Do you think I came up the Nene in a bucket ? I wouldn’t spend too much time thinking about it anyway .

The frustration is 'no progress' is the norm!

The carbuncle of an East Stand is gathering dust.

Decade after decade no local benefactor comes forward.

KC relentlessly says 'he is making progress' with NBC- show me a tangible sign!

In the 4th year of an investigation the Police (or CPS) will not make a decision!

The Council will not tell its electorate what its plans are with KC for the land.

SOMEBODY DO OR SAY SOMETHING PROGRESSIVE!

Couldn’t agree more on this .
It is no ones fault that there is no buyer ( I wouldn’t buy it ) but the Board’s complete radio silence and continual fobbing off of the supporters regarding the East Stand is an absolute disgrace .
If the chairman and his mates are no longer around that often , the CEO needs to put his head above the parapet  occasionally .

The football club is a community asset and not like any normal business.
The 4 known reasons to buy into a football club are.
1.. Being a distressed club, under developed due to previously being mismanaged, it costs a pound.

2.. Buy a cheap distressed club, strip assets and hope to sell for vast profit.

3..A rich mans plaything, he has so much money be can throw vast sums at it, he can afford to.

4.. A community owned and fully backed club that puts all funds raised  back into the club, seeking to grow its product in a steady sustainable manner.

The Trust seem to have knocked the idea of fan ownership on the head for a while.

Message from the Chairman

"The Trust board feels that in the present climate- with the Football Club reluctant to engage, with £5 million of debt loaded against it, and with the East Stand not rebuilt - it isn't the right time to actively pursue community ownership"

Reluctant to engage with an organisation which has trash talked the current ownership, made numerous factually incorrect public utterances, and failed to produce anything resembling a credible plan for funding the club.

I wonder why?

It was always a non starter with the costs required to put right the mess on the East side of the stadium

He doesn’t need to come up with a viable solution because he isn’t saying he can own and run the club himself.

He needs to come up with a plan pronto actually. It needs to be visionary, fashioned with financial acumen and centred on established Championship level football within 5 years. It should also establish a permanent Gallones outlet within the structure of the main stadium. The youth set-up should also be renamed 'Centre of Excellence' and should be sponsored by a major international airline.

Not sure but i reckon the land behind the East Stand could be developed to generate the money to clear the club debts and finish the East Stand.

Fairly standard comments from Clarkie; he is very keen on ice skating - bit of a poser!
