Well it seems now they've known about this for a few weeks, and chosen not to let the cat out of the bag, they could have run to the courier with the story but chose not to.

Mr Abbott has outlined his plans to Town officials, they are not part of Reactiv Media.
I would assume that Mr Abbott has done this out of courtesy.

Social media sites are going mad because of these idiots who have near no information to base all there madness on.

Hey Town fan - wait a minute, take a breath and listen first - you never know you might like it? Don't base Tony Abbott on what is happening / has happened in Coventry for example. For 1, our stadium is much smaller and very much incomplete. 2, yes the tax payer has put quite a bit of money into the stadium but they can't any more.

Let's face facts, NO-ONE but Tony and the people involved know the whole facts.

If the football club have known about the plans, and the cat is out of the bag regards the potential purchaser, then FCTown have to make a statement regarding whether its a good thing or a bad thing for the football club. Either way, if the figures stack, the ground will be sold by the council -luckily for both clubs its to someone who seems to care more about either footyor rugby

The problem Rich is that it has been attempted to be done through the backdoor.

I agree that things as they are are not perfect but there are not and can not be any guarantees made that private ownership, through whoever it may be, will be any better.

Its a public assett and as such the Council will have to do this properly which means the Council legal department will crawl all over any agreement. At the moment this is at the negotiation stages and obviously this will be confidential as sensitive information will be being shared, what you expecting an open book with all Tony Abbots business finances laid bare??
Like when the Stadium Trust ran things they were very 'open book' - NOT!

The Council cannot invest much more into the stadium accept that as a fact so why are you saying that a private investor is not a good thing as they can if they have the money and desire to and won't have to go to politicians to decide so. I see that as a good thing myself, all the clubs both need is some reassurance about what rent they pay and income streams.

I tried engaging in a discussion on their forum but their minds are made up. I do believe if the shoe was on the other foot we would be just as concerned. They seem to believe that the council have a pile of money to keep putting into the Shay.

Sounds crazy that the football club have not mentioned to there fans that they're in discusions about this

Re: Sale of Shay : Thu Sep 12, 2013 6:04 am  

Let them do the pitch invasion. They will have to pay to get in, more money in the coffers. A bigger crowd will shed good light on Fax. They could raise awareness that we could be the only club who's owner charges a football club to play at their ground - again looking good in the eyes of the RFL!

The RFL couldn't come close to marketing that World Cup game as well as the town fans!

I understand their concern - they could deal with it better. Talk to your club Town fans, they seem to know a lot. Talk to Mr Abbott. Then decide
