Anyone who turns their own name into a logo deserves a slap.

Am I the only one annoyed at him referring to us as Hartlepool fc all the time?

Fortunately there is no history of this sort of thing going badly wrong.

The whole thing looks unbelievably amateurish.

Jesus wept.

Only seriously retarded folk will look at that and fact, wow, great news.

So Pools have been saddled with a loan, that would need to be paid by a new owner, presuambly. Or the trust for that matter. Thanks Gary.

I doubt many new potential owners would come in with that hanging over the club.

And what about the detail?

Someone is going to demolish the leisure centre and buildmore fucking houses?????????

Marvellous.

And how many years will that take to get approvals, planning permission, demolition and new builds????

And more retail premises? Like what? Another fucking greggs? ANother one stop?

And what do Pools doin the meantime with the only thing that matters or anyone cares about......The football?

The lunatics have definitely taken over the asylum.

Please dont tell me the trust chairman still supports this?

Oh, and one other question. I dont see how Poolsget to benefit here. This isnt Islington.Has ayone told Gary that?

What I also find very odd in all of this as well is the fact that no mention (correct me if I'm wrong) has been made of improving the actual ground and facilities. Surely the first way to improve a smaller clubs turnover without as big an outlay would be a new stand with better corporate and conference facilities that will not only generate more on a match day but throughout the week as well. We have scope to do that on three sides of the ground.

That seems far more achievable and sensible to me.

or invest in the team, and make people want to watch.

I see a sort of retail park is mentioned.

What the council will approve another one?

To add to the town centre, the marina, the bit where the oet shop is, the B&Q area. All with empty units.

Well lets have anoither one as well.

Fucking hell. Crazy times.

And in the meantime, no leisure centre.

It's utter nonsense. What I find even worse is that people take this seriously.

I assure you some will be positively excited.

You lot are just negative and have a vendetta against the club, all you want to do on this Bunker is stir up shit rumours and pull the club apart with no justification.

About time you took a leaf out of the real fans books who want the club to succeed and instead spend all your time vitriolically abusing the managers and players on a non stop basis instead.

Bloody Bunker bastards

Sorry.

Anyway anyone know where I can place a deposit for a 3 bed semi on Mill House Plaza? I'm mean obviously we have planning permission and a timeline for the houses to be ready, and do I make my check to Mr P Goldberg or M Haycox or JPNG. Please let me know gents

I like mint viendettas.

Does anyone know how much 'funding' we secured within 3 days by the way?

Because if you're talking the amounts that will be needed for a project like this then this is all very frightening indeed.

I too hate using banks by the way with all the checking if I can afford to pay the money back if the business plan is sustainable blah blah, borrrring. I lend my money generally off a bloke round the corner. His interests rates are high and some of his methods a little unconventional but broken bones heal in time and I always get the money fast because that is the most important thing in long term projects.

I have heard that we have a silent partner in the project, haven't been able to find anything out about him, he's called Mr W Mitty

And he does have a lovely big 4x4 with blacked out windows......

top businessmen always use them vehicles.

As I posted elsewhere, if I had a modest amount of money and was intent on developing the land, I would put a deposit on the land, agreeing a value with the council. Then after getting planning consent buy the land, then straight away flip it on to another developer that is already lined up. That way there is little outlay (a deposit and some professional fees) and he gets the uplift in the value of the land.
Risk is you don't get planning.
If Gary uses Pools' money then we get the benefit of the uplift.
I'm desperate to put a positive spin on this but I agree with comments above, it all looks as fishy as f-k!

It's George Reynolds without the cash to see it through.

Jesus that website.... This bloke has a serious ego and looks like a magician.



AKA If your a desperate business and need cash asap with a stupidly high interest then give me a call.



Ahh yes of course we'll deffo follow in their steps

Arsenal - owned by Stan Kroenke who is worth $8billion.
Reading - owned by John Madejski who is probably worth a few hundred million.

I bet neither of these two needed to secure funding from Wonga... Sorry Access Finance.



Oh so we haven't bought it or had it approved yet?

And I know some people will think this is a vendetta or unnecessary negativity but we have every right to scrutinise this.

Isent this last months old news!

When we gunna hear about this big ANNOUNCEMENT in January?


Surely it wasent that we signing a kid on loan to sit next to Brad Walker on the bench!

There's more chance of getting an invite to an orgy in Buckingham Palace forecourt during the changing of the guard than this thing taking off.

I dont believe anyone is stupid enough to think that.

Please tell me you haven't read something different on social meedya.

Welcome back Sussex.

I'm not a God botherer, but...... Pray for Pools.

Kind of last month's news except that Mr Haycox is now claiming it as his own.

