Think the Cairn are in the initial stages of investigating what they need to do.

Some of us remember the "Askit" painkiller factory being on Aitkenhead Rd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superpollok Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Arthurlie potentially moving from Dunterlie which I assume would help them on their way to getting a license as loads of work would need done at existing park I would think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a shame to lose Dunterlie but when I was there this season it was not in good shape, half the terracing cordoned off and just generally a bit of a mess. I imagine that repairing most of this would be close to financially impossible for even the bigger money clubs in the west so I understand why they would move on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of other things we are not far away imo but as you point out it all comes down to money. Will be an interesting meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there no way that Arthurlie can buy the ground either Dunterlie or the new proposed land? I just don't like or trust councils, everything could be up in the air at any time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lokloyal Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Interesting proposal-the club are giving up ownership of their ground to become tenants of the Council under a 75 year lease at the new location.Presumably the club are paying for the development of the new stadium from the proceeds of sale of Dunterlie in some way-can’t imagine that the Council are providing all of this free of charge and Arthurlie sell up Dunterlie then keep all of the sale proceeds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it's getting fixed as I fell on my arse there the season before it was closed off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members were told at the AGM that the club felt it was better to hold an EGM where this is the only item for discussion as it would, rightful, generate a lot of discussion which might have been curtailed at the AGM. As someone who was involved in 3 previous discussions looking at moving ground, I am sceptical when it comes to East Renfrewshire and their motives but will see what is being said this time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Arthurlie have a Council which is supportive.Lok just seem to be battling with the local authority at every turn with no support on anything 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this has not been done already, the first thing that the club MUST do is to get an independent valuation of Dunterlie carried out by a Chartered Surveyor who specialises in assessing the development potential and values of sites in Glasgow. Only then can the Council's proposal be judged on its' merits. In any case there is no need to lose the freehold of the new location as part of any deal. That's the Council trying it on as it makes little difference to the current value of that site and does not need to be part of any deal. The club needs to be able to compare the value of Dunterlie with the value of the new site with all works completed (if the Council are doing the works as as part of any deal. Who is to carry out the works and bear the costs of planning, design, supervision, etc etc? In any case no relocation until the new site is finished and complies with all requirements and is signed off as completed.

Yes the existing site value and the new deal must be closely linked on various levels so the fans must be able to see the full breakdown of all of that before making a decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, that makes perfect sense. Speaking personally I don't like the proposed new location, however not sure what alternatives there are in Barrhead. I presume they have considered the fact the Levern Water sits behind the said location. Separately I'm with you regarding the council, who IMO have not done much for the club in the last 40 years.
