jimsleftfoot Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Could the club have used this site? Is it too small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Could the club have used this site? Is it too small? it's a pretty big site, depends what the clubs plans are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) it's a pretty big site, depends what the clubs council's plans are. FIFY Depends how generous McMahon is feeling, depends whether he wants to inherit another Vance Millar :censored:-storm ….the ball I believe is firmly in their court….but the evidence against the council I believe is pretty damning….

oafcprozac Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) what evidence are you refering too? The evidence that the club were given assurances by both the council and a top-level barrister which the council employed significant cost to themselves. The advice he gave was that the Charity Commission route was absolutely the right thing to do and a formality in getting a positive ruling on the land's availability for development. This despite the club's protestations that the CC route wasn't needed after taking their own advice. The club wanted to be seen to do the right thing after the Oldham Arena delays and ensuing fiasco so went down the CC route, the club was mis-informed at every turn and the council monumentally fooked the application up after failing to provide the commission with a robust case. Pretty damning.. the council are :censored:ting themselves….they have to come up with a plan or Corney and co, can and will take them to the cleaners….

Diego_Sideburns Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 On a point of accuracy, the Gas Works site is in Hollinwood not the dreaded Failsworth part of the Borough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outoftheblue Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Kaskenmoor would be an extremely tight fit for 10,000+ capacity stadium. Couple that with the fact that an £8m newly completed school would need relocating, there would be massive opposition from a large number of homes that the ground would be right on top of, and the nightmare it would cause to local traffic, then the council have got one hell of a difficult task to relocate Latics there.

Well put it this way, if it is then the site is obviously a nogo. But like prozac said, with the evidence TTA have, they could take oldham council to the cleaners, and the last thing Jim Mcmahon wants is another high cost lawsuit on his hands, so its in their best interest to come up with something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futchers briefs Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I know about Kaskenmoor, I heard newbridge were moving to the new site of oasis academy with them The staff are unaware if this is the case. After only 5 years into a £8 million investment on a new build - I think this would be very unlikely and extremely costly should it ever go ahead.
