Apparently, they do have a Plan B....which is to do it themselves...over time.

This should have been Plan A.

Fcuken dumbass board has it backwards again.

Yeah. But I can imagine them fricking that up BIG time. We'll end up with a piss-poor stadium and a piss-poor retail complex. No one will make any money. Everyone will be unhappy.

Much like the Bomber board today. They can't figure out what to do about that pervert in the Hall of Fame and they hired this most ignorant coach in the whole entire world.

Mark my words. They will frick this up. The taxpayer will end up paying much more in the long run.

Again, it gets down to this board. They have to be replaced with people with integrity and a few (at least) brain cells.

Why is nobody asking why the other proposal is not being re-considered? The one proposed by Leo of CanadInns ?
I liked his idea the best. why not revisit it?

the board appears to have signed some sort of Worship David Asper deal, whereby he gets to pull stuff out of his ass and they get to sniff it and say it smells like roses.

Seems like the most logical thing to do. If Asper can't meet his deadline, give Leo the chance to get his stuff in order. Whoever can get their plan actually really to start construction first wins.

We really need to have that board 'splain itself in this matter. Seems they are unaccountable to anyone. You know. Like politicians and Indian chiefs.

at least with politicians and chiefs were occasionally get to pretend we voted for them. How does "the community" own a team and no one get to vote?

I asked that question on the Bomber Forum. "How exactly does a "community" own a team? Who appoints the board to safeguard the team for the community?" No response.

But here is what one of those pompous a$$holes wrote when the board was discussed on another thread. The question was "Where can one find the Board of Directors listing?".


by bannonadmin
All someone has to do is pick up a media guide, and the Board is listed even with pictures!

If this thread is going to be about bashing the board, then it'll end quickly, let's not forget that it was this board that saved the Blue Bombers from near death a few years ago, remember that when your taking pot shots at a group of Volunteers who you know won't respond.

Remember that when you type tough and bash those that give up their time to help build a future for the Football Club

Remember that when you take low blows at a group of dedicated individuals that are involved of the business side of the organization not the Football Side.

Remember that we don't open others people's mail here, you have a question, it' 2009 use email, we'll ensure it gets to who it needs to get to. Don't make excuses or blame our Receptionsists again, as their easy targets.

bannonadmin is an employee of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Looks like the mods at that site have taken their people handling lessons from mike kelly.

Do note that there was not even a scintilla of negative commentary towards the board or the Bombers on that thread.

Does anyone know of any new revenue streams that are to result from a new stadium being built?

The reason I ask is because this entire thing seems to be predicated on needing these new streams for thew club to servive, according to the board.

http://www.bluebombers.com/uploads/assets/WPG/08_site_photos/2008%20annual%20report%5B1%5D.pdf

Looking forward, we are confident that we continue to have sufficient
financial resources to sustain operations in the short term, and we continue
to believe that over the longer term, we will continue to be challenged by
fluctuating revenues combined with rising operating expenses, an aging
stadium and limited new revenue opportunities. For these reasons, your
football club is continuing to support and pursue a strategic initiative that
will result in a new stadium, related new revenue streams, and, in turn, long
term financial viability and sustainability of professional CFL football in our

city and our province.

Yeah. They will build retail on the stadium grounds. That's my point. These asshats can't manage a football team but they want to develop and manage retail?

Why don't they sell the land to the highest bidder and take the money and build it themselves?

The land is owned by the city. I understand they might get $15 mill for it. Won't build much of a stadium for that kind of change.

They are also going to get increased revenue from having sports bar(s) built into the stadium that people will go to. Especially since it will be stumbling distance home for the UofM residents.

see...if they had planned this correctly...they should have had IKEA build a new Stadium with retail shopping, and then IKEA gets the old stadium grounds and the old arena grounds to build a new IKEA and some other retail stuff on.

The public gets to keep the Bombers, the board can hire a retail management group to manage the new building & retail space, let Asper build a new hotel on the new stadium grounds, and everybody wins. (except me, cause the IKEA will be 10 minutes closer to my house...which means my wife will be shopping there more often Wink)

I don't think IKEA could build on that location. Not enough parking... Smile

If they had both sites...there would be plenty....they might even splurge and build a bridge to the mall next to the parkade by the movie theater...then people could park in the parkade there and walk to either Smile.

The only issue I think anyone would have with Age's plan, would be Canadins @ polo....then again, with his new water park at that location, Leo might have the leg up.
