Annoying people who don't take their glasses back to the bar trying to be cryptic and clever. If this is anything to do with the FLG, and it looks likely it will be, I'd have expected better from people who work in hospitality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was to get OMBC to change their mind about giving TTA planning permission to redevelop BP by firstly, knocking down the Lookers. I guess I’m not the only one a little embarrassed these days about my involvement in that event. As they say though, hindsight is 20/20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they say though, hindsight is 20/20 This is very much memory rather than knowledge but I have a feeling that if the redevelopment had gone straight through it may have been done before the financial crash which would have given it a chance of being successful.

Correct, it would have stood us in good stead at a time when there was some positivity around and the owners still seemed to have footballing ambitions (if we'd timed it really well maybe we'd have got a Leicester style freebie).

The 2008 crash was a massive part in the funding issues for the development (caused a lot of replanning after the Lookers was knocked down, including the Hilton Group withdrawing the hotel deal) but ultimately, I don’t think the timing of the Council’s about face was instrumental.

As they say though, hindsight is 20/20 To be honest, the whole redevelopment project wasn't a bad idea - it just didn't get the brains/investment/determination to see it through to the projected end. Ended up half-assed as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked some emails which brought back a lot of memories Initial Application rejected 14/11/2007 Protest March held two days* later - 16/11/2007 Council approved plans on 11/12/2007. * Shows what can be done given the inclination and, as acknowledged by the Club at the time, the power of OWTB.