I genuinely hope it does work but I just don't see it happening. Is there a demand for houses in Hartlepool?

People will be flocking to the town once the UKs biggest Film Studio opens.......

The council should get Hoycock to fund them to build the Poolywood complex. He could arrange the finance in days and might do a side deal on some nice Swiss chocolate to sell in the souvenir shop - heard he can get it dead cheap. Who gives a shit about the interest rates when nothing could possibly go wrong?

I hope they are including this as part of the masterplan.

For someone so loved as a player I think a museum, street and the naming of every baby born on his birthday "Ian Thomas-Moore" should be the VERY least.

Sadly not, plans were scuppered when Jackson's Landing was knocked down. Hoping to secure some finance soon to get it built, I mean I haven't purchased any land yet, got any blueprints or any planning permission but that shouldn't be an issue right?

Just had coxall and the chocolate man on the phone. They want to incorporate the Ian Moore hall of fame into the design.

May need to change my previous design after they knocked Jackson's landing down

I've just seen Jacksons Ladning is to become an interactive 3D museum.


The Ian Thomas-Moore experience: You too can pull out of challenges as if you were there, score the odd goal and new for 2017 run around in headless chicken mode!

Why not try our marriage simulator, here you can remove your own testicles and take on your wife's name. Just try to avoid the bookies on your stag night!

Book now, it's free if your dad recommends you and can compile sub-par scouting reports!

You have to hold your Dad's hand all the way round as well

That made me laugh a lot more than it should for some reason.

It's funny you should mention that but my invitation says plus one on it.

Strangely enough, I've been in Buckingham Palace forecourt during the changing of the guard and as the music played I wondered what would liven proceedings up, but it was the 80's

Fair bit of negativity on here for this project, in my own humble opinion surely this can only be beneficial to Hartlepool United and the long term future of the club?

Surely all revenue received from rents and leases in the redevelopement of the surrounding areas new commercial and domestic properties will keep the club going from year to year?

A question for all those who think its a non-goer. If you were chairman of or on the board of Hartlepool Utd, what would you do to safeguard the year-to-year/long term future of the club? Bearing in mind that the Trust, if needed to might just one day have to run the club. As i know theres a couple of people on here in the high ranks of the trust it would be great to hear some ideas disscussed as to how they would keep the club going if the trust ever had to run Hartlepool United. Hypothetical question really but you never know. Got to be prepared in case it ever happened.

£5m hole in the funding? what exactly is that then Phil?
if it fails? that could be said about every venture by every football club in Britain.
How do you know there arent plans for land, planning permission and long term plans?
How is it a fact that you say a hotel will stand empty all year? How do you know?
How is it a fact that houses will be stood empty? How many new-build houses in Hartlepool havent been sold or rented out?
Which players are in the shop window for sale? How many have been sold? Despite a decent left-back being brought in from Fulham.
Obviously the club do pay tax or it would be in administration or have been liquidated?
What shady stuff and by who?

Why knock it? if it improves the town and attracts visitors to the town then go for it.

Why are people from the town so against anything that seems to be for the good of the town?

How long have you lived in hartlepool now? surely you are proud of the place?

It all feels like a distraction to me. Like them wavey shiney lights at us to stop us asking questions that need asking.

I want to know why we all of a sudden owe the taxman a six figure sum, I want to know why the payers got payed late. The club generates enough money to be ran on a self sufficient basis if managed in a responsible manner. We have been running like that for 5 years or more since the money from Norway stopped. How can we not have enough money in the bank to pay the tax man on time a few months into the season? 3,000 season ticket holders, the money from the TV deal and football league plus sponsorship including ground naming rights generates enough. So before I feel all excited about pie in the sky projects I would like to know where the money has gone?

Chip, not come on here to wind anybody up. Chill out. All ive done is ask genuine questions? Am i right?

So i might be wrong about the re-developements being good for the club/town, the only reason ive asked is because im not in the loop as i said the other week, been off the boards and havent been to the match for a while so just wondered what was going on. just in my opinion they seemed a decent shout.

As for my mate Coxall? never met him or spoke to him, you probably know him way better than i ever will.

As for labour i think their plans for other parts of town are great so credit where its due.

Ill know next time not to bother coming on to ask genuine questions if thats what you think of me like. Wasnt on a wind up at all but there you go.

Does anyone believe any of these developments will come to fruition?
We get them on a weekly basis and the council have developed into a fine art. The last people to actually put their money where their mouth was, was the Teesside Deveopment Corporation and that was the 90's. Since then promises, promises and pretty pictures.
I'll give you one aspect of this proposed development that gets my alarm bells ringing...... Would YOU buy a house there ? Seriously ? If houses there were ever built I suspect they'd end up selling a handful and the rest be a buy to let bonanza.
