Yes, they own part of the site, with Yorkcourt owning or having options on the remainder.

Re: Tick Tock : Thu Jun 07, 2012 2:48 pm  

As in Langtree who have experience of delivering current, modern stadia??

Are they potentially involved in delivering our prospective stadium?

According to the Al Qaeda forum, the development won't get the go ahead because by building on green belt we will be killing trees, thereby taking oxygen away, eventually causing asthma in children. You couldn't make it up.

No no no, its the archaeological search for a lost roman civilisation that will scupper us.

Yes, as in the Langtree in Langtree Park Stadium.

It is no secret that they own part of the site but equally, we don't know the extent of their future involvement in both the development and their relationship with Yorkcourt Properties. We don't know because it is Yorkcourt & Langtree's business alone and they haven't told us (why should they) and equally we haven't asked. I am sure that when we get the nod, as we hope we will, Yorkcourt & Langtree will of course be able to clarify their relationships (or not) going forward.

Not just now, but from day one.

Sorry mate, didn't realise you didn't know that they own part of the site. They have kept a low profile but they did have representation alongside Yorkcourt at the LDF hearings but the planning for the site has always been under just Yorkcourt.

In terms of being able to finance the initial works, that's probably good news.

I'd be happy with a langtree stadium aslong as they clad the back of the stands not like saints. Having said that anything will do this City is in such desperate need for new stadia.
