downender2 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 tbh....unless you can muster up @ 15k + signatures...IMHO..this is a futile if not retrograde couse of action... the council do not see us having a new stadium as 1 of their priorities right now as they are having to make huge cuts in budget and make important decisions on front line and statutory services... us having a ground to play in in Oldham is irrelevant to them, no matter how they try and bleat so apologetically about the failsworth fiasco as I said...just my opinion we are heading to Tameside..if i was a betting man..blah blah blah...

I think 15k is a tall order, but I would be happy with 5k. I can understand you think it futile, but retrograde, how do you justify that. I am not aware we are asking £20m fund, just find and approve the land Sitting doing nothing but bleating about it though, what does that change?

The other aspect is it gets people to know that there are plenty of others that think their way, a movement. If one person sits up and takes notice then it will have been worth it Interstingly in my local council, they use the same epetition I am also going to set up. The thresholds are this: Summary of Thresholds under the Petition Scheme Number of Signatures Type of Petition Fewer than 50 Petition will not be dealt with under the Scheme 50 or more but fewer than 500 Ordinary Petition 500 or more but fewer than 1000 Petition to Hold Senior Officer to Account 1,000 or more Petition Requiring Council Debate Soi f we can get 1,000 sigs we have a case for a Council Debate and also the opportunity to press for Vote of No Confidence should Councillors begin to uderstand if there is a groundswell.

I am not aware we are asking £20m fund, just find and approve the land Sitting doing nothing but bleating about it though, what does that change? retrograde to the extent that if you can only obtain say 1k signatures...the authority (council0 will just take this as an indication that only a certain percentage of latics support can be bothered to sign the petition and the remainding % are that bothered about a new stadium in the borough.. I'm not knocking anybody for doing anything...I'm just trying to remain pragmatic as well as playing devils advocate. I'm not sure on this but the failsworth development project came with a fair bit of backing from central/regional govt, which i'm not sure would be available IF ( huge IF) the council did come up with a suitable alternative site....(pigs flying..comes to mind) I'm generally a fairly sceptical chap, so excuse the neg vibes in all this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
