The internet is killing them as well as a lot of shoppers use them as showrooms and them buy the product online for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andysstuff Posted 24 October, 2014 Share Posted 24 October, 2014 Superstores might be going out of fashion: http://www.hl.co.uk/news/articles/tesco-a-business-model-overtaken Yep, Homebase announced a load if closures yesterday. As CBSaint says, Internet is killing them, just as the High Street said about out of town superstores. Shopping habits change, and right now at a faster rate than ever before. Can see this land eventually going residential - it's the only use there's any money in at the moment and might not actually do that lot any harm either.

Gruffalo Posted 24 October, 2014 Share Posted 24 October, 2014 I would guess trousers, that Tesco's probably wont go ahead, but that another chain, would happily take their place. If that were to happen (which I have to doesn't look that likely), I wonder how another tenant's idea of how much cash it was worth to 'encourage' PCFC not to object to the development would differ from the amount agreed upon between Robinson, PCFC & Tesco.

TopGun Posted 24 October, 2014 Share Posted 24 October, 2014 (edited) Yep, Homebase announced a load if closures yesterday. As CBSaint says, Internet is killing them, just as the High Street said about out of town superstores. Shopping habits change, and right now at a faster rate than ever before. Can see this land eventually going residential - it's the only use there's any money in at the moment and might not actually do that lot any harm either. Have to agree with this as Portsmouth Council have statutory housing targets like every other local authority and it's the obvious answer as it would be a whole load of housing or apartments at one go, including affordable housing, which saves the Council messing around with lots of other smaller housing sites that will all meet with various levels of local objection even if it is allocated housing land under the Local Development Plan. The issue for Robinson is that he would have to re-apply for new planning permission as there's no way he could attempt to vary the existing permission for a superstore for new housing. And that costs him money that he owes to his lenders. Even if a new outline housing application for the site was put together by Robinson and fast tracked by the Council planners, it's still another 18 months away at least due to the legal requirement for more public consultation etc. That'll hurt Robbo big time!

FloridaMarlin Posted 25 October, 2014 Share Posted 25 October, 2014 They are asking for volunteers to turn up next week to clean and paint the training ground. Wasn't the training ground supposed to be ready for their triumphant return to the city a couple of weeks ago? Please bring your own brushes. And paint. And cleaning materials.

Would he get more money if it WAS sold for residential use? My suspicion is that he would. But maybe he's already 'sold' it to Tesco who might then sell it on for residential use. I don't know....

They're selling him some land that he needed for his Tesco plan. I can understand, though, why the board didn't think to mention that to the "shareholders". It's the sort of minor detail that can easily slip the mind. In a transparent sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much 'banter' anymore, just an avoidance of all football matters! I may have seen you - spent the day down there with friends and his extended family - all die hard pompey fans. Funnily enough every time I swung the conversation around to football the subject changed pretty sharpish - kept me amused all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
