Failsworth Land... result in


Recommended Posts

Charity Commision cannot make their minds up! Evidence both for and against is inconclusive... so OMBC to review the position and a report from their officers has been requested by 3/3/. Corney not surpised!

 

Back to square 1????

Or on a positive side the opponents have failed to prove that the land can't be used.

 

Isn't this similar to what happened with Clayton playing fields, then the Action Group campaigned long enough, achieved Town Green Status and we were down the :censored:ter! Could this happen again?

I think it's different because it the Charity Commission can't find any evidence one way or another while it was always known that the Clayton family had given the land to the people of Oldham.

 

If it drags on any longer than March it will become an election issue which will see us shafted imo.

Shortly after Pine Villa became Oldham Athletic, the rarely wrong Chron commented:

"It is really surprising that a first-rate Association Football Club cannot be run in Oldham for there is plenty of room for one without crippling the leading rugby club and, in addition, there is a demand for good soccer."

 

Halfway through Latics first season there was a problem with the ground landlords (J.W. Lees) over rent and terms of the lease. No compromise could be reached and the only answer was for Latics to find another ground (back to Hudson Fold) to play on.

 

I keep getting that feeling of déjà vu. :blink:

Is history about to repeat itself? :unsure:

Anyone who sees the Charity Commission's inability to reach a definitive view on the status of the land as a good thing is, bluntly, wrong.

 

Yes, the campaigners have failed in their initial bid to obtain a ruling 'against', but the failure of the Commission to reach a ruling 'for' simply leads us down the path of protracted legal proceedings that could delay any development for years.

 

You only need to read between the lines of Cllr Uddin and Simon Corney's statements to realise a very large quantity of effluent has just collided with a hopelessly inadequate whirry object.
