The stadium has to be built,it is part of the planning consent for the Quadrant, the council donated the land to BUFC that it is being built on.
Did nobody watch the podcast at the council planning meeting,when the plans were being passed.
If you had then you would have known that, David Newton is legally bound to build it, if he doesn't then he will be in breach of planning laws, and face huge fines sanctions.
Probably enough to put chestnuts out of business.
But DN does not have to build it before the Quadrant is built,there is obviously a timescale to allow him to generate money for the stadium from the Quadrant.
Why wouldn't he build it anyway,after all he has done for the club, so far ge has delivered everything he has promised.
After loosing the sport England grant, he could have come cap in hand to the Jo public to raise funds,but what has he done,he has decided to sell off the commercial land on the Quadrant to raise the money for the shortfall in funds for the stadium, no doubt these commercial plots were going to be leased out to generate long term income for Chestnut homes, so he is loosing money there.
After all just remember one thing,this club has no assets and you try building a stadium without any money in the bank, because that's what DN is trying to do.
If we have to ground share,so be it, but I have no doubt that DN has that already planned out as a contingency anyway.
That's what makes a successful businessman, always planning and thinking ahead.
