Stadium Update

I assume our major shareholder and colleagues already have plenty of the plans in place and just need to confirm the proposals with 3rd parties before putting something substantial to the council by Nov?

Unsure if its been mentioned on this thread but the Park Ward residents have a Stadium meeting on Monday 5th September 1930 being led by Defreitas.

LOL Assuming that you mean 19:30 we could really do with a group of residents of Park Ward being at the meeting to present counter arguments....

One of the first things that needs doing is De Freitas's bubble about 100% opposition in the ward to the stadium being burst.

I'm not at all sure that is the intention of the next couple of months. It is more about finding out whether it is feasible to create the infrastructure etc. to support the eventual plans so I'd expect Highways amongst others to be reporting back. It isn't the club's role to decide on those sort of things. From now on N.E. Lincs council have a massive enabling role in the whole project.

I'm not saying this with any prior knowledge as I know as much (little?) as the next person but at the very least you'd expect interested parties to firm up their commitment.

A meeting to report on a report and decide on when the next meeting is.....

WHY DOESNT SOMEONE JUST GET ON WITH IT FFS  ?????  

And breathe....massively important for the Council to go through the necessary steps. Far too much at stake for it to fall flat on its face further down the road...

How many years do they need ?

All we want to know is,

1. When will the building start.

2. When will it be completed.

With all 4 sides in one go hopefully.

And what it's gonna look like Pete!

What are the main reasons Freeman Street was a no go?

Today Hounslow Council completed the Compulsory Purchase Order on the land needed for the new Brentford stadium development.

That looks pretty impressive and at the heart of a community

Looks very similar to Freeman Street at the moment, if you imagine the stadium where Boyes is.

What are the main reasons Freeman Street was a no go?

I think Freeman Street would be fantastic, however I think the issue would be the enabling development, which is where the money for the new stadium would come from. It would need space for either a retail or housing development (which Peaks Parkway has) and Freeman Street arguably doesn't.

Having said that, I've favoured Freeman Street all along. I think it would regenerate an area which much needs it, it would build a stadium in the heart of the community and in an area which is an intrinsic part of the town's heritage. A stadium at Freeman Street has the potential to work wonders for the town, and as such if the council could put money in (again difficult in current climate) it could potentially mitigate the need for enabling developments.

There was the EU funds for regenerating deprived areas which we could potentially have tapped into, however although we haven't actually left yet, I doubt we'd be top of the list at the moment...
