Soley at fault NO. Many mistakes have been made in ALL projects. If you hire a wedding planner and your reception is a shambles, no flowers arrive and the honeymoon is double booked. Do you recommend the same Planner to your friends? The club appointed I.Hill to the board to advise on all matters concerning the sale of BP from the council to the TTA, re-development along with the Fenny Fields and Failsworth projects. If the board then went ahead with all these projects without the advise of the person they gave this remit to then I stand corrected. All projects barr the buying of BP have been hit with problems that with full and proper research could been avoided. No I dont have Board minutes but I would envisage they show advise from all board members upon their given roles.

I think it is only right that ALL serving directors are held accountable and questions asked of why they are serving on the board to DIRECT the future of OUR club. Only to often fans ask questions of Bary Owen and Alan Hardy on here, Corney also comes in for some flack. Hardy answers in his own ways, Owen posts on here to defend his postion, Corney I would persume sits back and watches here from afar. Maybe the Estate Agent should find a way to communicate with the fans and explain why he as messed up the last 2 projects he\'s undertaken as part of his remit has Club Director? How many times can the club pay fees to facilitate a re-development only to find out it isnt happening because the research behind the proposal was incomplete or wrong.

Well if the stories of the club selling the ground are true I have no fear ! Surely the club Estate Agent will have messed up again and cost us more money ! He will have probably advised the current covenant on the land is till 2012 not 2014 and the buyers will be returning the land on monday ! I have one question? Who decides if the ground should be sold - is it the current Board of Directors? As for wages - it will only be basic - No goal or win bounus is due !!

Oh right. Cool. And there's a room for them, like there was in the Broadway Stand?

It's cost us a lot of fans and where do Boundary Blues go now that stand isn't there?

Clever planning? From our lot? Pulling down a stand was hardly clever planning.

Will the Estate Agent on the board be at this forum on Monday? It would be good to ask him why the Broadway Stand was demolished prematurely and also to explain in detail why each of the various projects has failed.

Grow up. Did you not see the smug look on his face as he said it?

I've been out for a few pints of real ale, so this may not be the most coherent post in the history of the interweb. However, I am genuinely shocked at how readily people have accepted the latest flim/flam from the football club. This post will mainly be filled with questions, becuase I have loads: Why this reluctance to have a meeting with the council? What will this stance achieve? Will the council really be stirred into action by this behaviour? What are these 'implications' of any such meeting? Do the club really have a legal case against the council? Really? The M.E.N. piece - Corney is quoted as saying: "...But if someone from the council was to come to us with a plan and say this will definitely happen I would listen..." Well, that's big of you. Simon. But let's break that down. "If the council was to come to us" - so it's sit back and wait, is it? "this will definitely happen" - how can that be guaranteed? In their time at the club alone, we have had: Town green status War memorial NIMBYS Charities Commission Contaminated land... and so on. How can the council possibly come to the table with a scheme that is 100% viable from the get go? Or is it more sinister? Does Corney know that he is asking for the impossible? Is the Estate Agent on the board egging him on, in the knowledge that there will soon be a load of houses at Boundary Park that need marketing? What is the going rate for selling a house nowadays? £1,800? Times by however many houses. Nice work for Ryder & Dutton, is that. Is Simon Blitz driving all of this from America? Is he secretly delighted that Failsworth has failed because it means he doesn't have to fund a development? He's no longer involved, so does he just want his money back? There are a hundred questions that need answering here. Where is the will to find the truth? Have we all given up? One final question, before I finish...How much do we all trust Simon Corney?

Perhaps the Estate Agent on the board can explain what these 'implications' are. I cannot begin to imagine what possible repercussions there could be from having a meeting but, as an expert in property related matters, he should know.

I would suggest that the gates would fall to 2,000 straight away and would only dwindle further if there was no plan to get back to our own stadium in Oldham.

Isn't that a dangerous game? Is there any justification for this talk of groundsharing, if the above is true? If there is no plan for a new ground, why would the club leave Boundary Park? Too many games being played and none of them football.
