Jacksons Farm

[Bartosz Bialkowski]

Was just wondering, who now owns it? Liebherr? Was it sold?

 

I may have missed all the info on this and if so I apologise, it just seemed like such a big deal in the administration era and now .... nothing....

 

So anybody know?

[exit2]

Yes Jacksons farm was an asset of SLH and ML has brought SLH and all of its assets, so basically yes he now owns it

[Bartosz Bialkowski]

Oh I see, wonder what he will do with it.....

[Matthew Le God]

...donkey rides and an ice cream van.

[Weston Saint]

Gift it to Doncaster as a gesture for them giving us Brian Stock?

Currently it is being leased to a farmer as grazing land, so a small income is being got for it. But as planning rights have been given to every other farm around Im sure it wont be long before houses appear

And a nice picture of a train.

[Thedelldays]

got nothing to do with the first team..as a result...i could not care if Lord Lucan owns it

[Eklund86]

From what I know the long term plan is for Jackson farm to be turned into a training ground/ reserve pitch once we reach the premiership. Im not ITK really but I was passsed on this from someone working on the new develpments

We could finally groundshare with p*rtsmuff...our reserves, their first team...who'd get the biggest gates?

So in the future, Staplewood for the first team and Jacksons Farm for the youth team? Unlikely I would have thought.

It is located within on the periphery of the Hedge End Strategic Development Area. Given the number of Local Authorities involved in the SDA I don't think houses will be appearing on it in the short term. I know that at least one Local Authority was becoming increasingly opposed to its concept even through it has been in their Development Plan for a number of years.

 

The precise boundaries of the SDA are yet to be determined - so Jacksons Farm might not even be identified yet!

Im not going to get into this, argument lol, but Berrywood Farm, Dowds Farm, Hinkley Farm, all developed in that last 10 -15 yrs with Dowds Farms still being developed all within 1/2 mile of Jacksons, but we will see

[TNT]

Highly unlikely to be housing for a very very longtime and would of been better to create a state of the art modern training ground.

[Smirking_Saint]

I thought they were given permission to build on the opposite side to jackson's farm, so i would imagine planning permission is easily achieveable, other wise it wouldn't be worth much.

[Torbay Saint]

I have put this up before but for completeness:

 

http://www3.hants.gov.uk/elh010_hedge_end_sda.pdf

 

Page 2 shows the approximate area of search. Proposals for the whole SDA have to be delivered through the emerging Development Plan and in particular the North / North East Hedge End SPD. I understand this will not be complete until 2013 (work is not meant to start until this summer!)

 

Dowds Farm for instance differs completely from Jacksons Farm - it was an allocation in the Eastleigh Local Plan.

 

Whilst I am promoting land in Eastleigh Borough, I am not at the SDA. But this information comes from other planning consultants who are.

 

The site has no planning status in an Adopted Development Plan. It is currently unallocated and as you have said is within an agriculture use. The only way the site would come forward in the short term is if there was an insufficent housing land supply. The Council has a number of 'Reserve' sites which are to be used in this circumstance.

Jckson farm for them all from what I understood, but i guess this is all just an idea for the future anyway

Surely that would make the planned development at Staplewood a waste of money.

[benjii]

He didn't buy SLH.

 

He bought assets of SLH. I presume that included Jackson's Farm?

[Scudamore]

Is it unwritten law of the Saints Web Forum that we must have new thread on Jacksons Farm at least every three months?

[TheSaint75]

I have heard that Lowe sold it to one of his companies prior to admin with a hope to build houses on.

I have no idea how reliable the source is though. Not really sure why ML would want it either

[INFLUENCED.COM]

I have no idea how reliable the source is though

 

Not very I would suggest, it has the potential to become a valuable asset which would be one of the reasons why the current owner would want it and how the club came to own it has relevance

Very much "un", I reckon.

That would have found its way to the press or someone on here by now if true! So it isn't true.

[TNT]

The Staplewood upgrade is cosmetic with a new building it has to be said. When you have a blank canvass say like jacksons farm the world is your oyster. JF would be far more strategically placed rather than in the middle of nowhere like marchwood.

The repeated mentions of Jackson's Farm as our eventual financial salvation during the admin saga made it sound a bit like this forum's Watership Down...

 

'Don't worry children, one day we'll sell Jackson's Farm to a rich developer and we'll never have to be frightened again...'

The new building, upgrade to dome and training pitches at Staplewood will be costing a lot of cash to just use for a few years and then move on. It is far more than just cosmetic.

 

Doesn't make financial sense. Why not just draw up plans for Jackson's Farm to move at the earliest possible time?

Well i think you would still upgrade staplewood as we are currently league 1. In future years maybe once back in the PL there might be thoughts of moving to a new facility. Its an option at the least.

The planned Staplewood development wouldn't look out of place in the Premeirship now. So why move again? I don't believe they are considering this.

[oxfordshire_saint]

I've heard that we're selling it to the owners of a nearby massage parlour in Horton Heath who wish to relocate following recent media intrusion into the nature of their business and clients.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Perhaps it should go back to the family that donated it to Saints in the first place all those years ago? Would be a nice gesture by ML perhaps?

is that an invite for a few missing posters to re-appear

I doubt they are considering it but in years to come its an option.

[Colinjb]

Personally I think we should sell it, just so we don't have to have constant threads on it!

[John B]

Who is Jackson anyway?

[Thedelldays]

This has nothing to do with the team. Why do we keep talking about it

[Weston Saint]

It was not donated.

[Wes Tender]

Yes it does potentially. Either because if it got sold as development land a substantial amount of money would find its way into ML's pockets (if indeed the Farm is owned by him since the administration) and he might feel inclined to spend it on the team. Or, as has been rumoured on here, the land might have some useful function as a training ground.

[scott_saints]

Am I the only person who doesn't, and never has given a f**k about this f**king farm?

[Window Cleaner]

It was not donated.

 

Yep, I really don't know how many times the true history of Jackson's Farm have been explained on this site (and it's predecessors) Even Mary Corbett confirmed it.

Mr John Corbett loaned SFC £15000 to buy JF with the prevision that it would be paid back over time, which it has been.

There's a farm called Misery, but of that we'll have none

And this one's name is Jacksons; believe me, folks, it's great.

For everything sings out to us as we go through the gate

 

All the little pigs, they grunt and howl

The cats mee-yow

The dogs bow-wow

Everybody makes a row Down on Jacksons Farm

 

All the little pigs, they grunt and howl (Grunt, howl, grunt, howl)

Everyone says how do you do Down on Jacksons Farm.

 

 

With apologies to and a big tip o' the hat to Viv Stanshall (RIP) and the Bonzo Dog Doo-Daa Band.

[warsash saint]

LOL at the people who dont give a **** about this farm, yet open the thread & then post on it.

[dune]

Jackssons Farm was only an issue when we thought the scumbag Lowe and Judas Wilde might profit from it.

 

Now these obnoxious individuals are gone I have no interest in the land.

Apologies as I was clearly mis-informed about this (and cannot ever recall seeing any explanation on here - I don't read everything though ). In that case then, it has nothing to do with the football club now and should be consigned to history. Move on.

Didn't Neil Innes do something with the Pythons at the outset?

I think that explains the position quite clearly. The grazing ponies are quite safe!

Is Jacksons farm the plot that has the remains of a house at the entrance on Bubb Lane?

 

Used to walk dogs for Blue Cross through there and never knew of its ties to Saints if so....
