Rugby Mill Chadderton 9 acre site up for disposal

[BP1960]

I read an interesting snippet in the business section tonight's M.E.N that the Rugby Mill, Chadderton 9 acre site was up for disposal, although I understand from the way I read it it's earmarked for environmental industrial waste use, does anyone think this could have been a good site for a new Latics stadium ?

That sounds more than a little bit small. Isn't the Failsworth site something like thirty acres?

Far too small if there is to be car parking and facilities to generate income.

Corney has gone on record at one of the meetings saying forget any site less than 10 acres as you just wouldnt get planning permissions.

Not sure I ever read this, but how big in acres is BP?

I know it;s not the same, we need more space to develop revenue generating stuff, I was just interested to guage the scale of Failsworth.

How many acres was Sports Park 2000 designed to cover ?

I believe Boundary Park is around twenty acres.

I think its 16 acres.

 

The way we're wanting to redevelop the club with cinemas, restraunts etc... then both would be too small.

That, and we would not be allowed to redevelope BP with cinemas or restaurants etc. We would be limited to offices and houses

When TTA took over it was reported that the land at Boundary Park was about 22 acres.

 

The total site at Failsworth, including the disputed land, was reported as about 30 acres.
