No it won't. But, the club will want to get as far as it can before facing the inevitable backlash. Drip feeding bits of information only fuels the fire of opposition. Only release information when there are solid facts to release.


But surely drip feeding info would also give fuel to those who are supportive of the proposal?

I'd love us to have a new stadium and a team worthy of gracing it. However, the current information vacuum only adds fuel to the cynical view that it won't happen. Tell us something GYFR, even if it's just that discussions are ongoing and there are some minor details to be finalised.

But surely, by definition , those that support the proposal don't need anymore convincing that the new stadium in that location is the right path to follow.

I think people just need to be patient. That fact there is no news is pretty obviously because there is no more news to give. I understand the need to give updates, but it is completely pointless them givong us updates of no news.

What about the doubters and the waiverers? The cynical. The non-believers. Or the people who couldn't I've a stuff about the football but care about their town? It'd be better to get as many people on board and supportive than have them disengaged and even mildly antagonistic.

If you're trying to convince councillors and investors there's really a demand then keeping quiet is really not helpful.

Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I'd like to think I'm being patient, I mean it was only announced in 1995.

It's sort of not the point that is being made. In spring there was the message from the club that they'd like to be in the new stadium within three years, yet here we are 20% through that timeframe without a murmur and a previous post on this thread now claiming from an ITK that 2025 is a more realistic date. Be nice to know if everything is on schedule at the very least. Something just doesn't feel right at the moment after all the fanfare at the beginning of the year..

I'd say that 3 year timeline is completely blown now, I reckon design and build is a minimum 2 and a half years for this and we haven't even got the land yet. There must be some problem not to have reached a legal agreement in 6 months given that both the club and the council agree on the reference site.

Newts, bats, nesting birds etc. these sorts of problems that could come up when the site surveys are completed, we haven't even got to that point yet.
