Yeah, sounds like it. I'm relieved that we (i.e. the club) don't seem to be the bad guys in this as it was starting to look. Indeed, it appears there aren't any bad guys at all, just council ineptitude over the management of the leases.
That’s my take but I think it would be really good for the club to make a statement on next steps and perhaps a consolidatory note about the council so we can move forward with no bad blood.
