Well you're wrong and I have it on very good authority - how the hell you come to the conclusion that its our fault its beyond me, fickle even for you. I suppose you could argue the Councils culpability depending on how pedantic you want to be but Walker was head of the Trust at the time!

You do realise what we have just done is what MC wanted to do at the time - loan the money and buy the ground as security but the Box apparently received some of his legendary advise that nobody can corroborate and decided against lending us the money due to advice received which is as much as I can say. Remember without a Council loan we couldn't afford to by it, certainly not at the time.

We agree on very little but if you believe nothing else I say believe this was a stitch up and certain people have made a bob or two more than they should - its wrong whichever way you view it.

Note: I have no idea what the cost of the demolition of the Superbowl was more than you suspect probably so I suppose that does count to the increase in value. either that was probably covered by the rent Mani collected off us - either was as ever the Trinity club has lost out.

You can't change yesterday, you can tweak today, tomorrow you can change. MC and others at the club are driving the changes under what we all know are extremely difficult circumstances, clearing the mess of previous regimes at the club and working with a council leader who's behaviour whether by design or sheer incompetence has not been helpful (understatement possibly). I'm more than happy for MC and the others to keep taking Trinity forward and giving Trinity name back respect and credibility.


As for the demolition it was not carried out by any experienced demolition contractor, enthusiastic 'oh I can do that no problem' workers were on the job.

I don’t know how to transfer images onto here, so I will type the relevant bits from documents in the public domain..

Anyone who understands these things better than me, should be able to check for themselves.

Thank you.

I don't either must admit I thought he's purchased it a bit earlier but thinking about it maybe not. 2.25 million is more than I thought he paid but still a healthy profit if you include nearly 2 years rent. Makes the Red Book valuation look odd.

Vasty,

I remember the last time we spoke (a few years ago) it was about this exact matter and I told you what Walker was up to back then regarding his dodgy advice.

This saga has a long way to run yet and we are now in debt with a crappy old ground. Will it ever get developed? don't bet on it.

Also I have heard that Walker is sniffing around once more so not very good signs in my opinion.

Walker shouldn't be anywhere near the ground issue after recent events.

Working for free and Fly Tipping the waste then?

I enquired about the cellar chillers to find the gas pipes had been cut which would of released into the atmosphere that is illegal

Vote conservative at local elections in may give labour a bloody nose.

I agree with that

A rock solid argument must have being put to MC for him not to buy it

Essentially Walker lied

Carter has pubilcally stated Walker told him not to buy the ground

I'm just so glad we own our ground again
And have plans to develope it
It feels like we have a future again

Well you don’t agree with it then? As the fault clearly does lay with Walker, poptart appears to suggest it doesn’t.

I'm saying there is more to it otherwise it as I find it hard to believe it's as simply as SRW just saying "trust me, don't bid"....... But if he did, the person who did just trust a blind promise made a big mistake and shares responsibility.

True but trusting the chairman of the Trust and a Knight of the Realm if you buy into that stuff is hardly a blind promise is it? In business as in life you have to trust people on occasions, if we didn’t nothing would ever happen and at this point Rodders still had some credibility So no they don’t share the responsibility, someone has clearly been dishonest, the fact someone else has believed them doesn’t excuse it.

Sure I saw Yosser Hughes there in his "high vis vest"
