Our bargaining chips are the council's conscience it seems. Should the council's next response be an equally gruff statement I fear for the future of our club.

Jamie - look up the definition of bargaining mate.......I wouldn't even credit them with that; it's gonna be a right flippin' kerfuffle!

No strong anti Failsworth view????? Get real Real.

the way i see it is that they expected to have started building failsworth or at least planning to start building before the start of next season so the extra running cost of BP for a season or two more was a resonable expense but to just keep throwing money at it without anything lined up or any imediate hope of finding somewere new is too much money

Yeah true; basically it also obliges the continued commitment from TTA (or now SC) to progress via short term measures.

By the way thread author - your title should be why do we have to move; not after. I know it's pedantic but it bugs me. It's lazy sloppy English; a bit like like Dale Stephens on a bad day! No more; no less - just an example of could do better!

I know feelings are running high, but I can't help but nod at each and every point on this post.

Yep agree with all that! It certainly can't be 100% all the councils fault, and if you get into bed with people on "promises made" well..............

Something you have all not picked up on...... the interview was with the MEN....so this Nimby thinks he is a mancunian. Probably has an United shirt

bootleg of course.

So using this logic all Failswoth residents are Mancs and therefore Reds.

Could we not sue them for misappropriation of public funds? ie this, and the Miller case?

But being as we supply them with their money we'd be sueing ourselves! There is of course a grown up civilised way of taking action in a democracy, it's called voting. How many people do that at election time?

A lot of predictable over reaction just as their was following Tuesday's win, when people were making Morais King of Oldham. I think he was MOM today and that their coach did his homework a bit on us. A few had average days, no more, no less and I hate to see words like garbage applied to hard working young lads. We are a developing team, have some patience FFS!

You're all missing the point - this one NIMBY (and his mates) took on the might of the council - AND WON!

never in doubt...

 

now can i suggest everyone feeling down depressed n fed up,shuffle on down to bp and sing there hearts out for the lads....show everyone we still care even if the council doesnt....vent ya spleen and come back hoarse....

Never in doubt? Is it not pissing down at BP? seriously it is up here!!

Refs already been on pitch - not a problem and to make sure my brother has taken some kind of specialist equipment to BP to help the ground staff.

 

Things some people do to watch Latics on a Saturday!

Thanks pal - there was me thinking this was an information thread about todays game & weather!

There are about another 45 threads to do your squabbling on chaps!

FFS - Back to the thread - It's still pissing down!!!

we are all frustrated at the last couple of days events but the 1 thing we MUST not do is let any negativity into bp. When the match is on we must put 100% into supporting the team and no anti-council chants while the players are out

Any other instructions on what I can and cannot do then, once I've paid my £20?

now now then

Good call mate!

???

Now is a time for unity, not falling out between ourselves.

I'll stand up and be counted if it makes you feel better.

NO. The way you have dressed it up is mischeivous!

That would be known as "going out in a blaze of glory".

 

Actually the thought just occurred to me. Losing against QPR eight or so years ago now was the most gutted I've ever felt as a fan. A defeat at Old Trafford next May would surely eclipse that by some distance.

Ooooh, dunno about that mate - I was really trully 100% gutted not so long ago when they ran out of pies well before half time, and indeed all hot food!!

There were people in the Chaddy

It's about time the 43 people in the Chaddy let it go, I'm all for tradition but........................

RRE no stanchions and a bar!

Yeah, surreal that isn't it? They're real ones too. Wimmin, giving birth to real babies on TV. Ooops, one just popped out then. Wow.

 

And I'll find any news instantly by checking Facebook at the same time too.

Yep - facebook is pretty quick

Adam staying at Blackpool by the looks of it - LFC will increase their Micah bid now, surely?

Nice one - and thats a great example of clutching at straws!! But here's hoping eh?

Exactly.

 

It's also worth noting that we are talking 20% of the Richards fee, which if he goes for £20 million means we get £4 million as a 1 off fee. However promotion this year will be worth between an extra £4 and £5 million next season with £4 million of that coming from increased TV income alone.

 

Promotion and Richards going is mind boggling for a club like us.

Calm down H! If ever I've seen a better example of two in the bush I can't remember it!

I asked Barry the question on his last thread - and he answered as best he could, if you can't be arsed looking maybe someone will link it.

They are more bothered about selling to a rival our 20% will mean jack in the grand scheme of things

Correct

Point is is he's 19, time to learn under PD & GT - no risk, probably hungry, in Dickov we trust!

Both valid points, it depends on how much it will cost for us to put a new stand up and how much it will make, including the reduction in policing costs as the away fans will be in a seperate stand to the home ones.

 

If we go up and manage to stay up for another season(s) then putting up a new Gene Kelly stand might pay for itself. Especially if we get a good cup game- more likely than this season because of our automatic 3rd round status.

 

Plus, if its up it might come in handy in at this level depending on who else is here.

 

I think the club will have looked at it previously, if they haven't then perhaps they should have done. Doing so will give them an idea of how much it will cost (including the extras required) and how much they might make out of it. I think you are right, if we have the ability to exceed our current capacity twice then perhaps it isn't worth it.

 

One option might be to make the Chaddy the away end, but surely the likes of Diego wouldn't put themselves before the club. As perhaps the problem isn't fitting in enough away fans (as I was thinking) its making sure all the home fans can fit in if we give the away team the whole of the RRE- the coppers may like that too since the Chaddy doesn't have a bar.

Yep agree, especially about away fans in the Chaddy - good points well put.

2 points;

1. Last time we were there we had come down from the Prem & gates were generally bigger

2. If we were over 10k twice, not worth investing in a new stand.

A return to the prem would create a debate maybe but not the 2nd tier
