MISA message re Planning Meeting 17/12

[BlueGate Alan]

MISA ask that those attending the meeting conduct themselves in a manner which brings credit to the supporters of this great football club. Without prejudging it promises to be an emotive and emotional evening. Whatever the final outcome let's ensure a level of dignity to be proud of. Remember if the worst case scenario prevails the fight goes on.

 

[Ian_Sanderson]

As the planning application is for a medical practice and nothing to do directly with the ground; i can't help wondering whether it is best to dis-associate any connection with the football side of things;and in fact it may be perceived better if there is actually no 'spectators' there ?

 

I bet a planning application for a medical centre has never created some much interest from the football fraternity before !

Maybe just the medical centre Michael but the implications of a refusal are many.Ultimately it COULD lead to our club being back in the s*** again,possibly a folding of our club.To me this is a very very important decision the council are making on Wednesday & a meeting that I think many should attend if only to show their support.
Unfortunately I can't make it as I have work commitments.
Am biting my nails & hoping & praying that they for once "give us a break".

[geoff pay]

My hunch is it will be deferred.

[Frankie100]

You mean the usual from Sandy and his gang of yes men

 

Hope we will get bored and go away

Hope all goes well for Margate

I have to agree with MM on this one,the council know just what it means to the fans,but we3 are talking about a medical centre here.By all means show support but not by shouting and swearing.

[Coffin Ender]

I've been looking through the documents for this application at the UK Planning website.

 

On July 3, 2006 we received planning permission for...a football stadium, 80-bed hotel, fitness club, children's play area, theme bar, conference and banqueting facilities, hospitality boxes, admin offices, 10 five-a-sides (the only bit so far to have been built) and one full-size all-weather pitch.

 

Quite a list of commercial development there...but not enough to fund the new football stadium? Hmmm...

[BlueGate Alan]

Surely that was dropped CE, can't remember reasons why though?

[Coffin Ender]

All aspects of that application, BGA? I'd guess that Gary Lever wants to squeeze as much money-making potential out of the development as possible. How else is he going to get a return on the money he has spent?

 

 

[Robfiveo]

Think some of the problem is that Hartsdown park has a covenant stating the land be used for recreation purposes and the developmemt may contravene the the covenant.

[Iris's Tea Hut]

So does Jackie Bakers, but it doesn't stop the council building a school, retail and warehousing on it and carving it up with a road...

[BlueGate Alan]

A final reminder to all those attending that we are there to listen to the business. Any outbursts no matter how minor they may seem at the time could prove to be counter- productive. Let's not tarnish the name of our club.

Thankyou.

[Paul H]

Can we slate them on here afterwards please Alan. I'm not going tonight. I find the whole MFC situation frustrating at best.

[BlueGate Alan]

Yes feel free on here Paul.
