just for the record I will be purchasing the HOS site above market rate subject to shareholders agreement at an EGM and then I will build the new Academy facilty for Cardiff City out of my own funds and then foot the running costs. This action allows the club to sell the remaining development land and the money then being used to stabilise the club. I am infact taking on a liability and an obligation.
I'm not knocking SB here but that's not quite what it say on the Council's report, its not far off and all credit to Mr Borley if ever manages to recoup some of his investment. I don't want to piss on anyones fire here but the Council, I think I said this the other day, are sailing very, very close to the wind on this one. I am slightly behind the times with the changes the "socialist" government have made to local authority legislation to get more of their worthless scum at the trough but the older rules still apply. A Council or Councilors are responsible for any decisions made and can be personally brought to book to account for such actions, hence they have "officers", used to be the professional staff who know things
to advise them. If someone for example were to complain to the relevant body (I do know which one obviously but let the journosexuals work for once
) that there is no intrinsic benefit to the community at large then the whole process could be delayed.
I would argue that the benefit is intrinsically benficial to the "country" as a whole, not just the areas around New Ninian but to Cardiff, the South East of Wales and by defintion, Wales. It has the potential to put not only Cardiff City but Cardiff on the Football map of the world and given Football's world wide popularity could make Wales a potential candidate for probably not the world cup, not enough stadia, but certainly hosting the European Championships (with the jocks), Euro Cup final etc. This week Newcastle away, next week Peterborough, then London, then europe, then the world, haa, haa haa...
