Also “is the club being ran”? Present tense continuous question with past tense verb ?

When can we have some proper grammar pedant moderators?

I did think about it, many times in fact, but then I'd also have to correct the capitalisation, which is on the slippery slope towards rewriting it completely...

Is that better for you?

Is that better for you?

Well it was ambiguous. “Was the club being ran” vs “is the club being run”.

It's better for me. That's been doing my head in for ages.

Since you've started, couldn't you insert "trying" in between 'one' and 'to'? Then it would be proper grammar.

Just for you Mr Cannell…

You just don't get this level of constructive feedback on other forums.

Could it not be written in Latin?

Hmmm, did you use Google translate for that? I presume you reverse translated it to check it worked...

Tarquin and Jemima demand this.

You didn’t put your name down as a possible mod when the position was available

*when the positions were available”.

Don’t hold your breath. Not with Tim (nice but dim) Williams running the show.

It is, genuinely, an absolute joke how long it's taking. They did so well with the efficient Des appointment and I think a corner has been turned, then they let this rumble on and on leaving an inexperienced manager exceptionally exposed.

We only really had one position.

On what do you base your contention that he’s nice?

What I find most concerning is that only a couple of months back in the Autumn the road shows were in full swing, Manning had us in the top two against all predictions and all seemed rosy at the club.
We were told our thoughts would be taken on board and I know not all of them will happen but all seemed well and planning would be submitted in December.

In a few short months we have lost a manager and heard zilch about the stadium.
To be fair a new manager was brought in quickly but on the stadium the silence is deafening.
In fact because a bridge was shown on the original plan that came out and is now not there, it gives the opposition momentum when there was none after we got the go ahead.

If the plans needed tweaking a bit fine , but it shouldn’t take this long.To be brutally honest I don’t even care what happens on the pitch this season, all that matters is that we are given the green light on planning.

One other scenario

Are our backers getting cold feet?

Just putting it out there, but as has been pointed out the cost of building any large structure is increasing monthly. Who actually knows what is happening or what they are thinking,as @Colin B has pointed out communication is extremely poor.

Surely someone on here has heard something and can give us some positive news. I’m away for a month but when I return I hope this forum is feeling happier about things

Has anyone had cause to email the club or stadium project team recently? If so, how was the speed of response?

I did. Just got an ifollow style response...

'Your stadium will be built shortly, stay tuned, please stay tuned!'

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