Thanks for the head is a shed comment - with a first class honours degree related to the conservation of hisotric buildings and architecture and the planning system related to it and a master of science degree distinction in Sustainable architecture I find that a tad strong.
However
No matter what you say you don't get something for nowt. If this is the case why did Boro not get a super duper New ground in the town 25 years ago for nowt or perhaps they never had your experience in alchemy. If it was as easy as you say why hasn't it occurred and why didn't it occur when Boro had an asset to chip in albeit with restrictions related to the covanent?
Sorry pal but I'm fully aware of how the planning system works and how much professional fees can cost. That is not negative.
Even if Town manage to get a site recommended that doesn't mean theyll get p!naming permission. What you want is not always what you get - the planned demolition of Nuneaton library has been approved despite opposition from some quarters who have tried unsuccessfully to get it listed. I tried on other forums to explain how the system works and why the building has not been statutory protected only to be derided.as negative- you just can't win.
As for head in the shed
Understanding construction finance may make you a QS but it don't make you a planner, architect or builder.
If you can explain to me how a club supported by 500 people can get a new ground built with stands and facilities and with no assets to contribute then I am all ears.
The club was looking to do this since Noel Kely was chairman - all they got was two tin stands and a shed .for a social club - perhaps with you involved it would have been different?
All I say is perhaps you should get involved with the new club and in two years time they will be playing at Vale view park or Gala fields in a new 5-8000 capacity stadium with 4 g pitches and corporate facilities.
The alchemy you profess to understand didn't get a 1000 seat stand at Liberty way or a set of football league standard flood lights did it?
As Lord Percy did in blackadder you may attempt to produce gold but will only recreate pure green.
All the best and as I say get involved, your experience will be very useful.
