Well yes, that's the prices in West Bridgford.

People who say just buy the whole street fail to realise how much money that would be.

Anyone interested would see the proposed development on a search, and that might well put them off. Then the price might see some movement downwards.

 

[redun]

Laughably, there are some who are convinced that the club own most, if not all of the houses on Rosebery Avenue and Colwick Road.

Another way of looking at it is to say about one month's wages for one player will buy all the properties that would require demolition. Small change.

I’ve been thinking of that for a while without going into the exact mathematics.

To buy the required properties should be peanuts for a Premier League club-didn’t Liverpool do the same to allow
the further expansion of Anfield?

Not so much "bought", more "looked the other way while a systematic campaign of intimidation took place resulting in the last residents moving out of the street and...oh look all the houses are empty, how wonderfully convenient for our stadium expansion plans"

A bit like the totally coincidental fire that coincidentally took place at a factory that was coincidentally holding up Spurs new stadium development, by coincidence

 

[Flaggers]

Suspicious fire at company refusing to sell up to make way for

Totally a coincidence

Buying an adjoining property is one thing. Planning permission is needed to (a) demolish it, and (b) for whatever you propose will be there instead.
To develop a huge stadium in WB means that you have to be prepared to play a very long game.

 

[redun]

But we don't need to intimidate anyone do we. The club has planning for the scheme as submitted. House clearance would just make the site more user friendly that's all and could be done without anyone having valid objections.

It most definitely is if you take on the premise that they're mortgaged and not even bought outright. That would roughly represent a £4500/£5000 monthly repayment for 2x £400k properties.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that's definitely affordable for a PL football club

When I did my 92 about ten years ago, they were planning the new stand at Anfield and all those house were rotting waiting to be demolished. Still one or two inmates, but, as you say, not getting much joy.

Unfortunately true.

It's future expansion or (preferably) complete replacement of the Bridgford End where problems will really arise. In addition to the two it already owns, the club would probably need to acquire four or five further properties at the top end of Colwick Road (and probably no.27 Rosebery Avenue, which abutts the Taylor Stand/BE corner) for demolitian purposes, as well as buying out light & air provision from the deed registers of most, if not all of the other properties on that road and possibly (depending on the height of a new structure) Orston, Thoroton and Hawksworth Roads?

Yes, agree. Shame we don’t but Daniel Taylor was explicit in the Athletic recently that a) we don’t own lots of houses and b) we only own the 2-3 historic properties we’ve always owned and used to house youth team/academy players.

Indeed H.
I recently wasted a few minutes I'll never get back again listening to that clueless Wolfie bloke on FFTV completely misleading his flock by claiming, in the authoritive way that he spouts off, that Forest "own most of the houses" surrounding the CG. F*cking idiot.

The club have just borrowed £80 million secured against the stadium from an American equity fund.

Conspiracy time. Spurs are paying £80mil for MGW (or someone is) but in instalments, borrowing the £80mil means we can spend the cash quickly on a replacement(s).

A couple of plans on the application for new stand show which properties / areas the club currently owns. Blue line on the images. Not sure why they differ on different drawings, but the second plan shows the club owns 21, 23 & 24. Obviously they could have purchased more since then. The drawing is dated 2022.

They've owned those houses for donkeys years. They were the youth team digs.

If they haven't tried to buy further properties on Colwick Rd and Roseberry Avenue then you have to wonder why not? Agreements could be in place along the lines of "when we get planning permission we will buy your house for x5 above the market rate" and that would be a sensible route to follow, but the club have not made their intentions public re the BE redevelopment.
certainly the corner of the PT and the BRE needs to be made a through route so that it will be possible to walk around the whole stadium, and to do that houses on Roseberry will have to be purchased and demolished.

No.27 Rosebery almost certainly.

If we haven’t I presume we have no plans to address the Bridgford End.

 

[Mr H]

Just a thought: Palace used compulsory purchase orders to get rid of houses for their new stand and Liverpool did the same for their new, expanded, stand.

I’m sure there is no political support for this in RBC whereas Palace and Liverpool are/were being supported politically as are Leeds and Birmingham with their very impressive plans.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Leeds get spades in the ground before Forest as they’re not being held up by the complexities of building in a dense, residential, environment.

And the boat club relocation…
