Obviously missed my humour.

Not being pendantic, just don't agree. And the council have confirmed they are reviewing the proposal

As they are obliged to when a proposal is submitted through the ACV process...which was the only process remaining open to the Trust to make a bid.

Quite legal to gazump and steal a residential property from under the nose of another. Comes down to the discretion of the council I would imagine.

Think you are being a bit pedantic here mate.  It's fairly simple, they can't sell it to anyone else unless the deal breaks down with CDNL or the judicial review is won by Cilldara at which point it's open season again for anyone to bid.

[subject to contract]

…..because it’s sold subject to contract and there is no legal avenue at this time to reopen bidding

So its not sold then

why not?

Because the dev land is now sold to CDNL subject to contract and the ACV running track land is also sold to CDNL subject to contract but also subject to completion of the ACV process and assessment of any bids arising from that process.

Think about it logically.  The council can't follow a governed legal process then randomly decide to accept or even entertain another bid.  The issue as I said previously is that the ACV process does enable a bid from a community group on the running track land.  How that bid could extend beyond that onto the whole dev site is purely speculation but the Trust aren't bidding £3m for solely the running track land are they.      

Well when I got a kicking there in 85, and from all the graffiti around Swindon's County Ground - 'NTFC die' and 'How's your White Elephant?' being two Banksy's I remember...I got the distinct feeling they didn't like us, if that helps with any insights! 

I got a similar feeling, a few years back when after jumping off the coach, I went straight into that dodgy boozer in the car park. followed by old squeaky boots and umbrella himself. Definitely hostile, but I wasnt leaving, and Geema wouldnt leave on his own! Inside the ground he spent the whole game telling everyone how "we stood our ground". I do miss him sometimes. Also I am sure that Lee Geary came flying past us being chased on the way in. Also, the away end view is sh!te, and Farringdon has some sh!te pubs. Strange day out.
