So another 33 pages on here and i for one still have no clear idea where the club will play next year
if anyone can please enlighten me i would be very grateful

If you want a decision right now, I can do that?

If you want me to delay a decision, to give us every possible chance of staying at BV I can do that too?

I can't think of one reason why anyone needs to know, in August, where we are playing next February?? Am I missing something? There is one reason to know, and that is season passes, but they don't go on sale til next month?

Fully appreciate all you and others are doing MC.People are desperate for information because most really , really care. Trinity has been part of my life for over 60 years and honestly they ground situation is driving me crazy. My wife says I am on edge constantly. Perhaps folk want to know more about the background relating to the stay/ leave scenarios. Trying to be helpful here .

Just stay calm. Imagine how stressed the people in the middle of it get. Forget about it and just enjoy the rest of season. Things change daily so there is no point putting statements out because there are out of date within 10 minutes!!

A point to note:

Although the ACV status was irrelevant in faction to that sale by the BOI, it does still apply to the ground and IF the new owner wishes to sell, we would have 6 months to raise the funds to do so.

Not saying that will happen, but it is one of the scenarios.

Given they'll know this then i think they'll be quite happy to sit on the land for as long as it takes. Ot does mention on their website how land banking is one of their company policies so it's likely to be a tactic they've used before.

I'll go with the second choice please!
We've all waited so long what's a few more weeks going to matter?

'I can’t think of one reason why anyone needs to know, in August, where we are playing next February ??'

Did you really mean to say that? Regardless of the current position, how on earth can you presume that the club’s support base must have no interest or stake in where they are going to watch their team play next season, the season after or indeed even ten years from now. You may be working hard to solve a huge problem but I’m not so sure that being part of this forum benefits your position, as these platforms can easily result in people making untoward comments and responses that can then cast a very negative light. The fans justifiably are very worried.

Bit of a damned if MC does post on here and damned if he doesn't. Especially when people are posting false information that can escalate very quickly and get people even more worried and wound up. I see no reason he can't put incorrect information to bed on here. It'd be a pain in the backside doing it on the clubs website for every false rumor. By the sounds of it the MC etc are right in the middle of very frustratingly ball ache of a process, of getting us the best possible outcome for ext year.

I can't see why not knowing in August is such huge issue. It makes no odds at this current time. Our next home game is at Belle Vue and season passes are not on sale for next year yet. So again why is an immediate answer so essential? Surely the right decision at the right time is more important than yet another knee jerk decision. Which let's be fair we have quite a history of from previous incumbents at the club.

My post does not refer to a demand for an immediate answer nor a knee jerk style decision.
