New £55 million investment into The Amex?

[wellquickwoody]

Just reported on BBC Southeast news. Didn't catch all the details, but included a hotel and conference centre I think.

Has anyone heard even a whiff of a rumour about this?

Where is that going to go?

Front page of Argus.

New hotel, MULTI STOREY car park and student accomodation next to the AMEX.

Build on Bridge Street car park, and 'plot east of the AMEX'.

So Baker was right all those years ago with his 'dynamite' allegations.

Who is the applicant? The club? If there is Uni accommodation then is it a joint application?

 

[sparkie]

Oh no.

Hotel will be partly in LDC planning jurisdiction.

 

[Daffy Duck]

"They" being the club.

 

[Notters]

Oh no.

Hotel will be partly in LDC planning jurisdiction.

We will be a League one team with not only the biggest stadium but also the biggest hotel. ,..Meanwhile we invest nothing where it matters and that's on the pitch.

Financial fair play? Financial bollocks more like!

 

[Sergei's Celebration]

It can't fit on the current plot can it? East would put it into the fields.

 

[Timbo]

Haha, all those moaning residents were right all along!!! Have some of that.

[Giraffe]

Odd timing. Very odd.

It's shocking, isn't it? A team of freebies moonlighting as plumbers, postmen, decorators, janitors and accountants to make ends meet.
