New Stadium Rumour

So our situation will resemble hull city then in that the owner doesn’t own the ground ... well that’s worked well

Somebody please tell them which way to point the floodlights

60 Pages about sodomist all thats really happened as yet. not bad going.

Imagine if there was actually something happening, 1000 pages.

If anything the whole situation just points to how inept both the local council and the clubs directors are.

Its embarrassing that we now seem to be reversing out of a situation...AGAIN... that the board have bloody mindedly backed despite it clearly being full of holes from the outset.

The man in the street has foreseen plenty of issues with this scheme from the outset , finance, unproven developer, scale, infrastructure, economic climate and yet 4yrs (?) on the penny has finally dropped and we appear to be starting afresh.

If i could be @rsed i would trawl through the archives to produce a proper timeline of quotes, promises and sound bites regards PP, the "sales video" of JF in the windy field, within 2 yrs , advanced discussions with the council, exciting , in the next two weeks ....and my personal favourite the 80% confidence (i think it was 80 ?) of JF in Extreme delivering.

I think the trust should table a vote of no confidence at the next opportunity.

I think 'Shut up' said 80 & JF 70 - doesn't matter does it really, they're the immovable object but the council are now dictating terms - which is quite amusing really.

Love the virtual view in the telegraph with the dock tower in the background. I think at long last we have real plans are in motion.

Although I can’t help thinking the graphic make up of the stadium which looks awesome will be nothing like, a bit like a macdonalds Big Mac.

My favourite picture from that day on the windy field is the one of Ollie Palmer wearing a hat, a coat, a pair of gloves, several jumpers and a look of “what the intercourse am I doing here on a Sunday morning?”.

The game changer has been the winning of the bid for the regeneration funding. Before that the council had no means of coming up with a project other than to offer the land. Definitely onwards and upwards now.

Genuine question as an exile, and given the number of times governments of every colour go back on promises, does anyone know if the council has seen any of this grant money yet, or if it is protected in anyway?

The only way I can see this going off the rails now is if the grant is retracted somehow.

So is the funding that is being talked about tied in with the David Ross consortium plans ?
