Is it 10 points you get deducted? Looks like they're going down.

Hardly a shocker, rumours have been doing the round for about a week.

Perhaps it was coming, but still a shitter

Good on Pinkney to continue funding it though with a chance his money might well disappear

New owners would mean no more Jayten Ltd (the people responsible for bringing this club down and all the FA charges).

It's not over.

New Ground was a pipe dream created by Jayten Ltd. They had ££££ signs in their head the entire time.

Sounds exactly like one of our previous owners.

Been there with York, Nath. We are still no where near a secure future.

Only because they won't carry out a feasability study into other possible sites. J10 is still there.

The site at J12 is owned by former director Cliff Bassett. He's also a bit dodgey.

Yeh, but J10 has so much opposition is not worth bothering IMO. Would be good for me, (less to travel :lol but can't see it happening.

Aye you think we'd be used to this shit, but it never gets any easier.

At least we've had some good times under Newell whilst all this was kicking off. Had it been shit on and off the pitch I'd be even more pissed off. Bit like now

Same as J12 though. The local villages are against it, and the Local MP has all but said it'd never happen. Centre Parcs got planning permission, which makes it more unlikely we'd also get it.

The stumbling block with J10 are the current owners, the Watson-Challis's. She won't sell it for the going rate. The original 'stumbling block' was all that under the flight path bollocks. The same flight path that'd be over the new super casino complex on the Vauxhall site.

Everyone wants to make money off us

Yeah, lucky you dont support York then

Lets hope the new guys you have in can do a decent job in terms of keeping the club financially straight.

I still have a feeling things are going to go tits up at our club though

One of our clients owns some of the land involved, can't blame them to make a bit off the sale, why not?

Pisser all the same

Centre Parcs makes me laugh though, spend a fortune on planning appeals only for some fuckwit woman in the Government to ignore everyone and put it through anyway

Definately make some money as its an investment, but there is a line to be drawn somewhere, otherwise it's scandalous.

Its a joke. A football stadium will get used once a fortnight maybe?

Centre Parcs is all year round, every day, all day

Exactly. And also offer something to local kids too.

What does CP offer? Overpriced swimming pools and shitty chalets instead of natural wildlife.....
