...FREEMO....as Tom Shutes....and misses...










'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

A very big step forward for us!

I hope the Telewag is not a miss print and they mean 35 years (rather than the 3-5 years printed).

Always suspected there was little substance to the Shute-led takeover.

Same here, it was clear to me at least that he didn't have a pot to urine in right from the start. As usual though there was a mass celebration / melt down over-reaction on here when his interest was first mentioned and anyone voicing an opinion against it was slaughtered.

So 3-5 years to deliver the new stadium, so we should expect to see artist impressions and miniature models etc this year at some point.

All being well we could be starting 23-24 or 24-25, 25-26 season in the Fentydome!

A Fishy balloon rarely needs to be pricked, just let it deflate of its own accord.

I hope it is a big step forward but unless and until we get news of finance, detailed drawings and foundations in the ground I will reserve judgement.

I am hoping an upturn in playing fortunes and the Ollie effect might get things moving but I hope Fenty has had some confirmation from national and local governments that funding will be available or despite good intentions it will be another false dawn.

Same question as always. Where is the money coming from?

A fair amount should come from regeneration funds and other grants. Community stadiums are able to draw from a number of pots.

It does seem that the "ducks are in a row" with this one. Politically for once. I doubt there'll ever be a better opportunity.
