The decision was “mindful to refuse”. The Councils Solicitor said there was no legal grounds to refuse and the applicant would win on appeal but the Members thankfully would not change their decision.

If it goes to appeal it goes to the Planning Inspectorate, the very people who the applicant promised to build a stadium so it would be interesting.

The Council will try to get members to vote it through on the back of the costs if they were to lose on appeal but we made the point if it’s approved we may legally challenge the decision.

Didn’t buy the paper this week, can you do the honours!

Good interview with mc from John Davidson on episode 37 of “by the balls”. Mainly about his full tenure at the club but the last 5 mins or so is about belle vue. He sounds very positive and that within the next week, and he jokingly admits that he’s been saying this for a while, that there would be positive news about belle vue and that there are some legalities to tie up. He admits that maybe we concentrated on Newmarket too much and that belle vue is where we should be.

I do like Johns podcast

I'll be listening to it on the way to work Tomoz
I figured Michael would mention the ground saga lol

A very good interview worth a listen and sounds positive about the ground.

Just listened to the podcast. Excellent interview. Si glad MC decided to stay with us.
