Not a criticism but more of an observation. The plan isn’t accurate as the new club shop / gym building isn’t on there.

 

The gap between that building and the new pub would be a lot narrower in reality. This would have to be a consideration because the Paddock gates are the only way emergency vehicles can get into the ground.

Surely a reason to reject the application if the plan is not up to date?

I liked the idea in 2015 when it was first mentioned. It came to nothing, so the fact it was brought up again now the first reaction is to be cynical and question Norman's motive. There are so many issues with everything going on at the club, including the timing of this announcement given where our priorities should be at the moment. But taken in complete isolation when everything else is forgotten, and Norman's track record of not delivering against his promises is disregarded, do I like the idea of improved facilities, yes I do. Do I think we'll get them, let's wait and see.

Am I right in saying Walsall don't own their ground and never have owned the land?

Bonser owns the lot.He put a value of 5-7 million on the freehold,The Saddlers club,not owned by the club,pays rent as it is on the land.How much for the football club?I said before,he wants 12m for the lot.Lowest ,or one of,budgets in the league,sell their best players every year,protests all the time.But heh,a well run club that makes a profit.Good old Walsall,leading the way.

Wonder what it will be called'

 

Wheeltappers and Shunters club to go with our crap PA system. You young ones will have to ask your parents or grandparents about that one.

 

The vale mag has the nerve to say "Vale park emergency procedure you will hear a message over the PA system". We will all be dead! Every other utterance not audible and I like the way the PA does it's own Mexican wave of announcing.

If you read this, do you see parallels with Norman’s strategy? He doesn’t charge rent, of course, unlike the Bonsers.
