Its staing the bloody obvious but with such a short lease that "issue" is going to become increasingly more relevant ie why invest long term in The Valley and Sparrows Lane when the existing lease is so short?
I don't see the deal as lining RDs pockets. If the lease expires and we leave then he isn't going to be fussed about a few solar panels. They are probably more hassle than they are worth at that point.
You could argue it makes us more sticky to the ground so he can double down on rent demands at the time but he would do that anyway so again I think this will have minimal impact.1 -

Investment like this is a sign of at least medium term ambition.8 -

Investment like this is a sign of at least medium term ambition.I just assume this is more of RSK involvement.It’s a good thing but indicates very little in terms of the lease.0 -

Well perhaps it means that our owners are not expecting or planning to leave The Valley in 10 years.4 - Sponsored links:

Don't meant to be the bearer if bad tidings, but solar panels can reduce the effectiveness of radio waves.😬0 -

This is a long term investment which bodes well for the intentions of the club re ground ownership in the future.
in terms of payback that depends on obviously the cost of install and the rate of SEG that the club are being offered (smart export guarantee) solar panels have a guarantee on 20 years in terms of performance so it isn’t a short term investment. The club might not be paying a penny for them as atm the energy companies and investors are looking for sites for large scale solar.1 -
Hopefully they can fix the leak on the West Stand roof that casacades down the steps and ponds in the front row behind the press box whilst there up there.0
