'That Sadler is just like the Oystons', rings particularly hollow now.

it’s getting closer

It only takes one house not to sell to hold this up. You'd think that's highly probable, if only for one to try to make a killing.

But all the bedwetters said we are skint and it will be put on hold because of Relegation?

If the current owner refuses to negotiate the property will be secured via CPO. That amount would not be as much as negotiated comp, so every incentive to come to an agreement.
That's my understanding.

I assume any CPO can be contested and that would be time consuming. Also if the owner had a sentimental card to play, that could be tricky too.

Picture the scene, Owners chaining themselves to lamposts chanting "Were from Back Henry St and we deny defeat ".

Hopefully not

If Belekon was still involved with the club then I reckon getting rid of the last few owners wouldn’t be a problem ‘cos he would make them an offer they couldn’t refuse.

Dare I even mention it, don't the odious Oystons own some of those properties??

It's good, however when I saw the article I hoped for plans.

Still it's something.

We can always kick off a load of protests outside the last remaining owner property. Kinda missing having something to get angry about.

 

[todayistheday]

What about the old no1 club, have we dibs on that. Expand the hotel.

 

[Bamberholic]

Is the old Number 1 club/now Arcade Club not part of this process of buying up properties?

Was told Sadler had bought the Arcade next to the hotel.

Taken off them in tranche 1

The process is painfully slow and I assume very costly for Simon Sadler, why is it so slow?

Can be if someone sticks there heels in, but generally ends up costing them. The houses on Henry street are fecked any decent offers should be snapped up

The council are leading the “land assembly“ as they call it, so having already assembled several properties, which they now have to manage, I doubt they’re going to drag their feet. The east stand is just one element of the redevelopment.

 

[TSSeasider]

Seeking clarification.

Are the club buying the properties, or is it the council using the levelling up funding?

 

[Dougall]

Must have been weird living in these houses as they've known they've been on borrowed time for about 30 years now.
Do we think they're all privately owned or rented?

Seeking clarification.

Be interesting to know as if they are buying the properties (presumably over the odds) that's quite an expense.

Council.

From what I've seen it's a very small part of a very large redevelopment programme taking place over a number of years.
