If the training ground goes ahead Dundee Football Club will have to pay to use it as the planning application was submitted by the Dundee FC Community Trust which is registered as a charity with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) who are based at Riverside Drive in Dundee.
Everything has to be above board with outside groups including Dundee Football Club paying to rent the training grounds at Riverside assuming that they are ever built.
In my opinion it suits Nelms to keep dragging things along as it keeps him in the public eye and he does not have to state where the funding for his new stadium development at Campy Nou is really coming from.
A 100 year mortgage on a depreciating commercial asset does not fit the bill especially as I have never heard of financial companies granting 100 year mortgages for a new commercial development.
I suppose Nelms could go ‘cap in hand’ to Soho Green to ask “Please sir came I have another ?95 million in funds to pay for my new stadium development at Campy Nou which is currently a piece of waste ground”.
