People need to just lie down close their eyes and hope nothing will happen.

I think this is the CCC boundary:
From that the north west looks your best bet if you want it inside the boundary. Not sure how it lines up with the local plan and green belt.
Is it me or does it look like ?

Doesn't answer what I asked does it?
Aside from the backpats and cuddles from Blackpool fans, the hand shaking and massive love ins. What's it going to do?
Yeah "exposure for our plight".

Moz on bbc Midlands news. Talks well and says we have ideas and will put this into a plan to help the club go survive.
Well I was there. I’ve read all through this thread and honestly there’s more tripe on here than I heard at the Albany. Basically exploring what if anything could we, the fans do to help end this impasse between Sisu and Wasps. Never seen this David Johnson before he spoke okay didn’t expect any difference. The Phoenix club idea wasn’t seen as anything other than a worst case scenario but it was correctly pointed out as we stand now that might well become a possibility and one chap pointed out in previous cases Newport County as an example where their fans bought the rights to the history and eventually added County to the title, so all in all are seen as the original club was only answering a what if question if sisu liquidated is which apparently they can do, there’s two issues critical dates on the horizon apparently one being the filing of our accounts on time I didn’t catch the second.
The one main thing though which was left open to chew the fat on was “what can we do”

Why would they not submit the accounts? They haven’t failed before have they?

Newport county were always Newport county weren't they?
It's interesting the focus suddenly been on filling accounts, almost as if it's a way of applying pressure
strange really, there was outrage at the thought of ACL being distressed. If it's ccfc by other parties its fine. What next? Hoffman's family member signing for wasps again?

I missed good and bad stuff. Dave Eyles can type better than me and wasn't responding to people online so was less distracted. His notes will be more comprehensive

You can't file without being a going concern can you? Without a ground how can anyone sign us off as a going concern so on that basis the accounts won't be filed which means transfer embargo. Don't think there's a points deduction or fine thought which was also mentioned at the meeting according to twitter.

I do like how there's worry about points deduction or fine for not filling accounts but pitch invasions and trouble at games which also have those risks are fair game.

We brokered one before to ensure we continued to play there.

What on here that people have posted genuinely do you think is tripe and what was said at the meeting that was actually useful in working towards breaking the impasse between Sisu and London Wasps? Both genuine questions.

Which deal and what part did the trust have to play?

Sadly it says a lot that someone like Rich has even suggested it as an option. He lives with for home and away games with his boy and talking to that little lad for 2 minutes makes you instantly love football.

It's certainly got people fired up for protests.
Here's what will happen.
People will kick off at games, cause trouble.
This will then give an excuse for stewarding to take the piss.
People will then kick off even more at the club about stewarding.
Wasps and the council piss themselves. ( See duggins public opinion firmly on their side comment after clearly bullshitting about the promises made).

There was no real interest or chat about filing accounts it was just mentioned after a question, answer not from the top table but from the floor. What chiefdave has put is what was said, and that was from the floor. I didn’t hear anyonemention pitch invasions or trouble at games, as I have said the main jist of the meeting was What can we do ?

At least twice in the past they haven’t filed accounts.

That would be ideal given the proximity to the major roads but the big issue is the land owner. I seem to remember the farmer wouldn't even sell a very small strip of his land for a massive sum (around the same as his entire plot is worth) to build a road linking UHCW with the Eastern Bypass which would've included building a bridge over it to keep his access.
Nothing said about that in fact one guy pointed out how futile that is and against the law inviting Police action as there are as we know laws around it at football games or even in the vicinity of a football match.
No such law exists to rugby matches though.

Disband, reform. See who actually wants to remain a member. Then support the team and work with not against all the other parties. They have zero influence so may as well row in behind until their voice carries any weight. At the moment they look and sound like a petulant child shouting in a sound proof box.

It was 6 or 7 pages full of text so it'll take a bit of time but once they're tidied up (grammar, spell checked etc) we'll put them out.

A former board member that many lambast on various platforms spent a couple a days of his time negotiating between club officials and the landlords to sort things out due to the two sides not being able to talk to each other. There was a game on the Saturday. It was sorted either late on Thursday or Friday (can't remember which). I'm not sure what would've happened if he hadn't done that but I very much doubt we would've all been at the Ricoh on that Saturday.

I was there tonight, didn’t hear or see any petulance. There were about 100 in attendance, all of them ordinary fans, most I suspect are season ticket holders. Everyone I think would love this club.
Your message to the Trust then is: disband. Don’t bother doing anything because no one listens to you. I don’t agree with this view. I also don’t see how any of that helps find a solution to the fact that in a few months we may be homeless and perhaps on the verge of extinction.
What do you think we as fans should do to try and resolve the situation?

Well put. Some may say what can we all actually do? What ever it is, it's more than the men in suits who are actually paid to do it are doing to sort this mess out.

Stop panicking about what we can't control and enjoy the football. Fill the Ricoh with passion and show the footballing world how big we are, how much it means.

So is this on the return from Northampton as I can't ever remember us being that close to leaving the Ricoh without actually having gone.

When the big lorry turned up and cleared out the shop. 2012-2013 season? Probably 8-10 games before the end of the season.
