That is different to what we were officially told previously would be happening. Pub in Clarence Place, still awaiting official announcement,although i have no reason to doubt it. As for the doubling of the rent i am still confused not having seen any official figures. Is it a yearly rent? plus yearly contribution to the pitch, £50,000 per year? plus match staging costs? Who knows what other costs? Far too many unanswered questions for me to come to a definitive conclusion. You may well have more information than me. My guess is (and it can only be a guess at this stage) is that the WRU has unfairly doubled the staging costs? Although Dragons chairmen has said it cannot be done cheaper? As with any disagreement/ difference of opinion i would always like to hear both sides take on things and all information available to me before apportioning blame. for what it's worth i want both the County and the Dragons ( I support both) to flourish harmoniously at RP. Too much to ask? probably.daftasfxxx wrote:Really?
Rent doubled. Director quoted has saying the current situation is not viable,ticket office over the neon, shop over the kingsway, pub in Clarence place.
What part of that is not pretty obvious?
If it comes to pass i'll probably pop into Ivy's bush Saturday before the game. Hope it proves successful
Didn't we hear info to the effect of : "the staging costs were under priced all along and they've only been put back up to what it should have been anyway. It still represents a good deal for the County"...... commercially speaking, I don't know what it would cost another club, in another stadium, to receive the same service as the one we get from RP stadium.
The more worrying issue is whether we're allowed to stay there past 2023...... my guess, and it's only a guess, is that we're not, but we'll probably go on appeasing them, or trying to when in reality we may be out on our arses anyway, WHATEVER we do to appease them.
What was it Winston Churchill said?: "appeasement is like feeding the crocodile in the hope that it eats you last"......
