As this saga rumbles endlessly on and the prospect of a new pavilion and other spectator/player facilities becomes ever more distant, it's worth recalling what we were told way back in the last decade about the business case for the project-which was that the club would have much better facilities for banqueting, conferences etc and therefore be able to maximise its non-cricketing income. Now that we seem destined to have much smaller facilities than the original plans, if indeed we have any at all, where does the business case now stand? Or will we find, unknown years hence, that we have lost assets (the sites of the flats) and virtually all our parking space, in return for very little if any tangible improvement? I asked a question on these lines at the meeting last January and didn't hear an answer.
