Cumberland Sausage Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 18 hours ago, Death to the Rah Rah's said: Genuine question ...is the new sports centre still heavily subsidised by Allerdale BC? If it is by how much annually and for how long? That question isn't directly for you Sausage, I would just be interested to see how the original business case and financial projections stack up against the actual usage figures and financials now its open, as it has similarities to the stadium proposal. The fact that the sports centre is being used by 8,000 doesn't necessarily mean its profitable without subsidies Good Question but I honestly do not know the answer to that. But as said by Route66 the Benefits are also there to help stem the Obesity crisis this County is facing and getting young people interested in exercise and Sport.

Cumberland Sausage Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Well so much for the £150,000 it was going to cost after failing the Safety Certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on DavidM all that money spent as it was alleged it was not viable to get the new Safety Certificate for Borough Park. The only Good thing is we should have a decent new playing surface at Derwent Park and be a bit closer to the action. I only hope the council plan is not to just spend money on both Stadia as that would really just be polishing a ###### and neither Club would see much improvement in Facilities.

Carlisle1921 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I believe reds are wanting to stay at Borough Park for 12 months while the council bluff and delay their way to what new stadium they can agree on. Then reds will move to Derwent Park for 2 seasons, so the pitch would have needed widened at some point in the next 12 months anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the board are currently in a very difficult place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also extra cost to redraw plans . I would think neither would sign any lease until the Stadium got the go ahead . You wouldn't sign for a new house if there was a doubt it wouldn't be built. None of this could be the case but I think Jenkinson & Co should prove otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voodooguru Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The bit I struggle with on the build cost figures is why to add offices would it add 10m to the original cost of 15m? On face value that seems a huge amount of money for nothing very complicated. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Mark Jenkinson has previously mentioned the Moor Lane ground at Salford FC on several occasions which is a metal pre-fab. I don't like it myself, be some temperature fluctuations between summer and winter standing on metal terracing !! Sure I read somewhere it cost circa £5 million to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerlad Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 the 1st phase of that ground cost about 5m, but they have since knocked down the old stand and built a massive new one with offices incorporated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, although surely the restaurant must have been in the original plan. The rest are just square rooms with services ran in, considering what the price of the stadium cost it still seems steep. The Salford stadium isn't that cheap as either if one stand was 5m and we were getting 4 for 15m. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Rango Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 It’s been a good couple of months for this sorry excuse for a council. First they destroy the stadium project and now they aren’t going to empty our bins for a couple of months. Jenkinson, stoddart and co are way out of their depth. How long before the lights go off?!

GeordieTownie Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 This is the problem when people like this get elected. They may be appealing to the man in the street but they aren’t fit to do the job and aren’t capable. Trouble is they’ll never admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Arrow Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 All we are hearing from the new administration is how risky the deal was for the Stadium project. I've put together some of the comments from financial expert Andrew Lapping. I hope everyone can share these comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
