They have to be punished broke the rules and has to be points 6" I think Everton would have something to say if they get away with it.Forest will get no points deducted so our 1:1000 change of staying in this miserable league is finally gone?
Taking out every other seat for more legroom?
First off this is a good thing. It’s not a good look to have a closed down hotel as part of the site.The next bit of exciting infrastructure news!
The hotel’s opening again. Hope the catering doesn’t fall under the Compass deal…..

First off this is a good thing. It’s not a good look to have a closed down hotel as part of the site.
But it does remind me of one of the frustrating things at work.
Someone lets a task slip for whatever sob story, money ends up in arrears, billing behind schedules, breaks on accounts not resolved etc.
Next thing you know ‘progress’ is being tracked and a massive slap on the back when things are on track again.
I’ve always found this a weird one because groups that don’t allow themselves to cock things up in the first place tend to not get the whoop whooping of a successful cleanup project (often created by their own ineptitude).
This actually feels very similar. We let the hotel go derelict and now we are boasting about it creating jobs and being good for the local community. I don’t remember us particularly owning the loss of a similar amount of jobs.
It’s good it’s back anyway but a pity, especially being in the PL we would not have had it back long before now or have kept it going all the while. I know there was COVID but there were also opportunities there to use such facilities.
Still, training ground, hotel. Wonder what’s next? Buy some decent players?
I don’t fully recall to be honest. Was the hotel still running when PA won the court case? It’s part of club assets that were transferred.Wasn’t the hotel under McCabes control rather than the clubs? It was part of the agreement but not a club asset. iirc McCabe insisted on closing it rather then let it continue as a going concern. Can’t see why the club/owner is responsible for job losses.

Just checked.
Sep 2019 was the court case.
June 2020 was when the hotel closed.
But I did find this which supports your earlier comment:
“The deal for the latter was vacant possession, meaning all the hotel's fixtures and fittings were removed and the contract with Copthorne was cancelled, leaving the venue in a state of disrepair.”
This suggests without rummaging around too much on the web that it would make the hotel un-operational (is that a word?!) at handover and requiring cladding etc to be put back and fixtures added, which I’d imagine, was money we didn’t have.
So, whilst it’s been unpleasant getting regularly battered on the field, it does look like PA has at least had in mind to get the infrastructure back on track.
It’s just a pity that grown adults can’t avoid such petty squabbles. I suppose you could ask the question too how much additional monies could have been offered to have bought the required fittings at the time to keep it running. I’d imagine COVID happening at the time just created an additional uncertainty with the timing.
It does feel that common sense didn’t really prevail. But with acrimonious court cases, perhaps that’s to be expected.
There was a big hoo-hah when the hotel was transferred from SU Ltd to another arm of the Scarborough Group for £1 a few years ago, despite certain sages (you and me amongst them, IIRC) pointing out that it was loss-making and therefore better off away from the football club.Wasn’t the hotel under McCabes control rather than the clubs? It was part of the agreement but not a club asset. iirc McCabe insisted on closing it rather then let it continue as a going concern. Can’t see why the club/owner is responsible for job losses.

Chris Wilder:
"I keep saying, we've got good things happening and I'm sure more things will come out in the next two or three weeks."
Wonder what he’s referring to?
Hotel is already under refurbishment.
Deal to buy HSBC sports ground for 1st team training centre agreed and announced.
Cant see anything that can happen on the pitch can happen in the next couple of weeks.
I’m hoping he’s referring to ground redevelopment, hopefully work to start on the Kop in the close season.
The Prince did state last season that was the plan.

You'll never sing thatThe best Hotel in League One. Filled to capacity with Leyton Orient, Crewe and Shrewsbury fans. Fucking great.
I've got one of these (second right). He's great, but after the Arsenal game Mrs Numpty turned him around to face the other way (looking out of the window rather than towards us). I asked why she'd done this, and she said that my gnome "was ashamed" about the result. This very much reflected my own feelings, but we've both got over it and he's facing the right way again.Here it is the big announcement
