I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I do know that Stage 2 isn't costed to come in with the £5m Stage 1.
It may take a few days weeks or months for this to be confirmed, because transparency isn't a priority. It is because of that lack of transparency, that people are being duped into thinking Stage 2 is all set to go with Stage 1. It isn't. It is shiny picture propaganda.
You'll realise soon enough.
And so it came to pass.....(for QuizMike) The transcript below is from the official site.
The budget of £5m covers Stage 1 only (and does not cover the new roof and floodlight, which are being separately funded - see below). The Board currently has no agreed programme to execute Stage 2; it will proceed when it is in the interests of the Clubto do so and we have funding available.
So at last there we have it.
Now it is hardly an 'extreme view' to point out something that has proved to be 100% correct us it?
I've lost count of the number of people I've spoken to since the shiny mythical Stage2 pics were rolled out, who genuinely thought Stage2 was happening. They were duped by the shiny pictures of a nice wrap-around stand.
What's sad is that yet again we aren't grasping the nettle. If the club are willing to borrow £5m over a 30 yr period, borrowing a percentage more over an extended period and getting the job done properly (Stage2) would have meant that the capacity is there ready and waiting when we get the the 2nd tier.
Instead we'll have a realistic capacity of around 17,000 at best with segregation and people locked out.
Hey ho. Janner mentality I guess.
