I'm not having a go Phil. I've got great admiration for the work you and others have put in. I just cannot believe someone can wriggle out of a legally binding agreement presided over by our local council and a representative of the Secetary of State. If so it's a scandal on Pearman esque proportions.

The situation is far too difficult to explain on here without undermining the ongoing discussions. It is unbeleivable what has occurred and it does make life difficult but, as of yet, no-one has walked away from the table and therefore, all things are still possible, but we only stand a chance if we use everything we have to try and negotiate a result.

We believe that we have the moral high ground here and clearly there was an understanding by the inspector that we were getting a stadium in return for the PP. Why that hasn't happened is the big question and we can either take them on head-on, or we can become thorn in their side at every turn. We again will rule nothing in or out!

Why not take them on head on TRB AND be a big fat thorn in their side too?

I have E/Mailed Mary Creaghy MP for her view on the subject,no reply yet.

You'll get fobbed off to the council!

Morals mean nothing to YCP and their Directors, if they did we'd have a half built stadium and a handover date in the diary by now!

I've said before and I'll say it again, they've shown their hand and have zip, zero, nada, absolutely no intention of paying a penny towards sports facilities and or a stadium.

The only way to get anything out of this debacle is to bring in support from The Office of The SoS, WMDC, Local MPs and any other form of big guns that are possibly at our disposal. I said this months ago and was told that upsetting Colin Mackie could be counter productive, well how far has he budged under the weight of our moral argument. Businessmen like him have no morals or shame when £Millions are at stake.
