If Fenty want to win the fans back.......

One more thing to add to my conspiracy theory ADF anyone seen him spouting lately and who was it who brought up Freemo second time around? Not one usually associated with keeping quiet I expect he will be on the front of the telewag soon enough giving it the v for victory and telling us all the Club should have listened to him years ago.

I think the clue about the quality of the feasability studies is in the great expense it cost the club. Other people with far more knowledge than I have, have questioned the criteria of these studies.

We've tried to put 2 grounds where they were always going to receive huge opposition, that's not the councils fault. It needs to be built as part of regenerating the town. Others have said the enabling development does not have to be attached to the ground.
Councils are shite, but I think there is a bigger problem here.

I distinctly remember hearing or reading at the time of Great Coates that it was the BEST available site at that time.I mean come on it annoyed me to the degree if a sites deemed the best available it should breeze through any planning application through the council cos they are the girl privates who rubber stamped the site in the first place.For this to happen twice GTFC should be taking legal action. I live right on PP and would put up with any thing just to see the ground built.In my opinion is it the best available site NO. However two costly feasibility studies later it was deemed by parties including the Council that this was indeed the best place.The Football Club Fenty and all are many things but they are not to blame for this shambles.30 flipping YEARS

It might well be the best site but it is down to the club to get the financial package together and they have, perhaps understandably failed to deliver this

In the present climate housing aside not a lot you can do to bring in finances I mean retail is now going more and more online.There are huge chunks of money available in grants for regeneration PP probably would not have qualified for any of this but Freemo/Docks will. I know one thing any new plans that get submitted should include a Traveller camp save a fortune on any roadwork and planning permission would sail through.

If Fenty want to win the fans back.......

He should leave the club and take his loans with him.....

As a big thank you to the fans for sticking with the club under Slade's poor management ,

For the next home game against Exeter the following prices will be,

1,  £10 ADULT ADMISSION

2.   £5 OAP

3.  £1  KIDS

4. One free drink to all fans.

5. Voucher for  £5 to be spent in club shop.

That's the least you deserve for having to watch such crap this season.











My thoughts might not be the same as the boards, unless you hear different.

Quoted from 1mickylyons

I`m loathe to defend him but what can he do in terms of taking it forward without a new ground? Nobody will invest in BP BUT they might invest in GTFC if they have said stadium I can`t see what he can do barring bits and pieces to pacify the likes of you and I who are caning him for his past errors?

Spot on. The mans not made of money and it is obvious that he can't keep putting money in.The club owes him £2million plus so if there is any chance of him getting it back he is not going anywhere-would you? If the new ground falls through 100% and there is no other way that he will get his money back then I think for his love of the club he will write his loans off and walk as long as a suitable replacement comes along. While the new ground is still in the pipeline he is going nowhere.

Joint council venture with the club to redevelop area round Freeman Street ,use Carrow Road as example.

Agree to an extent as in it's a good set-up. The difference being the relative attraction & wealth in the Norwich area.

Has JF , the Council , or the developers actually said PP is dead ?  Only people on here , because it’s gone very quiet . There may be a reason for this probably it may be announced that it is going ahead leaving it too late for the local nimbys to stop it. Hopefully this is the case for we can’t go back to square one again.
