Then with a bit of luck they'll do what most politicians do and renege, leaving ron with nowt

And there’s the problem RM will know this is a possibility

Yes, Phil Bigwood.

Sadly, it's been a while since my wife has been able to do that.

Bigwood and Cox involved. You couldn't make it up. It's a shame Dick Bate isn't here anymore.

 

[bigmolt]

Who is Tony Cox ?

I know some have posted how only houses at FF is a huge great problem (and they are not unknowledgeable in this area), yet even now SCC and Gov, primarily through Anna Firth, remain closely involved in negotiations (incl. the leader of SCC on Sunday).

Maybe the lack of a stadium could be mitigated through extra social housing on the FF site. Also from a City centre point of view, a development at RH would be better.

 

[united we stand]

Councils involvement is very simple.
They give certain assurances that a new planning application for fossetts minus a stadium gets the nod IF you sign the bloody deal to sell rat boy

That’s the point- they can give all the assurances in the world- but they will not be legally enforceable.

What people say /do/promise is very different to what is actually legally enforceable .

Unless someone knows otherwise?

Think its about time we stopped all this. The length people go to.

Sshhh don't let on; the clown may figure it out... let's get our club back first

Pretty sure Medway Blue said he helped with some of the background. So he may know if anyone else helped.

It came about after multiple people tweeted GL asking him to mention us.

Phil obviously works with Gary so already had the connection, and he and I between us fed in some background.

 

[Medway Blue]

Sits in the south Upper

He does! With @CC51DAS. Just as my old man used to! I spoke to them both before Saturday's game and they mentioned the Lineker podcast then.

 

[tommy tucker]

If agreed. They still have to go through the heads of terms?

Its strongly beleved that its allready been done .

 

[Maldon Blues]

Has anyone ever failed a fit and proper owners test? seems like all you have to do is be able to write your name to pass

Or, as proven at Scunthorpe, just write down someone else's name...

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Anyone hearing things have escalated about blues

That the sale has gone through

So many rumours

Don't believe anything until it is 100% official. So many times we have heard rumours etc and nothing.

Fingers crossed it is all heading in the right direction!

 

[Shrimper]

For those ITK, can we expect to hear anything from an official source this week?

 

[mcrabb]

My cat caught and killed a rat last night and left it on our rug as a gift. I'm taking this as a good sign that something will happen soon.

I doubt they will be able to say anything even if they wanted to. Plus is it ever truly done until all the contracts are signed. Can’t trust the rat.

 

[defender05]

Would be nice if it's true but I can't see a deal sorted until the council has signed off the new FF plans for additional housing.
