotiating for 5 years) to build a Sikh Primary School. Glorious eh?

I thought the school was going to arbour vale???

[Guest]

dont worry MC...you can always burn it down mate...he he he (see rymans forum, berks and herts cup) he he he

As far as i can remember i done my GCSE'S last year(and passed),im not sitting in jail right now,so i can safely say i didn't bomb my school,but the story was quite funny,it all happens in Slough dun it!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Did you know that when the word bomb goes on the web it triggers an Investigation by Special Branch?

[Dominic]

Why has my post been moderated,all i said was Im not Asian,because the paper said the real bomber was Asian,as far as im concerned that isn't being racist,infact im sure of it,why does everyone and everything have to be so politicaly correct??!! I want Answers!!!!!!

[Guest]

dunt wurry me little mate...it was funny and i'm sorry for starting it off wiv the press cutting....... but in truth censoring forums is all 'ollocks and I cant quite understand it...I can also assure you that the word bomb doesn't spark off any such investigation...nor does golliwog...jock...frog...krout,,,,pikie (i'm into this now ainti...he he ) or the word irish...

 

magpies and camels maybe...

 

anyway...

 

as for racism...well... we are entitled to our opinions...if complaining about russian hookers infesting our e mails...(not to much mind you)....albanian gypos flooding the home counties and any other scumbag asylum seeker taking my tax payments...yeah.... alright... I am guilty... take me away...ha ha ha ha....wot a load of 'ollocks...thats why you aint got the new ground yet...where's it gorn...political correctness dear chaps...wins everytime...

 

labour council in slough is it...oh really there's a surprise....write to peter foster and carol caplin...

aka tony and cherie...they'll sort it all out for you....(tony'll wear 'is indian suit )...

 

what was that....speak up...oh...sorry you cant...take it easy Dom...its all a game mate...

[Dominic]

Cheers Unc but i still dont have an explanation for my post being edited he he he Thame tomorrow it wont be easy!!

[Barry Scott]

i think everyone has lost track of my point, but my point still remains. if deaner could afford to build a new ground then he can surely afford to buy the lease for the ground or the just the site for £300,000 or even £3,000,000, because a new ground would cost a hell of a lot more than that.

 

so the question is, why doesn't he?

[GarySTFC]

Could he afford it? Depends who you speak to.... The amount of money he owes many different people means he's onto a non-starter.

 

Deaner & Browne remain at the club = STFC RIP

Deaners plans always involve lots of wheeling and dealing. Fact is he hasn't got the cash up front, so he can't build anything without involving lots of others, giving, them a slice of the action, thats the only way he could get any money up front. Doesn't mean that oneday, one of the plans won't come off--just makes it more complicated and more unlikely.
