No. We were first made aware by the council early last week that there was going to be a press release later that week with an indication that there was an alternative bid. We werent aware it was Ken Davy until the press release was made public.

Well looks like a lot of talk had happened between Davy, Bosomworth, CMBC and Fax before you were informed.

As before still only an if / big if according to what Davy is saying in public and he has promised more info after their meeting on the 17th apparently.

And on your other post I know he isn’t but he wasn’t removed he chose to walk out which doesn’t negate in any way what his forum stood for.

There was no obligation for them to inform us before going public.

So when your working group was set up was it to work with the rugby club or as an alternative to them ?

They who are they?

If CMBC well they didn’t inform us either but some of us knew about it weeks in advance from sources inside the club unlike FC Town because they didn’t say anything to your group either.

Just shows how much importance they put on working together and letting their own know then.

Im not sure what you are getting at here, but the working group was formed to look at providing a not-for-profit solution for the stadium because there wasnt any other offering on the table and there was the risk of the council selling it to the highest bidder.

They are whoever. If sources within 'the club' are leaking information, then thats their prerogative.

Just shows how much importance who put on working together? There are, from what I believe, two options that will be on the table. What the working group are offering - an independent, not for profit option - and what Ken Davy is proposing.

Youve acknowledged that there was no obligation from the council to inform you of davys interest and you weren't aware of it till it was announced, is it possible that other options were made available to the council but by your own admission not revealed to your group?

Absolutely. But could we have risked doing nothing?
