New Stadium again.....

[REX]

Prompted to send this by two things. Reading the excellent interview by Chris Thorman in the Daily Mirror, I came across this bit:-

“The stadium got knocked back by the previous council, and there’s a new council in now because of the elections,” . I guess it's just some miscommunication, but it was the other way around. The reason why I , respectfully, point this out is because of the second thing I read, a report of the full ABC meeting in the News & Star (5th March).

Current Clowncil Leader, Mike Johnson, (Conservative, from Aspatria) presented a budget that involved cuts additional to the ones required by the Conservative Government. It was passed by Tory/Indept(sic) members, who make up the ruling alliance. The Clowncillor in charge of Finance, Jim Lister, ( Conservative, also from Aspatria) in supporting the budget, stated " “We need to keep costs under control and not commit ourselves to long-term liabilities.”

Now hold on! Doesn't that mean that they would see any new stadium as an undesirable 'long term liability' ?

Prior to these budget pronouncements, Directors were taken on a free trip to see some stadiums. Have they been taken on one big ride? Surely the BOD need to demand some public answers ?

The reds have had 6 new directors appointed in the last week or so. Hopefully to help crank the pressure up to actually start delivering something? But I agree, an update would be helpful.

One of the 6 being our ex-Chairman, Dave Bowden

Some disturbing comments been made on councillor stoddarts Facebook about the new stadium, it seems the ruling Tories are not keen on any development
