JamieY26NamelessJamieY26 I fail to see how Royal Elm Park would make the club less attractive to buy.... I would much rather buy a club that is at the heart of a busy commercial and residential centre than one on a naff skirt of town with a muddy car park.
I am also under the impression that the contracts that were written up for the development included a clause that ensures Reading Football Club have a stake in the development going forward, regardless of the thai's owning the club. I remember reading something about it when the plans were on display.
REP is being built by a company part owned by the Thais and part by RFC. SO THEORETICALLY RFC stands to benefit hugely.
But RFC is also owned by the Thais so they COULD pile all the costs into the RFC side and all the profits into the non RFC side.
I don't think this would happen, but as they own the club and the 18 companies associated with it they can do what they want.
Well lets hope the FA did their job when they conducted the fit and proper ownership interviews!
They're checks for criminal convictions and little else.
