a reminder of what John Radford said at the fans forum in 2014

https://www.stagsnet.net/news/newsdetai ... ewsid=7586

John Radford: I don’t think there’s any reason that the ground should ever be re-united with the club. There should be a peppercorn rental set for the club, but I don’t think the football club should have that asset. Football clubs get sued all the time. If that football club gets sued for a million pounds, we can’t have that football club have an asset that could go to someone suing them. So it’s basically for legal reasons. Ideally yes I’d like to say yes let’s join them back up but let’s say 10 years down the line I’m not here and MTFC gets sued or something like that then the ground can be attainable or can be taken as part of the assets of the football club. I’d rather keep it separate, keep it in a trust. If I’m looking at this as far as a business in concerned, to protect the football club, it’s better that the ground is safe in a trust.

Question (Darren): When you did reach a settlement with Mr Haslam you did have to sign this over-arch agreement where part of the deal was that you are not allowed to transfer the ground even to a supporters trust, unless Mr Haslam agrees to it. I think the agreement is that if you develop the ground in the next 20 years, 50% of the profits have to be paid to Keith Haslam.

John Radford: Yes that’s exactly correct. The reason I managed to get a reasonable price off Haslam was I was prepared to sign that this stays with MTFC at least for the next 20 years. He thought I was coming in as a property developer, but that’s not the case.



Makes you smile "He thought I was coming in as a property developer, but that’s not the case" So what do you call someone who develops an hotel on part of the site.

Hope none of the profit from building the hotel goes to Haslam.

Whilst ever JR owns/controls the property company no problem with it owning the ground. Nice to see a long term ground lease put in place at a true peppercorn rent to protect the football club for say the next 50 years.

Where's the hotel, gone quiet with the others being built, me personally do t think it will happen now.
Don't you think they meant building houses after running the club into the ground?

From what I've heard, the hotel is nowhere near a solid idea. Some people high up don't even want it.

I thought they had planning consent. Looking at the Council website there are detailed plans etc.

Fill the pate bar then

For the information it was me who come up with the idea of a party and making it into a charity night to. Couldn’t see many other people volunteering to do anything. Also a few made me change the date so they could come to the event. Sadly these people couldn’t be arsedvto show up anyway. Raised a fair chunk of money last night for the John Eastwood Hospice as well as having a party to celebrate getting rid of Haslam.

All in all a great night. For future reference though if you want something in life do it yourself. Don’t moan at people who try and do something whilst your sat on your bums on a Saturday night watching tv

Don't moan at people for not turning up sean. I can totally see the point of why people didn't. A stags related party not being held at stags where the club could really do with the profit. The money for the hospice could have been collected there could it not?

well done for earning some money for the hospice, it's a great cause and something very personal to me, however, some people are against cash in bucket charity gigs these days, which is probably why many didn't show.

In theory this is something that Paul could of done at the club. It may of been ticket only though and that’s why I chosed a venue like the ling. the ling sell lotto tickets too and they sold more last night to people who don’t go in. I’m pretty sure tonif it was a ticket job at Stags you’d be the 1st to moan about it.

Anyway decent night and everyone had a good time

Well done Sean.

The club have done ticket events in the past ( end of season do's) that have been prohibitively expensive. Also the club have had 7 years to put something together, and didn't bother so fair play the Sean for arranging this event.
Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

It was a great night,
Thanks to Ronnie.
Just to put this issue to bed, the Ling has a big Stags following who go in. Ive been told that I sell the most Stags prize draw tickets out side of the club. we take buses to away games etc. We are not trying to take money away from the club, but do think the Landlord who supports us, should get something in return.
You could have a argument that the Nell Gwynne, Corner house, Bowl in hand, New inn, Swann etc also take money away from the club,

Ronnie. You were there when the fight against Haslam started. And you organised a do to celebrate the final payment by the Radfords to see the end of him. Be proud of what you've done and the money you've raised for so many good causes. Top man.

Really good event to have hosted. Well organised and food put on to boot

---

Well done, Sean, on leading on this. Extremely admirable to do this from planning to delivery.

Sean is one of those you can truly call "Mr Mansfield Town" and having read an article a while back helping out fans of other clubs fundraise this man is someone we should look up to more widely but not take advantage of. We should help him not just by attending his events but help make them happen

So is the ground being put in a protected trust and rented to the club via a nominal fee ala Notts County?

Matchday Programme vs Crewe, 23 March 2019

John Radford:
"It's amazing to finally have the ground back in our own hands and, in me, it's owned by someone who is a Mansfield person and a fan of the club.
"It should never have got to the stage where the ground was separated from the club and its fans as it was, but now we can make it into somewhere to be proud of.
"We have ambitions to develop the Bishop Street Stand at the appropriate time and obviously there are hotel plans too, although we're waiting to see what happens with Brexit before we proceed with that.
"We can also improve the car parking and other things around the ground."

For the rest of the four page interview, see the matchday programme.
