Club Brugge is disappointed: the stadium file has been delayed again

Bart Verhaeghe put Club Brugge up for sale earlier this year, but this does not mean that the stadium file disappeared in the refrigerator. On the contrary, he recently stated that a new building application will be submitted at the end of September. However, it seems that is not the case now.

During the recent municipal meeting, the Mayor of Bruges, Dirk de Fauw, announced that there is no progress to report on the file at the moment. Finally, the permit application submitted by the Blauw-Zwart company, which wants to build a new temple on the site of Jan Breydel, is taking longer than expected.

De Fau immediately came up with a startling explanation for another delay. “No file has been submitted yet, partly because one of the specialists who had to write a file fell ill and has not been able to complete it yet,” he was quoted as saying. The newspaper.

Parking issue

The issue of mobility was also discussed again. According to the mayor, more attention will be paid to the issue of parking in the new application. The club can now offer further contracts with companies whose parking will be provided during match times.

During the previous procedure, this was a stumbling block for opponents of the project, such as Grün, who remains rebellious. Although this apparently caused inconvenience to all other parties. From a political point of view, Verhaeghe and his colleagues can finally count on a fairly broad support base this time around.
