Announcement tonight? : Wed Mar 12, 2014 6:42 pm  

According to P&C express and the TigerTalk twitter there is an announcement being made at 12am that is "worth staying up for"

Possible stadium development? I doubt they would make a big deal out of a minor thing given what happened last time we thought we had one nailed on..

From the tone of the statement it certainly sounds a bit more than perhaps a player contract extension. Really excited now.

Yep, brand new stadium plans. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/m ... CMP=twt_gu They seem v. confident. The company involved have a good track record.

There seems to be some major players involved with this. We shall see!

We've seen the pictures before, we've applied for the planning permission before, we've sold our ground a thousand times before. Call me Scrooge but I just wish they wouldn't put a timescale on these press releases.

Sorry for being such a pessimist but we've been let down so many times before.

Is that someone with a Fev shirt on in front of the Tigers crest ?

I think the kicker is that this time it is being funded in its entirety by someone else. Last time we were promising to cough up money we didn't even have.

It sounds similar to the Newmarket development regarding the funding model, the only difference been Tigers owning their current stadium. I wonder if the build is reliant on so many retail outlets been accomodated ?
