Martin Clarke Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 The rent for Boundary Park includes all four stands. The OEC only get income from hospitality and kiosks. Not opening the North Stand does not save and rent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution is for him to buy it himself, which he isn't doing. So he's going to have to pay rent to whoever does. What other solution is there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bad news I presume it will be the same on the car park and that’s why we haven’t had our passes yet? Mind you, it was free for all at the last friendly, bo car park attendants on duty. 32 minutes ago, OAFCBilly said: All I can say is keep checking the website etc, sorry Wish I could say more. All I will say is wait for the facts and info instead of reading into cryptic tweets and comments (not that you are!) Now this worries me. What I do not want is to go back to playing football in a ground with only three stands in use. If it means that the stand is in use but the facilities are not being made available then I would imagine the club will offer season ticket holders the choice of moving. If the SLA terms are prohibitive and financially disadvantageous to the club or the rent is unreasonable then I say to all parties to get around a table and sort it out. After all both want the the club to be successful don’t they? Edited August 2, 2019 by TheBigDog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all both want the the club to be successful don’t they? The FLG have laid out the terms of the SLA but not had a response from the club. What we haven't heard is why those terms are "unrealistic and unreasonable demands" and are "unreasonable commercial terms" according to the club. And while they're at it, I'd love to know how the FLG are "taking extraordinary and drastic steps to disturb the smooth running of the football club to suit their own ends to the detriment of the Club and the fans" And also what are the existing liabilities to the club that the FLG have "failed to honour"? Apologies if this has been made public and I've missed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read the SLA is just for the 100 club and boxes and the seats & concourses come at no extra cost but then I also keep reading that the lease for the whole ground includes the North Stand seats and, I assume, concourses (not the rest of the OEC, i.e. 100 club, boxes...) Whether he fully doesn't use or partially doesn't use (i.e.100 club/boxes) the North Stand he'll be pissing off, and losing significant income from, arguably our wealthiest fans (box holders and 100 clubbers) who are able to, and like to, chuck a few extra quid in where they can. Cutting his nose off to spite his face. Madness. Then again, if he's doing it to avoid paying rent already owed - which must certainly be ten's if not hundreds of thousands of pounds - it might make sense to him financially. Would he then be gambling that the OEC/FLG won't pursue the money through legal channels and potentially jeopardise our season even further... ?

Simpo Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 As well as it being unfair to fans, having support come from only half the stands in the stadium puts us at a competitive disadvantage. Just look what happened to our home record from the time of the Lookers being knocked down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look what happened to our home record from the time of the Lookers being knocked down. I think the reduced funding for the team might have helped. Especially when the money raised by the team was put towards the stand instead. I think we would do better with 4 stands open though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the minute O’grady and Coke have been told to train with the youths. Meaning there are not available for team selection now . . Directly affecting team selection now. So if Banny wants to pick O’grady - he can’t. So unless o’grady has turned into a bellend overnight and spat in banny’s face, then interfering in team selection hasn’t stopped at all.

I think you know this really. Not at all. I thought COG had been released...as in...nothing is said and then he pops up at another club. Hadn't realised he was with the Youth. Coke, I knew was under contract still. I just assumed we were finding ways to remove him from the club. AL wants them off the books...no issue with that at all. I hope it works. They aren't available selection. It happens at every club up and down the land...Pulis was told he couldn't play Downing last season coz it triggered a new contract if he did. Stop making it out like AL invented this course of action for unwanted players. If he starts saying Sefil should start over Wheater every week, then I'll start to agree it's still going on.
