So when are we supposed to find out about the stadium. Thought the deadline was June?

Talks were still on going between the council & owners so it was pushed back. Should know in the next week or so. 🙏🏼

Lots of different rumours flying around but nothing confirmed as yet

I enjoyed my visit to Brandon last night. A good crowd and some decent racing despite the poor referee. My first visit was in the 1960's and I have seen many memorable meetings there over the years. I sincerely hope last night wasn't my last visit and that something can be done to secure the future of the Bees.

Thanks. Keeping everything crossed 🙏🏼

I think we might get an update in the next week.

I don't think Horton wants to be there next season

Neither do I. Extra expenses this year at the stadium plus he said he'd only carry on if it was a 5+ year lease. I think if there is to be a new lease it'll be yearly or 3 years max.

Can't see any reason why it can't be five years.

There can no houses in it for a minimum of 5 years as the councils 5 year plan has already been submitted.

Think what your saying is there can be no houses built on brandon for a minimum of 5 years. Personally, i think you'l get your extention.

The Last article in the Cov telegraph suggested a compromise deal though.

Rugby BC are saying you cannot demolish the stadium but as long as the stadium remains they will allow some of the car park to be developed for housing. So Why should it only be a 3 or 5 year lease if this happens.

 

I am sure we would lose a lot of the car park as the developers would want say 80-100 houses at a guess.

Fingers crossed.

Yes but he it will help the developers case if the stadium wasn't in use a couple of years before he submits plans.

They will need permission to bulldoze the stadium. The developer only gave us 2 years when he bought the site hence the position we are in. The councillor cannot promise the developer any houses being built as that goes through the planning department who have to adhere to the law of planning. It would be very hard for the developer to get any successful application on the site with the stadium in constant use.

Where's the announcement going to be posted.

Councillor Stokes Facebook page. I'm sure Cov telegraph and Cov Observer will have it too.

Yes!! Been offered a new lease only a year but with an extension of a further two all being well. Phew!!
