singe Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Here are the links to the minutes, and how much of it was granted to the Community Trust (great work they do) but it does rely on the OAFC name and should have been constructed under licence and copyright. 01/08/11 Approved grant £700k.https://committees.oldham.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=144&MId=2469&Ver=4 "Pay a capital grant of £700,000 as a contribution to the redevelopment of Boundary Park based on the community work which the club carry out in the Borough" "In the Borough" not "at Boundary Park". http://committees.oldham.gov.uk/documents/s7266/acquisition of lancaster club FINAL HM 27.7.11.pdf Whole sections on OACT: http://committees.oldham.gov.uk/documents/s7266/acquisition of lancaster club FINAL HM 27.7.11.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowenicki Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 At last, it gets interesting. I wonder if the Blitz thing will get pulled now. He will be struggling to say much at all if there is a police investigation ongoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is an official complaint likely to lead to an investigation.... or will GMP just refer it to OMBC / conclude it's a civil not criminal matter....?

At least with this off its chest the club can now get on with paying the 500 quid it reputedly owes the St John's Ambulance, for an outfit that struggles to run a bath accompanied by the gimp who many feel was complicit throughout the Cormey years they really do seem to be clutching at straws. I have one question, does AL really think he has any more right to a stand than Blitz does, my take on it is that the stand was going to be built with good intentions but financing it became a struggle, Blitz stepped in and funded the build as well as shoring up the clubs finances and took the stand as security or am I missing something? I'm presuming during the due diligence that ownership of the ground and stands was established? Maybe Simon Blitz can be asked the question to provide clarity, he may well be able to confirm Barry Owen's involvement in this mess, after all he is the only real constant throughout all this on a day to day level, I know the bloke (Owen) is playing dumb arse but it shouldn't be too difficult to get to the bottom of it.
