Well don't you think that might change if there was an event on ?
Jesus some people can't think.out of the box.....even a little bit

Your box is empty Nobby

Yeah, it's not like it's a hospital is it?

But seriously, isn't this exactly the kind of thing he should be promoting and trying to make reality?

Ben H may not be involved, but Steve Turner is…

Non-exec.

Yep, he was all over it like a rash when it was announced. Luckily he will be disappearing into obscurity shortly, unless somehow Clarkey gets back in and he might give him a job back as office manager given how he was instrumental in overruling the decision for him not to be selected as the tory PCC candidate.

Not really though, is it

In your mind it isn’t but truthfully, other than poo poo it, it is.

I still suggest it won't happen. This is a deal to lease the land, now they just need 70 million quid and to actually get an arena built for that much.

Human league tickets were sold for bog all on groupon in the days running up to it. I think we paid £9 each and if that sold out the capacity must have been fairly low.

Which of these prior posts were not factual or "poo poo"? Sorry lad but you're taking sh1te.

Carry on my mate, may be it might happen, may be it might end up being a crock of sh! t. If it is the latter, I know who will be the happiest.

Northern can't do it for home matches. No reason to think they would do it for any other event.

 

[Juninhoburger]

Has Jacob Young piped up about this at all?

Come to think of it, when was he last even seen in Redcar?

 

[Muttley]

even if it fails, it isn’t costing the good people of R&C any money.

Ah, I must have missed the bit where the development company promised to cover any ancillary costs. They are picking up the costs for Park and Ride, improved roads, extra car parking, station improvements, whatever, etc.?

Of course they aren't and I guess that those would only become an issue as this (at the moment) imaginary arena came closer to reality. As I said I really do hope it becomes a reality. Redcar itself, especially with its industrial past behind it is ripe for the sort of leisure development like this. I just cannot see THIS arena ever becoming more than a paper exercise. It's too big and yet not big enough!

You and I know they aren't, and I do not doubt for one minute that you understood that I meant the arena and are just twisting things to suit your narrative.

I do think the council will have raised these issues with the group but not being privy to these details, we would be second guessing what plans they have for the surrounding infrastructure. Unless you know better?

Yes, it might be pie in the sky but let the good folk of R&C believe and it just might happen.
