Stadium Move

[Mr Happy]

Looks good. I wonder whether the track will be 6 or 8 lanes. Hopefully 6 as it is more of a community/school track than one for senio competition. I didn't feel that a 6 lane track at AFC hornchurch affected the atmosphere. In addition, with closer links to the athletics people, maybe we can attract new supporters.

I am keeping everything crossed. This would be a massive opportunity for the Town, and I am pleasantly surprised reading the Council's initial statement. Ok, so an athletics track is not ideal in many people's eyes, but like some have already said, it can still work, i.e. places like Hornchurch, where the atmosphere was pretty good I thought. The cons are far outweighed by the positives!!

I think his periods coming on and a sense of loneliness and vulnerbility.

Lets push for a 6 lane track if we can..That would mean the pitch could be closer to the main stand.

Looking at the full Cabinet report does throw up interesting questions, especially ones of a financial nature.

[Hawkeye Pierce]

The clues are there if you go through the keyhole!

[Enfield United]

Their will obviously be obstacles and challenges, but a good working relationship with the local authorities, local business's and football charities should help us in this 'road to donkey lane'.

 

IF we get the stadium.

Don't tell everyone he was the masterchef who cooked this one up!

[The Invisible Man]

I hope the full repairing lease does not include the Listed Building!

 

So, would we get the income from the bar and things, and lettings etc. I wonder?

[lovely stuff]

The council are giving 20k a year for repairs..but that money also has to pay for road and access area repairs..etc

[Badger]

This meeting on the 8th - Will the Council reach a decision regarding the future of the stadium, or what?

[Hawkeye Pierce]

possibly?

[andyetfc]

The Council has appointed a single party, 9 member Cabinet. The Cabinet provides transparent and accountable political leadership. It also takes away a lot of the business detail involved in delivering the Council's corporate priorities. This frees up time for the majority of councillors to exercise their ward councillor role. It enables them to focus on how the Council delivers services on the ground.

 

The Cabinet works within the Council's agreed policy framework. It can set up sub-committees to consider specific issues in detail. All Cabinet members are accessible to other councillors and their individual and collective decisions may be subject to scrutiny.

 

Therefore, a decision may be made but could be subject to scrutiny from other councillors, ie. those from the opposition parties.

[Hawkeye Pierce]

Just remember these are politicians!

I preferred the old system. All councillors were then equal rather than an elite cabinet. But then I am a democrat.

 

"The Council has appointed a single party, 9 member Cabinet."

That's what you can do if you have a working majority.
