Plans have been submitted for some time re the South stand (by a company called Navitas) which includes a community/academy facility (which will bear Allam's name), and a hotel and other retail outlets. The application for funding is at an advanced stage.

A hotel eh? Just what the area needs
Can these plans be read online?

Maybe as they lost out to funding in round 2 the south stand is actually coming from a different source altogether?

That bid was turned down last year. Don't know if they applied for more in the latest round of funding but I'd be surprised if they get it out of the RGF

I'm led to believe it has been submitted with an application for 40% from the RGF (the community element) with the balance financed by private enterprise and other funding sources (sports grants etc).

There was a reference to Football somewhere I read today. Anyone know what that is all about? Think it was Hudgell's programme notes in the Mail, story that the July Derby might still be switched?

Re: And so it begins..... : Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:17 pm  

So we've submitted an application for funding. Sorry, I read 'Paul T's' comments that we've submitted plans to the local authority for building summat.

If AA is involved as people have stated, I just hope these plans were not drawn up at the same time as his KC plans were.
