Stuff

A strange story in the Spec about Ivor Wynne city employees getting fired for amongst other things, selling their own beer on game days (where did you have to go for that in that stadium) and razors. Did that eat into Ticat beer sales?

Drew Edwards also has basically a hagiography of Scott Mitchell in the Spec. Obviously someone has to look out for the team's interests, but I personally am not a big fan.

Aldershot Already Stillborn?

Somewhat shockingly, the Aldershot stadium deal is already on thin ice. Crotchety Burlington taxpayers not on board? Who could have predicted that? I suppose my question after this fails, does Ticat president Scott Mitchell resign?

West Harbour Lives!

Well maybe anyways. According to this Spec article, the owner (Marino Rakovac) of a property in the vicinity of the proposed stadium has a grand plan for condos and stuff at the West Harbour site. I believe there may have been a Paul Wilson column on this individual a while ago, but I'm too lazy to look for it. Cheers to Ward 2 councilor Bob Bratina for asking for consideration.

I do love the quote from Scott Mitchell though:

"This is the first we've heard about it, and any business that has any credibility whatsoever would have contacted us previous to this."

Mitchell said the new plans don't change the football club's stance on the west harbour.

"I think it begs the question, after these shenanigans continue to go on, of 'Who is benefiting from these developments in the west harbour?,'" he said.

That's pretty rich coming from him. Who's benefiting from the developments on the East Mountain? Osmington perhaps?
