Just spoke to Mark Prestwich of Oldham council,
He said that the coucil are 100% still behind the staduim move and are hopeful this can be sorted out soon, there are a number of options which have already been mentioned ie appeal, or to just tweak the original submittial.
They are speaking to latics (simon and Alan) nearly every hour to try to resolve the issues, and as this has dragged on for some time and this matter is a priority.
A number of other options were looked at for the stadium location but there were obsticles with all of them. Failsworth was seen to be the best option.
If any one has any questions I got his email address mark.prestwich@oldham.gov.uk
