For those who like to read things into things, it may interest you to know that the interview with the mayor was sought to talk about the Tall Ships coming to the Bay this year; the question about GI/TUFC was just tacked onto the end of that.

I tried without success to wake people up to the fact that there were other options this season immediately before GI stepped in and claimed their co-lateral without saying whether they were good ones or not. Nevertheless, the Herald Express were also made aware of them but true to form kept quiet and it's all under the say so of Pete Masters in my opinion who has never bought into the theory of supporters being the all important stakeholders with a right to know what the options are and what their board of directors are faced with.

Who knows whether they would be interested; the situation was badly handled by an under pressure chairman who had much personally to lose.

Something has obviously **** up GI plans, now I don't know what but given that silverbow may not now happen I wonder if that is the cause.
