Knowing our luck the FA will slap us with a 15 point deduction for breaking the rules! We don't own the Riverside, that's why. Or do we now? I thought the council owned it?

Gibson doesn't just buy the Riverside off us because it would mean having to spend £60/70/80m or whatever valuation we come up with and he either doesn't want to (understandably) or doesn't have the funds available to do so. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Fairly sure we don't own the stadium and have a very long lease from the council. Link to post Share on other sites

I thought CT said we do own it and Rockliffe? Or at least Gibson O'Neill do? Something like that, might be mis-remembering. EDIT: And along comes the man to say it himself again, HAH.

We certainly didn't own it when it was first built, no idea how long the lease was or how many times it's been renewed since then though. Link to post Share on other sites

It's also an incredibly short sighted decision, as we only get 3 years worth of benefit out of it. Then after the 3 years we are then in a position of needing to buy the stadium back to own it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tomlinho 43 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Wigan throwing some money about this season. If Ivan Toney is available you’d like to think we have some interest given Peterborough chairman confirming SG likes him - fits the mould too. Concern is regarding price but at 23 years old he’d be worth a punt imo. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 From what I seen of Ivan Toney when we were linked in May he looks a bit ‘basic’. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes we did. We paid for it to be built and we own it. The TDC offered us the land at Middlehaven to build it on and it was to be the centre piece of redeveloping that whole area but obviously that took a lot longer. Link to post Share on other sites
