Tonight's the night where we find out who will be running the City for the forseeable future at the Full Council Meeting.
Anyone heading along to it at the Guildhall? Starts at 7pm - would be nice to get a few of us down there.

I'll certainly try and make it down there - do you know which room this is held in? It could get cramped!

So when will/was the planning application be submitted for Perdiswell? If it hasn't been submitted, why the delay?

Sounds like Mark Bayliss threw his toys out the pram. Makes for satisfying reading.

Sounds to me like the Greens are just trying to absolve themselves of blame for the decision on Perdi, which is fair enough as that was the commitment they made in their manifesto.
The most important thing for me is that we are now lead by a council that actually realises the importance that a majority of the population attach to WCFC. We'll get in at Perdiswell, I am more certain of that than I have been for quite a while.

Sequential testing of any alternative sites is currently being undertaken.

From my (many) experiences with them, the local Green party is a reasonable party. They're also not idiots to be taken lightly.
Ask yourselves, why is Perdiswell still a no go for them? Answer: because that's where they hold a seat, and they're worried about losing it. If they work with their Labour colleagues, who are very much so on our side, they may well be able to see the light, and explain to their constituents why they support it. The planning application has a few details which would help make the stadium more environmentally friendly than most, so will surely win favour there.
I have more hope than I have in a fair old while that Perdiswell can and will happen - that might be foolish of me, but I guess it's a matter of wait and see.

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread for posting this, but here goes.
I ventured to Perdiswell last Sunday out of curiosity, big mounds of earth building up around the swimming pool. I was surprised to see all the area from the Sports Centre at the front to the edge of the golf course (to the North) fenced off. In fact from by the footbridge that leads to Drover's way even the Sports Centre was obscured by a huge mound of earth. Not a blade of grass to be seen within the fenced off area.
It seems that now, more than ever, would be a perfect opportunity to synchronise/coordinate any new development while the area resembles a building site to the South and a ploughed field to the North. One lives in hope.

Not remotely surprised at all. Labour needed the Greens to get the Tories out, so another deal done, at WCFC's expense.

Haven't all of these alternative sites been investigated already? Peddling tripe. More delays. JUST GET ON WITH IT.
Has the avenue of completely cutting out Worcester City Council been investigated and approaching Wychavon District Council instead? I'm sure it has, but it's good to voice ideas. At this rate, we're destined to never have a ground in the City.

Also, why is vice-chairman Colin Leyland talking to Worcester News about the Perdiswell situation? How does he expect the club to fund it as a limited company? Stop avoiding the EGM and get out.

Investigate alternative sites in Worcester ? We've heard all this before so many times. It's been done and there aren't any that are suitable, so why do it all again ? Any green space gets a house built on it !
Any chance of scrounging one of Worcester Rugby Club's Wychavon District Council's fields ? With a council like Worcester's, you can certainly see why they moved outside the City boundaries.
If a Club representative is on this so called " working party ", can it be a recently appointed Trust member such as Jem Pitt, as opposed to one of the old board who are leading us nowhere quickly, and who appear quite content to do so.

When Louis Stephen came knocking on my door for votes, he said about a site at Martin Hussingtree

I could not agree more, he would be better employed finding a reason to hold the requested EGM than being a party to finding reasons to delay it. As you rightly state WCFC do not have the funds or method of raising them to build a new stadium so let the Shareholders decide if the Trust run club is the way forward. If indeed you do not want to relinquish your hold over the 'fiefdom' then proceed to wind the farce up.

Not at all surprised, the Greens campaigned heavily on the anti-football ground theme in the ward, and got voted in for their trouble. As others on here know I never ever thought the club would be able to build a stadium on Perdiswell, so I'm not shocked, or disappointed. When I spoke with Cllr. Alan Amoss about 6 weeks ago (I asked him when the planning committe were going to vote on Perdiswell) he informed me that no planning application had even gone in! I knew something was odd then. Back to the drawing board yes, but its far from over. If there are no other suitable sites for a stadium in Worcester, then start looking outside the city boundry. Many other league and non-league clubs don't play in the actual city/town they are named after, so why can't WCFC? Droitwich may offer alternative venue for a stadium?

Colin Leyland wants to try & make himself something he is not, he is also the one not wanting the EGM, glory hunting is something he does gagging would be the first option, he needs to grow up hand the reigns over to those who really care about WCFC & let us get what we want, like to know how people who read newspapers have an opinion of what was said,some of us went & listened to the council changes, & nothing was said about WCFC & not getting Perdiswell, lets get the plans approved the we can ask the council for the land at perdiswell, then we will see what we get, speculation by some of our board & supports is not helping our cause, lets do it by the book & listen to what the supporters club are wanting to do as they are the only ones working to get the club back to Worcester...

Sold down the river by Labour eh who appear to have used Perdiswell as a pawn in getting a deal with the Greens. What a joke.
You could argue that at least Labour (pro Perdiswell) are now in the box seat although the make up of this Council is a mess in terms of WCFC's ambitions and the various stances of the other parties. I hope I am wrong but I am really not hopeful of a positive outcome out of all of this.
We need this planning application to be heard ASAP so that if/when that goes through then at least it puts us in a stronger position.

All done for their own personal agenda with no regard for the club, absolute disgrace. We all know there are no alternative sites witchin the Worcester city boundary. RIP wcfc, I fear this could be the beginning of the end. Not good news, we know even if the plans are approved they look as thought they will reject it. Complete liars. Maybe worth seeing if Wychavon council have any land?!

That would be in addition to the task force set up by WCC in October to look for alternatives? This is nothing new, if alternatives to the alternatives are found then they will be sequentially tested for viability. Then we can answer the question is Perdiswell dead, keep the faith!
