    Work has stopped on the building aspects, from what I understand
  • Was Swisdom involved in work down there , can he shed any light

    Was told that work is being stopped at training ground can anyone shed any light on this , thought RD might be starting to think bollocks to all this and wants out ?

    yes, @boogica I heard similar last week. From a good source.

    AFKA it was a very good source can't say who, but was told all the protesting maybe working?
  • The one for Footscray Rugby Club is to help us and them. We need to have a certain number of active pitches and would fall below this level whilst works were ongoing. We've said we will put up a couple of pitches on their land, we would share them and then they can keep them once we are fully up and running.
  • oooohhhh.... this sounds good...

    I hope he is starting to second guess himself, unsure of the best move forward...
    One minute writing angry emails, the next stopping the work...

    Cracking up! He's cracking up!
  • Perhaps it is on hold not because of the protests but the threat of relegation. His rant was due to the money he can finally see losing by going down.

  • I've only just seen this... any more news this week?

    As @Dazzler21 has pointed out, this is the one positive that the regime - as well as those who support it - have been clinging on to. If there's a U-turn or stoppage here then things could get very interesting...
  • One to be brought up at the fans forum I think @rikofold
  • Does anybody have any updates on this at all.
    If work is going to schedule it is significant, the regime uses natty little phrases like 'phase one', so if it is ongoing then presumably Roland is staying.
    If it is halted for technical reasons, or availability of supply of materials then presumably that means delay.
    If it is halted because the bills aren't being paid that suggests we have run out of money 'quasi equity' or not.
    If the work is halted on the say so of Roland maybe he is deciding on significant change in his approach to the club.
    Anyway I realise I am thinking out loud, but if anybody knows anything please post it here.

    Question for fans forum, methinks.

    I think if it has been halted , one reason could be Due to that in league one and two - money invested has to be put in as equity and NOT as loans- something I would imagine Roland wanted to do AKA load us up with £12m of debt on the academy

    Capital investment is exempt, I think, as is revenue spending on the academy, at least in the Championship? I assume it is in L1 too, but haven't checked.

    Edit: actually if L1 is just based on wages to turnover, it's irrelevant, not exempt.
  • The Footscray Rugby Club stuff goes before planning on 4 October.

    Interesting - this might explain why Russell Slade attributed delays to "access", but it doesn't really stack up as the issue is supposedly about a road linking community facilities of FRC and CACT. This has nothing to do with the CAFC facility nor does it explain why it is now to be built after the CACT one, which was clearly not the schedule previously set out by the club.
  • Well, we know a man who might know ....... But you can ask him!

  • The Footscray Rugby Club development alongside Sparrows Lane was approved last night according to a gent who works at the Rugby Club. Now will we see some building action?!
