Monk Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 Currently on my UEFA B down at the AMEX Stadium, ironically. Just sat with a lad from Saints foundation, he seems to think Saints put in a bid for Ched Evans today. Good friends with Aaron Martin from Eastleigh days. He also re mentioned the building work at Staplewood is being delayed due to our current run (so links back to a previous thread). Thought I'd pass the gossip on. Don't worry if I see Gus, I'll kick the cvnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ched_Evans "Evans scored his first Premier League goal for Manchester City against Portsmouth on 21 September, scoring the fifth goal as City went on to win 6–0" Scored his first premier league goal against Pompey.

trousers Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 Isn't he facing a rape trial in April? A slight distraction if so.... [h=3]Rape charge[/h] On 30 May 2011,Ched Evans and former Manchester City player Javan Vidal were arrested over an alleged sex attack in his hometown of Rhyl.[14] On 26 July 2011 Evans and another professional footballer, Clayton McDonald, were formally charged with rape.[15][16] They both denied the charge and will face trial[17] in April 2012. Evans and McDonald are banned from entering North Wales as part of their bail conditions, however Evans managed to get Caernarfon Crown Court to change the conditions of his bail so that he could visit his parents on Christmas Day under curfew from 9am GMT Christmas day till 10am GMT Boxing Day before returning to Sheffield for training.[12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 They're halting building work at Staplewood because we're not playing well? Good grief. What a lack of confidence. What message does that send out to the whole cclub. Idiotic if true. And/or worrying if our finances are that frail. If we spend a few million on this and transfers, we might get £60m by going up. *sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we spend a few million on this and transfers, we might get £60m by going up. *sighs* I'm not sure if this is a wind up post or not, but quite clearly they are suggesting the building work is being postponed due to where we are in the league, and the fact that they want the best possible environment to ensure we give it a good shot. Makes sense to me. Not sure why they didn't start it after we won promotion tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All building work is done in stages, and if there's no panic the companies involved can use personnel elsewhere...AND if they've be paid upto date - No problem either. Besides..I wouldn' t want to pay builders double time over Christmas and The New Year.. if there wasn't a good reason to finish quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 Back to the player of the thread: A trip before the beak pending for something as serious as rape! Barney still waiting for a trip before the beak for allegedly bottling someone. Do we have Solicitors lined up for the next shirt sponsor?! I would imagine the cloud hanging over Barney alone would see us giving Evans a miss until after April/May as Sheffield Utd will want to get top dollar for him. Should he be found guilty how many folks would be impressed at us shelling out what would be over the odds for someone who could be doing porridge for a while.

S-Clarke Posted 3 January, 2012 Share Posted 3 January, 2012 I always thought the plans for the training ground would never come to fruition. Getting plans is just something to help NC sell the club for the Liebherr family.......... There is intent to redevelop the training ground. The survey and the designs would have cost a decent wedge, the temporary buildings are also in place ready for when the old stuff is knocked down. That's not made up, you can see those in the videos every week. So the intention is there, it seems to just be a case of finding the right time so it doesn't affect the first team. Which is sensible, but then when will be the right time....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
