Interesting post from Kent Online:
I have total trust in Brad and Shannon - the changes and improvements to the club as a whole are fantastic.
The shirt sponsorship by Bauville, a building company, looks remarkably similar to the deal with MHS Homes in 2004. At this time, Scally was boasting that a new stadium was being sought in Cuxton leaving us to believe that Preistfield would be redeveloped as housing. Due to Scally's lack of business acumen and sheer incompetence, the new stadium didn't materialise and the sponsorship with MHS Homes folded.
In 2017, Scally made another attempt to bring a new station to Gillingham, identifying Mill Hill as a possible site and used Medway Council sponsorship as a lever to gain permission for the development. Again, another failure of the chairman.
Given Brad's and Shannon's proven business capability, is this the start of planning for a new stadium with Bauville being given first option on the Priestfield?
I think we all know that to achieve higher status in the football pyramid, ultimately, we need a new ground and if this sponsorship deal is indicative of Brad and Shannon's long term strategy, good luck and bon voyage!
