THIS IS THE TYPE OF NOVEL THINKING I LIKE. SOMETHING SIMILAR TO A SUGGESTION I'VE PUT FORWARD A COUPLE OF TIMES ,YET DEALS WITH THE MELDING OF A FAN OWNED STADIA BY TAKING A SHARE IN CCFC IN EXCHANGE FOR USE . COMPLEX I'M SURE AND DEPENDANT ON EITHER SIDES WILLINGNESS TO "PARTY".


I have a simple proposal for an approach to solving the current mess. Why doesn't the council put the stadium up for public sale, on the condition that whatever team it is proposed will be playing there makes a meaningful percentage of it's shares available for public purchase by those living within, for example, a ten mile radius of the stadium itself? In my opinion, almost all of the bad decisions that have been made in the past have happened because there has been so little meaningful fan involvement in the club itself. It would be in the best interests of both the club and the fans to have this approach because the likelihood of the club being more successful would be increased.

Doeant really matter what we suggest.. Or what terms the council may attach to any potential deal, because i doubt sisu wouldnt accept them

They have made it clear they want full ownership .. Of everything.. End of!

Because the factions that have developed during the past few months wouldn't be able to make a single decision between themselves. "You went to Sixfilelds, so I don't agree with you", NOPM? Why did you go to Cup matches then?", "I blame SISU/ACL/anyone else, etc, so I won't talk to you", etc, etc

Would anybody really not talk to another city fan because of it? Pathetic if so

Joe Elliot is a fan and many bad decisions were made under his watch.

I don't think that this would necessarily be the case ,given the instant rapport that returned on here when CJ's tweet prior to Stadium design announcement was mistook for a RICOH return.

I must admit, I'd love Joy to be questioned about her Christian values & how they sit with her business practices.
Only because I cannot understand how the two work together.

Even the Pope is opposed to the way she operates,

In his first major work as Pope, “Evangelii Gaudium” (The Joy of the Gospel), the Holy Father described capitalism as a "tyranny".

The Pope wrote: "How can it be that it is not a news item when an elderly homeless person dies of exposure, but it is news when the stock market loses two points?"


"This is a case of exclusion. Can we continue to stand by when food is thrown away while people are starving? This is a case of inequality.

"As a consequence, masses of people find themselves excluded and marginalized: without work, without possibilities, without any means of escape."
The Pope also criticised trickle down economics, financial speculation and the idea that the market knows best.

Ironic that it is called "THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL"

You know my stance but I talk to others who have different views now so why shouldn't I talk to them about this I agree Nick

Christian Values are normaly cherry picked to fit in with what you are currently involved in. They can involve slavery, racism, persecution of jews, wars etc.... So it should no problem to justify moving a football club. By the way, what happened to this year's Christmas message? I haven't seen it. That should be a must as only Easter is more important in the Christian year. Even the real Queen gives us a message.

Clearly you've never read the Bible. You find the page that suits your justification and ignore the ones that don't.

The question Is ,as unlikely as It Is . Would CCFC be as saleable In this format, compared to a SISu Owned Stadium Somewhere else and Somewhere In the Future ,which Involves more of their money and more of their time?

No that is not a Christian they try to read all the Bible and try to keep to it's truths,

others may pretend to be Christians as it is seen as being a good person
Which totally misses the point of being a Christian

I'd have gone for a dodgy wiper blade analogy- as a faulty one means you often struggle to see the very obvious ... but I take you point LAST

That was my original post on GMK. I guess I am pretty frustrated that my entire life, whenever an opera house or something similar has been on the verge of being closed down all the talk about preserving our culture and heritage has been thrown about, but when it comes to the City, acts that lets face it, should not be allowed, are somehow suddenly permissible (apart from protesting by running no the pitch, which somehow has become a criminal offense). Another option would be for the council to bundle the stadium together with a created football club, sell off the shares to those who live in the City and then petition the league for the golden share on the grounds that it is then the club the is genuinely representative of the City itself. I think there are options available for the council, basically, other than just selling the ground to one party.

Think he had washed his hands of the club, reopened his car shop heard his advert on the radio,
They are not coming back to the Ricoh, the place will be mothballed by the look of things....
