Yeah, and there will be a development surcharge on the site to pay for the trams.
That was where the Yam mega stand hit the buffers. The Council wanted several hundred thousand for the planning stage to progress but the UBIG check never arrived.

Without going over the c23m posts on this subject, can someone remind me of the state of the tax they owed to HMRC before going into administration?
If my memory serves me right, they had agreed a long term repayment plan, if so, the money outstanding will now have been lost. If that is the case why should my tax money go to paying ambassadors, government officials etc, trying to dig them out their hole, they have used up enough of my money already. Get the place knocked down ASAP and get the 'Gorgie Village' regenerated project underway and create many, many more jobs that the current inhabitants do.
I have a vague recollection of a land valuation of Tynecastle commissioned by BDO. Does anyone have a link to this/know how much it was valued at?
The reason I ask is that some people (morons) are now changing tack from "UKIO will get nothing" to "UKIO will get much less than 2.5M from the land".
Lets hope they do get liquidated & don't finish the season.
Everyone would be awarded 3-0 wins against them, that has to work in our favour, seeing as they've been beaten by everyone else.
We'd be well clear of the play off spot.
An in-depth Jambo explanation for today's announcement - "A complete non-story stating the obvious to try and cast clouds over yesterdays victory and possibly everything going tits up at ibrox.
The weegie media hate seeing us happy."
It turned out more than £ 1.8 million at the final count.
The BDO interim statement updated the figures.
HMRC Debt management unit £ 1,881,065.00
HMRC - VAT national insolvency unit £ 646,851.00 ....... Gues that was the Vat on the pre-admin season tickets.
Grand total £ 2,537,916.00 of tax stolen by the Heart and Soul of Edinburgh F C.
Just to remind everybody that it's April tomorrow and I'm astonished to find that Hearts are not out of administration yet.
Is sometime in May the new estimate?
IIRC, they employed 'political help' to bring Vlad to the PBS in the first place. Steve Cardownie and APB.
"Vlad is the real deal", quoth they at the time.
They didn't do a great job then....that's all I have to say.
Still, you can only con those who want to be conned.
I'll tell you what, Robert - the panic is setting in over-the-road and their Head Honcho, Dexter is now asking....
It's a bit late in the day to be discussing that, ya welt. Let me give you a wee tip, Dex - Liquidation means you lose the lot.Quote:
Nobody has really answered what the contingency plans are.
ie - if we get liquidated what happens - will AB step in and do a "Rangers" ? Are we guaranteed league status ?
The big U-Turn is on. Ian Murray (Fat MP version), Michael Stewart and a few others being rolled out on Reporting Scotland talking about the possibility of the Big L and how the fans will rally round. The panic is almost palpable.
April should be fun :greengrin
What are the odds now on them failing to complete the season?
How long before they come up with a Plan B?
Rangers had it built in to the proposed CVA throughout.
Is it already too late to get a Newco up and running in time for election to League Two (or Lowlands League)?
Will there be competition (Shoeless Bob, Massone, Hibs-net?) for the purchase of the club name and identity by FoH from the the liquidator?
Or baskets :greengrin
Basket cases abound but they are all now focussed on why there isn't a plan B. All these months later........... shame really, but they were always going to be out of admin by xmas because they are a big team who owe it all to themselves and Lord George Foulkes and independent Ian Murray are sorting it all out, just like Mr Romanov Sir did before them.........
