Court result - & miracles

[BlueGate Alan]

Just heard there will be a report on it on KMFM in next few minutes.

[Broadstairs Dave]

We have locally, I believe, an ex planning officer who specialises in helping planning applicants. But I guess those involved kwow whats what anyway.

 

 

[dannyriding]

Will this (setback) impact on the deal KP has arranged with HRMC or is this political red tape and small minded blustering by the the Planning Commitee - methinks there is too much wrong with MFCs proposals somehow, surely NOTHING takes this long to be approved

 

Signed - PERPLEXED and ANNOYED

[Guernsey Tom]

I wonder whether the Club will make an official announcement on the "OFFICIAL" web site, before we hear rumours, gossip etc it would be so nice to get a proper heads up on this site !!

[BlueGate Alan]

Don't you believe it with our Council Andy!!!!

[BlueGate Alan]

Appears there were 7 Against, 3 for and 4 abstenstions.

[BlueGate Alan]

A full report will be on Thanetextra.co.uk later

[BlueGate Alan]

Chairman of MISA, Tom McKenna, will be on the news on KMFM at 10

[Guernsey Tom]

Any chance we can have an official response on here ?

[michael]

Agree that a considered club response-and its implications would be appreciated; but lets not forget that our directors and administrators are part time- would it be fair to give them a a bit of time ?

 

 

 

 

[BlueGate Alan]

Exactly Michael, am sure they will update as soon as they can, and hopefully let us know what the next step will be.

[Frankie100]

Any chance we could see a list of which councillors voted for and those against.

 

Would not be surprised if voting was along party lines with Ezekiel's poodles voted as told by their master otherwise they would be sacked as he has done in the past to anyone who disobeys him

[michael]

Of course-the voting on the night may be different,and would have been based on the full merit of the proposal but did you read the letter of initial support that cnclr Ez. gave to the proposal Frankie ?

[Frankie100]

There was a letter from the practise manager claiming that there was a support letter from Ezekiel, however, what better way to try and make you look good by stating one thing in public and let someone else do your dirty work.

 

 

No I dont trust him

I never saw the "actual" letter. Did anyone see it? Does one really exsist?
Will Lever now cut his losses & run (who could blame him if he did),hence will the outstanding tax bill now be left to us to pay,(assuming Lever was going to square this up if he had got the go-ahead last night).
What did surprise me at the time is that a "deal" was made with the taxman to pay up when the development began (now a non-goer).I'm surprised they agreed the deal knowing that a positive decision by the council was a long way off being a "done deal"!
I'm pleased of course they took the gamble but what happens now. Will we be back to square one after a further 4 minor payments are made. Will we yet be given 10 points deduction if we can't pay the larger sum still outstanding?
Maybe best to wait to hear from the club as to what happens next & what route they are to take. I am concerned though.

Nil desperandum.

 

As i think Broadstairs dave posted-as long as the club has the will power,this one still looks like it has legs.

Not that many commercial proposals get through on the first attempt

 

2 objections to overcome.

 

3 councillors in favour.

 

need to modify/justify the proposal and with skill, it will get through on a resubmission.

 

As you say though-lets hear what the club says on it-what was said on KMFM ?

I'm just slightly concerned as to how long a further attempt will take though. My main concern right now is the tax bill. The development,whilst obviously very important can have a few more months to get it right but that tax bill is still hanging over us & still threatens our future.We don't have the luxury of time to rid ourselves of this threat without having to make sacrifices.

The redevelopment of Margate FC is in limbo again after Thanet councillors gave plans to build a new medical centre at the club the red card.

 

The Hartsdown Park side had wanted to build a new complex containing a surgery, dentist, optician and pharmacy next to its current stadium.

 

It would have acted as a catalyst for the long awaited revamp of its ground but a planning committee last night (Wednesday) voted to refuse permission.

 

Tom McKenna, chairman of Margate Independent Supporters Association, said fans left the council meeting "dejected" and admitted he was unsure how the club would move forward.

 

He said: "It's holding up the progress of the club. Less than ten years ago we were playing in the Conference and it's amazing to think that we're now struggling to survive.

 

"You have to wonder how long the developer will put up with our situation. Every week there seems to be another setback but we'll continue to fight and support the club. That's all we can do."

 

Mr McKenna urged Margate fans to get behind the team with a large turnout at Saturday's crucial game at home to Harlow.

 

The match provides an opportunity for the Gate to distance themselves from the relegation zone, with Harlow only two points and one place above them in the Ryman Premier League.

Agree,on the pitch we need ALL get there on Saturday & try & help the players in getting a result.Nothing else WE can do at this stage.3 points this week please & nothing less.

It is unfortunately one of those 'must win games' for many reasons
