What a useless twat, only he could fûck that up. I think Soulsby is the Council's equivalent to Rudders at LCFC in terms of popularity!

Belvoir drive is going to be worse, but it is an interesting point. I have been interested in the subject for a long time, and an interesting thing I read recently is that strenous exercise in heavily polluted areas is not really such a good idea, especially if you are older. I know that most of the bad effects of air pollution from traffic fall away quite quickly with distance, and that it is urban air pollution that is the major worry right now. I think/hope any good sports science department will be aware of the importance of air quality, and will stop us doing anything dumb. Kudos for picking that up though, the recent evidence on air pollution ought be making us all concerned. Bring on electric vehicles with some extra tech, to suck up tyre and brake contributions to the issue.

Easy targets one and all, nice to see Soulsby standing up to for local taxpayers...

Nowhere near as unpopular as rudders. Soulsby is pretty popular where it matters for a politician - the ballot box. half of Leicester's electorate voted for him... Twice. 1
fox766 Posted 25 January 2018 Posted 25 January 2018 Yes didn't actually mean what I said and was said in jest. Hope that clears this matter up . In saying that still don't like the bloke.
foxgas Posted 25 January 2018 Posted 25 January 2018 Nice to see we can blow 25 million on bog average footballers but that the hard pressed council is getting none of our wedge. I wonder how much they want for Bradgate Park where Jock Wallace trained his players? 1

How can they be quoted at £1.2 million. Doesn't take a genius either selling or buying to see it had a restrictive covenant. Council are obliged to get the best price any other would cause more uproar. City council holding the freehold and leasing it to LCFC would be the best business for them. They owned Grace road and sold it for nothing and I believe several other notable locations (Filbert street?) LCFC building and holding onto the freehold of the land and new properties on Belvoir Drive would be interesting, or could effectively become landlords Surely though its not in the city? so any revenue could be blown on useless projects and the Soulsby bar empire,

Heymister2015 Posted 25 January 2018 Posted 25 January 2018 Garendon in Loughborough should be saved for leicester's training ground rather than cheap William Davies and persimmon homes being built there
Quorndon_Fox Posted 25 January 2018 Posted 25 January 2018 And I wonder why they've announced nothing about redeveloping the ground.... no wonder the owners didn't say no to possible building elsewhere outside the city boundaries.
Countryfox Posted 25 January 2018 Posted 25 January 2018 Good price only if it was still going to be a golf club ... ie an amenity for the public as opposed to an opportunity for a developer, eg home builder, to get a bargain. Seems reasonable to me and sounds like LCFC were after a bargain .. they didn't get it ... move on.

I think the council have to get the best price they can but, if they are having problems shifting it, then yes a deal should have been struck .... hopefully the council will get what they want and LCFC will find somewhere else ... seems like a lot of time wasting though

dynamark Posted 25 January 2018 Posted 25 January 2018 Lads listen to this carefully .This is gospel The covenant that it would remain a golf club was naf all to do with Peter Soulsby or LCC.Man is a fool though trying to get credit. The land was sold in 1991 for £635 k including a group of old farm buildings .It was not sold off on the cheap it went out to the best bids through a specialist agent with planning in place already for the golf use The company that were successful instigated the inclusion of a covenant to say that it would be a golf course with public access to help their bid for the purchase.This was included in the subsequent transfer. It would not be unusual for a sell on type clause to be included say for residential development but LCC DID NOT put that in the covenant . merely stated that the land should be a golf course with public use and bear in mind LCC have recently closed western park for mucho cash development . 1 1
