The Infrastructure Projects

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

£100m to redevelop the ground!
Where’s that coming from?
And I assume Marinakis will own the ground - and not continue to lease?

:exclamation:  No comment.

Surely no comment is actually classed as a comment?

Going back to the tital of the thread, anybody have any information on what the second infrastructure project is going to be?

I dont know but we assumed it was developing the academy.

Not Forest related although what our neighbours do will impact us, I was reading about Leicester’s plans. They are pushing ahead with an eye popping £100M redevelopment of their academy which they say will be the best facilities in Europe. Its a clever move, will attract more talented youngsters, you could argue they find 4 or 5 decent players and they would make their money back.
They would still have to live in Leicester though.  :D

Sounds like there’s a story to tell here...

Leicester. Mere shadow compared to Nottingham.

The second infrastructure project is rumored to be a brand spanking, state of the art, Academy, situated on land very close to Holme Pierrpoint.

This frees up the land at Gresham Close which is rumored to be sold for housing.

Given the size of the land at the Academy and the number of houses it could accommodate, the assumption is that this will go a long way to financing both the Ground and the new Academy.

That's the rumor circulating.

My thoughts exactly - you’re silence is deafening Sniffer.

Those numbers would interest me away from the football for a moment. Talking about £100mio development costs for the ground on one hand, but a lot of financing for that and a major academy build could come from developing the current academy site ?how much, and how much did EM pay for the club that contains this land with such development potential? Great if that’s true and sounds like EM may have got a good deal?

One thing being overlooked here is the fact that Gresham Close is currently classed as recreational land and it would be very difficult for this land to be reclassified into housing from a planning perspective IMO
