  1. So let me see. How long did it take TTA due deligence with all the accountants they had at their disposal? and you think I could roll up to the club and mooch the books? Get real. It's an offer made knowing full well that if anyone did take it up, they'd most likely get lost within the first week of looking. Nor would all the figures be given, christ on a bike I doubt the inland revenue get to see 'the whole truth and nothing but the truth'

     

    You seem to have taken the stance that we're all against the club. Why is that?

     

     

    I've not taken any stance that people are against the club, its just your so quick in making out SC is a lier and now your making out the club is lying to the inland revenue, sort your head out old man

  2. Once again, the figures quoted by TTA are not strictly accurate. You are quite right Lags, 30 acres would be needed to accomodate a new development that includes replacement of existing facilities (I.e the the current Lancaster set up).

    There are other sites that could have been considered. For example, OMBC have, for the last four years, been desperately looking for an opportunity to redevelop the land around exit 22 of the M60 (A62 where the Roxy used to stand).

    Several opportunities (Including IKEA etc) were missed after OMBC bought the cinema and several other businesses with the intention of building a commercial centre. That idea fell on its arris with the current financial situation, but the council still insist they are looking to compulsory purchase Windsor Mill (Behind the Waggon & Horses) and other buildings, subject to them finding suitable alternative buildings, and viable development of the land.

    The suitable alternative buildings have been found (And agreed by Windsor Mill owners), and a football ground across Victor St would seem a viable development considering the perfect motorway access etc, but OMBC still insist on their 'Commercial Gateway' white elephant.

     

    Also, have OMBC / OAFC enquired about the massive amount of land available at the old Higginshaw Gas Works site? There is 3 times the land available at Failsworth, and a simple access road onto Salmon Fields would give an easy route back to the motorway.

    Or what about the land originally earmarked for the new golf course behind the Moss Lane ind est? Loads of council owned land and no worries about City, Utd, FC Utd competing for local support. No, they'd obviously rather get the backs up of the current fanbase, and also annoy the residents of Failsworth whilst suggesting they will attend in their droves.

    If a move is necessary, so be it (I would be happy to see one as long as it was situated where there is a genuine possibility of its long term existence being secure), but let's have some real consultation instead of a pointless forum intended to pay lip service to the planning regulations' requirement to talk to all parties involved.

     

     

    Why don't you email this to the club?

  3. Everyone knew what was said would be reported back anyway. There was no need for most to travel and pay to just to listen to the residents and Dynamos complain.

     

     

    Residents wasnt really complaing just wanted to know what was going on because all they knew was what has been in the papers, the alloments folks was spot on, it was really the dynamos who complaing

  4. Because 1000's turned up at the council chambers and march when they believed they would make a difference to what was wanted. Subsequent plans now show what will be will be. NO MATTER WHAT. But as a Tic I will be there where the club puts me.

     

     

    And the march/protest did make a difference, but sadly due to the financial situation we are in its no longer viable to redevelop BP.

     

     

  5. Actually I DID but fulll credit to you I did not realise that the lady was Irish even though she was only a few seats away from me, She was sat on the front ror right in front of AH

     

    Also FULL CREdit to te club for giving a refund to ticket purchasers

     

     

    did you find that if it wasnt for the failsworth side turning up only around 50-75 Oldham fans would have been there
