From Despair To Where? I'm also bemused as to how Wycombe could make it work financially, it's worth 3 times as much as the club. Given the limitations on use. I wonder if they planned to rent it out as event space in the summer.

Some self-proclaimed ITK people said something was going to happen, which then didn't happen.
Folk on here are now waiting for the next thing the self-proclaimed ITK people are going to say will happen, so we can all get excited about it

Certainly under UEFA FFP rules money spent on infrastructure, youth development or training facilities is excluded from the calculation. Not sure if this is how EVL work it

Not even talking about FFP, whether it's owned by the club or a benefactor, I don't see the logic behind buying a £24m state of the art training facility for a club that averages less than 6,000 in attendances. Someone is going to have to maintain the shortfall which is why I think they had one eye on alternative uses and revenue streams which have been scuppered by the planning limitations.

Forbury Lion I suspect the Wycombe owner is like the sterotypical women shopper...... Spends £22m on something you don't need and announces they've saved £28m because it was in the sale, then never uses it and ends up giving it to the charity shop a year later.

This is my thinking - or even carve up the facilities and have half of the site dedicated to commercial activities, or available for exclusive hire to other elite teams on ad hoc basis (as somebody else suggested before). I'd have thought that that would have been harder to get passed a planning committee - it's definitely going to change the character of the site for neighbours, especially if it was constantly busy, or some events were noisy, or if he needed to build new facilities to enable commercial activities.

Greatwesternline Thing i dont understand about the failed Bearwood sale takes on here is, the planning permission said it was for the personal use of RFC.
Ok, so all you have to do if you want to buy the training ground is ask the owner of the training ground to apply for a variation of that planning permission to say:
For the uses of RFC and Wycombe Wanderers.
Then crack on with the sale.
Varying the planning permission isn't going to be a massive hurdle, the Reading Chronicle article on it literally quotes a WBC councillor saying, we would have approved it, we wouldn't have a reason for planning purposes to reject it.
I think the sale fell through more because of the wider reaction to the move personally.
