Well, having a look through there does appear to be a few discrepancies within itself.
For example.
Early on it says it has been a distraction that has involved an immense amount of work caused by the uncertainty of what was going on and not being consulted and also the length of time taken for discussions between the council and TA.
From what has been said did anyone know what was going on, the agenda seemed to be changing and evolving all the time.
First an enquiry to finish the corner, then a bit more, then the whole stadium.
As it snowballed obviously there was more and more involved taking longer and longer to consider.
Logically, only recently when it finally got to this point could the Council, for the first time decide and say anything.
Also if things had been rushed through, then that would have been criticized as well, ("no due process".)
It was the time element that allowed the "cat out of the bag" as it is called and allowed the ACV to be applied for.
The ACV itself will add more time to the process and doesn't even start until if and when the sale of the Shay ever returns to the table.
Time in that sense is an ally of anyone (FCHT for example) not wanting the sale to go through not an enemy.
Later it says that when a meeting (consultation) was held with FCHT and TA there was no commitment from FCHT to come to a conclusion at that meeting or a subsequent meeting.
So when they are not consulted they have been left out and it takes a long time it causes problems.
Yet when they are consulted they did not want to bring it to a conclusion resulting in it taking even longer.
It states they were not prepared to enter into a tit for tat comment saga even though we disagreed with some of the comments made by TA in the public meeting.
Later it says that the reason for not accepting the sponsorship money would be hypocritical when we may be totally opposed to what TA proposed.
Is it some disagreement or total disagreement?
Anyway all anyone can do is wait and see what happens in these future meetings.
I wouldnt trust them any more than Mr Abbott to be honest, as I dont know them. They can say what they want, but it doesnt make it true. The Owners (The Council) dont have to tell them or Fax (The Tenants) anything about any meetings if they dont want. If a landlord has received a bid for his property he doesnt tell the tenant. So why would the Council involve the football club about a bid made? Maybe after advanced meetings and The Shay would possibly be sold, the Council would make contact, but again doesnt need to do. The football club should stop moaning and crying and except they are tenants and as such dont hold any rights or demands on what the Council decide regarding the shay. The same goes for Fax as Tenants.
