Torquay United Fans Forum

[b]Robin Causeley of [i]TUST[/i] [/b] gives a very erudite account of just where the club stand with GI, where to go to sign the petition; how people can sign it and concentrates (at last!) on the [b]FACT[/b] that the Mayor won't be able to slip-slide this through on the quiet without mass condemnation, outrage globally and throughout the football world.

This is exactly what we need now to concentrate minds on the matter in hand now that the publicity of the past couple of weeks has got the story out there into the open...well done [b]TUST[/b] and well done Robin!

[b]It's taken the proactivity of the forums and supporters to get this done in direct contrast to the miserable coalition between the local media and Gaming International. Shame on them and they should forever stand as the Quislings that they are![/b]

Cheers Pikey

Here it is. Not a lot that we didn't know but it's getting the story out there isn't it, which is what we want.

Bloody Hell, what was the article like??

It was on yesterday on the Hawksbee and Jacobs show,just after the 2-30pm news.

I'll be listening from 10 til 1pm today.

I will do my best to tune in to talk sport. if they have a phone in I will be ringing up They need to hear it from people who have been involved with this shower. any talk is useful if it adds to the publicity. and thats what GI will be afraid off. Negative Publicity

Excellent. The more coverage the better. The mayor and council must understand that they hold the future of Torquay United in their hands, that many people are watching and they will be held to account for their decision.
It is very important that the general election candidates understand the strength of feeling for our football club.

It's Been pushed back to July. See number 7 on the list.

Well done on the talk sport coverage. We need the whole world to put pressure on the mayor/council so they know football fans can't just be pushed aside!!

He still has to make the decision himself, Eddie, despite what your dad might tell you. Under the constitution, it's a mayoral decision. He can, of course, refer it to council for debate and advice, and in the past he might well have done that, but essentially, that's what the PDDGs have been invented for: so that debates can be held in public, with everyone (not just councillors) able to contribute.

Whatever decision he makes, whether referred to council for advice or not, I expect the Tory Group to call it in (fair to say, I think, that the Libdems won't, if the decision is not to sell).

It's certainly not on the agenda for the 26th nor have there been any proposals. What I would say is that it is unlikely that the mayor will make an executive decision if it is deemed to be unpopular amongst locals. In this instance, he will probably be defer the decision to full council.

Sgf....
Well done sir...great work!!!
I shall be tuning in from 10am as I will be on my way down for the North Ferriby game.
