Slightly off topic but why aren't the Yam supporters kicking up a fuss about Sevco being allowed to compete in Europe?

Why is every club in Scotland not saying something about it.

Wee team. Wee debt.

Their stadium is Tynie but their debt is getting bigger and bigger. Yet again.

Capacity maybe 18,400. £ 12 million for an extra 1000 seats.

There's something twee, unambitious and Ryman's Paintball League, Division 2 about those numbers.

Got me beat. I don't begin to understand it unless they are all waiting for UEFA to be the bad guys (in sevco eyes at least).....

Nobody's going to be 'the bad guys' as nothing will be done. UEFA will know about their shortcomings, but I recollect, in an article about this some time back, it was explained, with reasons given, that it was a 'rule' which is rarely invoked and that in Sevco's case it was highly unlikely.

Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Absolutely priceless. I think you should write another. 🤣

Their plan shows one section not being used for season tickets. This section will also have to accommodate the directors box, press box and about 4 rows out of the front section for dug outs.

So how may posh seats , who knows , I'd guess about 500 max.

Capacity maybe 18,400. £ 12 million for an extra 1000 seats. That's not what the pledgers were told when they voted to fund the Budge Folly so no doubt we will continue to hear all about the best football stadium in the east of Scotland with a near 21,000 capacity.

They have not paid the council for the land yet. Seems they got a deal allowing them to build on the land and pay for it when the new nursery is occupied.

About the last sentence, this grinds my gears.

The vendor should always ask for payment either when the land is transferred or when the nursery building reaches completion of construction, as those are factual (and you get money sooner) and they leave no doubt or wriggle room for the buyer to play it shifty.

By arranging payment upon occupation of the building (and not upon completion of the building) the payment date can be strung out for ages...building complete but somehow not yet occupied etc

In these days of cash strapped public sector, this deal should have been payment on transfer of title, pre-construction. Then hearts would have had to pay before now. Instead, the council have made hundreds redundant or agreed voluntary early release with hundreds of staff due to cash shortages.

It's a disgrace

It is. Yet its just normal in this town. Complain and you'll be branded "a bitter Hibby" rather than as someone pissed off at their council tax money constantly winging its way to them.

All for giving them the correct kick in the stanes but will there not be hostility seats as well? Unlikely to be 1800 bracket but it will add to the capacity. Have they paid for the demolished buildings and land yet?

I have no doubts there will be.
