Guardian Article On Torquay

Its just dawned on me that we used to have a minister in the cabinet who was responsible (there's a contradiction) for local government and was meant to see that it towed the line and the public was consulted where nec. That minister was once Eric Pickles. who was his replacement. He is meant to be the balance to councils overstepping the mark and there also should be an ombudsman to oversee local government too. can someone see if there is an email or other way of contacting them. if we can get them involved. and they see something amiss. they can bring in the decision and halt it while it is investigated, it can then possibly get national news coverage.

GI's new club badge for United
Only a stupid cahunt puts their head through a noose.

What happens when it snags? What happens when it's yanked?

When it happens, the fat laddie swings.

That's something that puzzles me. There were numerous letters, for and against (mostly against), published in the Herald Express about the proposed multi-storey hotel on the harbourside, but not one letter has appeared about G.I's wish to purchase the freehold of Plainmoor. I find that surprising, although I have to own up and say that I haven't stirred myself to write in. But I can't believe that nobody has written in to their Sports Post section, so are letters being rejected? Okay, okay - I know what your reply will be. Why don't you write in and see what happens ? ;-)

If this is the case then what are we fighting for? Once GI have the freehold its over.
Oh and don't worry about the club being forced to pay an uneconomical rent at a new stadium, because there isn't going to be a new stadium, that's just a hoodwink.

Merse this unbelievable...beyond my ability to even understand it not alone dig it up and present it. ....

Seems like it's a case of putting some money in...enough to keep going just about and then corner the club and or council into relinquishing land for resale with promises of new stadia in which they will benefit anyhow....

And if not bye bye club
Am I wrong?

Have read the piece on your site...im just not that savvey on business

New material sent to BTPIR this morning as the world catches on to Clarke Osborne and his pursual of the Plainmoor freehold. Read carefully and see if you can spot the similarities between his approach then and his course of action over Torquay United.

I'm sure there is a thread somewhere where it's listed, but does anyone have the contact details of someone at the club who is going to be instrumental in making the decision re: Sale of Plainmoor? I'd quite like to fire off my thoughts...

I think Sun Tzu would have approved of recruiting the media as allies; choosing and preparing for a battle out in the open.

Regarding the potential sale of the ground by the council, the thing I find most frustrating and angers me the most is - why aren't the public consulted? If anyone dares to suggest trying to change this town for the better - be that with a new hotel complex, or changes to the town centre, everyone gets their say, and normally a small number of protesters are able to stop pretty much anything proceeding. So why isn't it the same when the council are looking to sell a site of significant local interest? Why are a small number (potentially 3?) people making this decision on behalf of all of us? I don't know how these things work, but what is the distinction? Why is the addition of something to the bay, treated so differently to the removal of something?
