General The Board & Senior Management

[The mighty Aldo]

A bridge was shown on the initial drawings for Stratfield Brake. It was never shown in any images for the Triangle.

Scotchers I get that but didn't the buffoon that is Tim Williams talk about a bridge when discussing the plans for the Triangle?
Anyway I think now that some Councillors have become involved in the issues the road closure will become a problem.
I met Tim Williams once at that infamous Friday meeting and if he comes across to councillors as he did to us fans,then God help us

I think the comments about bridges were that all options would be looked at. There are plenty of sticks to beat TW and the club with, but a bridge over the Oxford Rd isn't one of them.

We’ll see Scotchers but it’s not looking good for us when the plans don’t go in when we said they would.
The club should come out and tell us exactly what is happening, they treat us like fools and customers but not as the lifeblood of this club.

It's probably been said but didn't the board say we would put the planning application in either late 2023 or early 2024? We are now only a few days into 2024? Perhaps everyone is very busy dealing with this? And transfers and new coaches and assistants?

Nial McWilliams is the club exec charged with the stadium.
I doubt he has anything to do with personnel incomings .

The date of it going in has changed several times. At one point Williams even said he thought the application would "go in before the end of this month". That month being November. On a slightly different note, the "there's no point submitting it now" thing before Christmas that various media voices repeated was quite annoying. CDC receive planning applications all the time. If it's ready to go, submit it. Even if nothing is done with it on 22nd December, it's in. The overriding thing of this whole project is how little time we have. Submit the thing as early as is possible to do so.

Yes, I clearly remember Williams saying the same.

So what has happened or changed since the middle of November? It could be minor, it could be something more concerning, but the planning application clearly wasn’t ready to submit in November or for sometime afterwards.

Since writing this I went back and looked for it, it was actually October he said this! 21:45 on this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0gkfz60

At least we would never decorate one of our hospitality areas in Swindon or Reading decor while taking the P**s out of a club legend!

Also, nice to see that even Marco Gabbiadini isn’t a fan of Charlie and Co (even though Charlie probably washed his kit for him when he played for us).

I read that earlier, who in the hell thought it was acceptable to do what they did? I'm just staggered someone could get things so spectacularly wrong.

They even paid contractors to come in and do it!!
There is being out of touch with your supporters like Tim and Grant are and then there is that.

 

[greatunclekip]

I'm sure we've got an assistant manager now. Right? Right?
