I was present at a Dee4life board of directors meeting in late 2018 when Ian Baird told Bob Hynd that there was not enough value in the new stadium development site in the former NCR Camperdown playing fields.
At the time the new stadium development was to cost ?20 million less ?6.5 million from the sale of the top part of the site to a house building firm to build luxury housing. This resulted in a net cost of ?13.5 million.
Now the reputed cost is ?100 million and rising.
If there was not enough value in the site when it was going to cost ?13.5 million to build the new stadium development then there is certainly not enough value in the site which is going to cost ?100 million plus less ?6.5 million for the sale of land for luxury housing.
In my opinion it is high time that John Nelms told us how Dark Blue Property Holdings Limited are going to fund the ?100 million plus cost of their new stadium development in the former NCR Camperdown playing fields.
