This is clearly just development on the waste land that was earmarked for the embarrassing Bristol arena temple Meads project and has nothing to do with anything we are looking to do in the area I thought L&G already had pp for that land?

L&G are negotiating a development deal for a mixed use scheme with the council for the old arena site, There has been no application for planning permission so far.

Then again it might be in the club's interests to leave the local media concentrating on the FM whilst they work on Plan B, I've no idea if there is a Plan B but apart from the BP there's been no FM news for months. I just don't see what Wael will get from selling the club to the FM developers, as the BP keeps suggesting is the plan. Would be a very strange move by Wael to sell. In his statement on the new ownership arrangements Wael clearly stated he wanted to retain control. This leaves the door open for outside investment as retaining 51% of Dwane Sports, rather than his current 90%, would do that.

We just don’t know if he has around another £50m to spare, which would be a ballpark figure for a new stadium.

He doesn’t need to have £50m to pay out right for the stadium. Just needs the ability to raise finance and a decent business plan .

Just needs the ability to raise finance and a decent business plan . Whilst you're right, thats £50m if you're only considering the build, EG developing the Mem - which Wael said won't happen. Plus land you're adding a hell of a lot more. FM site itself (just as an example) seems like it might cost more than the stadium build itself

I’d like to think if the Fruit market was off the table we’d of heard a few murmurs by now or maybe even something official. With all the good news that’s going on around the club at the moment i don’t think they’d want to stop that. Then again it might be in the club's interests to leave the local media concentrating on the FM whilst they work on Plan B, I've no idea if there is a Plan B but apart from the BP there's been no FM news for months. I just don't see what Wael will get from selling the club to the FM developers, as the BP keeps suggesting is the plan. Plan B ? That made me laugh so hard I nearly passed out. Who knows though , we’re living in crazy times. #Avonmouth spaceport

Article in today's Telegraph about Bristol Bears opening the best Rugby Training Centre in the World.£11.5 Million it cost and was inspired by the Etihad. Built at Abbots Leigh and financed by private equity firm CVC's investment in Premiership Rugby.Planning submitted in Oct 2017 and it opened last month. So things do happen in Bristol and I don't expect Bristol Sport Franchise is too far away.

Would p p be easier under Boris the builders new planning laws ? If you were building a house possibly, but as I have often repeated, neither Rovers or City have ever had a single planning application rejected. Incidentally 90% of planning applications are approved and there are a million homes with planning permission that remain unbuilt. The idea that we are short of housing because of planning regulations, is a total red herring. Sorry, going off topic.

In theory we would be watching Rovers at the UWE now if Trash hadn't protested, I can't see there being a similar protest if we built a similar training complex at Almondsbury. Although I can't see getting pp would be an issue at the FM anyway it's finding the £50m to build it which is the issue just Bristol Sport luck they got handed the money to build their new training complex.

Would you hand over 49% of your house if you owned 100% of it at present? I suspect that Wael would be fairly happy with his money back, plus a large investment into the club, plus a new stadium and retaining 51%. If I were him I'd give it some serious consideration.

Peterborough to open new stadium in 2023 Work on the project had been delayed by the coronavirus crisis but the club said today (August 13) that work on the project to relocate from London Road was back underway. In a statement issued today the club said: “Peterborough United are delighted to confirm that plans for the club’s new stadium are moving forward following a short delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic with a moving in date pencilled into the schedule. “Following a meeting at the Weston Homes Stadium on Wednesday (Agust 12), the new stadium has been given the green light to resume and the co-owners, Stewart Thompson, Jason Neale and Darragh MacAnthony are pleased to announce that the new ground should be ready to open in January 2023, subject to the necessary planning permission, funding and construction timetables. “The club are working closely with the City Council on the plans, which will form part of the master development of the Embankment, which also includes the new Anglian Ruskin University, a technology centre, pubs, restaurant and additional entertainment venues. “In February 2020, Embankment Properties, which is made up of the three Posh co-owners, and Peterborough City Council (PCC), signed a key Memorandum of Understanding outlining a collaborative agreement and shared vision for a major, landmark development for Peterborough United FC and the people of Peterborough and surrounding communities.” Posh co-owner Stewart Thompson said: “Throughout this process, we have worked closely with the Peterborough City Council and shared our vision of the future and they have been extremely positive, and we have worked well together. Nobody could foresee how Coronavirus would affect everything, but despite a pause in our progress, it is great that we now have the green light to continue down our path and look forward to moving into the new stadium, which will not only be fantastic for the football club but for the surrounding community too, in January 2023.” In March thisthe Peterborough Telegraph reported that senior figures at the club had have impressed by the Groupama Arena in Budapest, the home of Ferencvárosi TC, which they hoped to use as an inspiration when moving to a new stadium, on the Embankment. Posh co-owner Jason Neale told the Peterborough Telegraph at that time: “The way it works is the concourses behind one of the grandstands can be moved, creating the space for exhibitions and concerts. They have over 200 non-football events which they host at the stadium on an annual basis. Everything from exhibitions to wedding events to corporate functions. This could be a real epicentre for businesses in the Peterborough region. It’s very easy to commute to Peterborough from the north and London. “The way the stadium looks is important as well. It needs to be an iconic stadium from a visual perspective and a stadium with a substantial uplift in attendance. New stadiums get a bounce in the number of people who become regular match day attendees. In some studies it has been a 40 to 50 per cent bounce. “So we think there will be a big uplift in ticket-holders, but the stadium will also become profitable without matches being played. We will also look to partner with the new university if we can do something that benefits us and them.” Dr Neale said the club is considering naming rights to the new stadium, with current sponsors of the London Road ground Weston Homes given the first option. He added: “It’s an exciting time. The team is doing well on the pitch and things are going well off it.” The club hopes to open a new stadium in time for the 2022/23 season with capacity for 17,500 fans – potentially rising to 23,000 – with the option for safe standing after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the city council. Along with Posh matches, it is hoped the new stadium will hold large concerts and events in the city centre. www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/peterborough-uniteds-new-stadium-open-2023-2941109

I am usually wrong mind.
