This I know for a fact having worked extensively in the area for the last 15 years.
I surveyed residents over 20yrs ago. At that time, a few said the club was their landlord, and a few others suspected that the club was their landlord via an agent, which was confirmed to me a few yrs later. Even then most owners were not averse to listening to reasonable offers. Modern CPO laws are far more favourable to the developers than in yesteryear.... and at thectime of destination Kirkby the city planners didn't see any issues in expanding footprint.... especially as there are only 2 side streets abutting the Bullens.
