JasonM88 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 A few months ago Mark Ashton said they had hoped to break ground for the building in ‘spring’. Obviously nothings yet happened, and recently Lansdown has said that they will start work ‘by the end of the year’. Surely that makes it unlikely that it would be ready for the start of the 20/21 season, as originally hoped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 There’s a slight problem with LA golf club. The expansion plan involves them redesigning the 13th hole and City paid the golf club in an agreed fee - roughly 2 years ago but the golf club have been dithering and now the cost has risen within that time. Now it’s a question on who should make up the difference? As far as I know it’s still undecided........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean by the sounds of it a fee was agreed for the work which city paid and its the golf clubs fault for the delay, seems fairly simple who should be paying.

You’d have thought so but I’m not fully aware of the finer points of the situation but as off last Friday the situation was unresolved. Something may developed since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking for a friend The club uses the OS on a ‘need to know’ basis and I guess it’s felt that the matters pertaining to the Failand development is a matter between the golf club and our football club - not the fans concern in other words.

Lanterne Rouge Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 It`s almost as if the golf club don`t want us to build it and are hoping if they delay things long enough it will go away. This can`t be the case I`m sure. I`m sure the golf club will act honourably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
