You're right. It makes me laugh when I see suggestions that property developers or a Supermarket chain might buy SMS and build on the land. Think how much it would cost just to tear the bloody thing down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not have designs for the club as well B. is not looking to make money renting to the club or C. there will be no deal for the club, so someone different may buy it but can't for the life of me see what they will use it for to make a decent profit.

Phew that's cleared up - no neither are wise Seems the Echo tried to spook some people they know with a story saying yadda yadda as if it was common knowledge. They then thought it was the Echo saying it was rather than the Echo saying is it? Interestingly it was a name that was mentioned in conversation after the game in the pub when people were speculating about who the other bidding group could have been backed by. So no, we don't know and panic over seems the Echo is recruiting bar staff as their sources these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locks heath saint 2 Posted 15 May, 2009 Share Posted 15 May, 2009 If there are 9,000 season tickets then assuming we can get the ground from Aviv for 15,000,000 or less, then its £1,666 each and if there are 14,000 season tickets its £1,071 each, I do not have the cash but I have a credit card. Its a thought! we buy the stadium, and have a 14 thousanth share (or 9 thousanth) of sms and rent it to the new owners (something to leave to the the grandkids) that way we keep the ground and the owners are the custodians of the actual club gives the share holders of the ground a fair clout in the running, if required, the owners pay for the rates up keep etc and we choose which balti pies & beer we sell. Its just if you start splitting the dept amongst the season ticket holders, it becomes a not to unmanagable sum. In the grand scheme of things.

Probably a bit late but might have been a better option than the pledges as there is something tangible involved. Rental could be waived in return for free/lower season tickets etc, sure there must be plenty of options. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertySFC Posted 16 May, 2009 Share Posted 16 May, 2009 Martin St Qinton? Well if the info I recieved was right , that is all he is interested in, purchasing the ground on a basis where it is rented back to who ever is running /owning the SFC side. Not interested in chairman or any thing , its just purely a business opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no doubt that SMS itself is a real assest. If MSQ is to purchase the ground, to rent to SFC there is so much scope for other events to be happening . As I asked in a previous post to any one who has close connections to the club whether this offer is on the table , as of yet no one has denied or comfirmed it. I'm not sure how it would be recieved by fans if we the football club did not own the ground , maybe the bidders on the table dont have sufficient funds to buy the team and ground together or the options on the table about seperate deals for the ground and club is the sticking point. I wish some one ITK could ask around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't happen, Southampton and P*rtsmouth are one of the only rivals from different cities that are 'twinned' which means they are prevented from playing on the same day, so I very much doubt we would be able to play in the same City!

SN5_Saint Posted 17 May, 2009 Share Posted 17 May, 2009 The stadium is essentially useless to anyone for day to day use apart from SFC. That's not to say it wouldn't be of interest to the council or a 3rd party to rent back to the club. And it feels like there in lays a degree of security that Norwich Union are going to be keen to do a deal with someone who wants to save the football club.

TNT Posted 17 May, 2009 Share Posted 17 May, 2009 I actually think this is a worthy debate as delays by threatening to sell the stadium to a third party to get more money seem very relevant. Can someone tell me if a more higher sum is gained by the administrator that they in turn get a higher commision ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solentstars Posted 17 May, 2009 Share Posted 17 May, 2009 i think the owners of saints need to own the club when ron noades owned the ground at crystal palace ,he upped the rent to silly levels after he sold crystal palace football club to simon jordan .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Noades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
