Ha, ha! But seriously - I assume he would sign the contracts? And who on earth made HIM chairman after what he did at WCFC?

From all accounts JP is Chairman only by name and don't control Sporting's finances. Sporting's ex Chairman John Teece controls finances, John Teece was Chairman of Rovers when they were promoted to the Conference. There is plenty of chat currently going on amongst Bromsgrove supporters in relation to City sharing our ground and without doubt you will be made very welcome. I think if there were a poll of City fans, on where we'd rather play, Bromsgrove would only come second to playing at Perdiswell. Should we come to Bromsgrove, Sporting fans MIGHT be able to get into our games on the cheap, as we've had an offer for Kiddy season ticket holders to come to our games for a reduced rate while we've been at Aggborough, though apparently there's only a handful who take us up on the offer from what I've heard.

Worth noting after the demise of Bromsgrove Rovers steps were taken to ensure no one person could have undue influence on the new club and a restriction was placed on the number of shares an individual could hold. The largest single shareholder by quite some way are actually the supporters society who hold about a third of the shares in the club.

Can we all please understand the role of a Chairman in a company, he has no more executive power than any of the other Directors, the role of Chairman is essentially to chair meetings, end of! The Chairman is one of a group of people who are elected as Directors to represent the shareholders. All directors have joint responsibilities.

Just to keep everyone up to date. As to this day February 24th , Mr Bayliss has had no direct communication with the Board of Worcester City Football Club, and remember, Ms Ramsey didn't only say that the city council were looking for preferred sites, but that they had already FOUND preferred sites. So Mr Bayliss, your CEO says you already have preferred sites, so you may not have delayed in finding them, but why the 6 month and continuing delay in actually telling the club?

Because he will be a laughing stock when they tell you the three places they have and he's desperate to avoid spilling the beans especially on his first day. (The Favourite of which will never happen but if they offer it they can pretend they actually want a football club in the City. As for the other two it is all a big joke). BTW, you can watch him declare his desire to see "Worchester United Town Wanderers Harriers" home, tonight on BBC Midlands Today. Our new song should also be on and there will hopefully be a couple of goals from last night!! Hopefully a lot more City Fans will actually wake up this time and do something to help. We need another few hundred of those lads who have made the banners rather than people who sit on their hands with a gormless look on their face - we could do with sticking one of them up in Whittington Village right in front of the Clowns House.

I have once again written to the Worcester News - hopefully they will print the below to spread the word further:
Sir, The new leader of Worcester City Council, Mark Bayliss, has stated on BBC Hereford & Worcester in the last few days that it is not true that his council has been delaying finding a site for Worcester City FC's new ground - or deciding on the Planning Application currently in progress for a Community Sporting Hub on the unused and poorly maintained land at Perdiswell.
He also stated that there had been no public consultation on the proposal. Perhaps he needs to check his facts - or did I just imagine the large article in Worcester News following the first one?
As of February 24th Mr Bayliss has had no direct communication with the Board of Worcester City Football Club to discuss or rectify such an issue.
However – the new Managing Director of Worcester City Council, Sheena Ramsey (who took over the position from Duncan Sharkey last year), is on record in meetings with the Supporters Trust and the committee tasked with the planning application stating that not only were the City Council looking for preferred sites, but that they had already FOUND preferred sites.
Mr Bayliss, your MD says you already have preferred sites, so you may not have delayed in finding them, but why the 6 month and continuing delay in actually telling the club such information?
Some transparency, honesty and information as to the above would not go amiss – this seems to me as if the Council would rather let the Club finally die in exile in Kidderminster to remove such an awkward issue for them to deal with in future.

I am still waiting for reply from Sheena on email I sent 29-01-16, looks a bit like the proposed sites, left in limbo...

I think with everything going on a fans forum is needed ASAP. I'll sort a date that will be great, i would love to get more involved with how we go forward, as have had great time with the banner appeal with the other three involved, also the singing youngsters told me last night they are making banners at school for 5th March, I think this is great the future of the club getting involved...

So the Football Foundation gave the council £600k to spend on community projects? That could be embarrassing if it became widely known. I hope no one tells the press.....

THE city council's new leader today outlines his vision for Worcester's future - including securing the football club's future. And the 42-year-old, an economist who is born and bred in Worcestershire, today outlines his main priorities for Worcester, including: Scouring the entire city to look at possible alternative sites other than Perdiswell for Worcester City FC, should that bid fall apart COUNCIL WORKERS ARE SCOURING “ACROSS” WORCESTER FOR POSSIBLE NEW FOOTBALL CLUB HOME TODAY Councillor Bayliss revealed the council was scouring "across the city" to look at possible alternative sites for Worcester City FC - with the saga taking another twist. As your Worcester News exclusively revealed two weeks ago, the authority's managing director Sheena Ramsey privately told club officials before Christmas that a hunt had started for "alternative sites" to Perdiswell. The supporter's trust, desperate to get Worcester City FC back home from its Kidderminster exile, is still hoping to resolve its planning application for a 4,000-plus capacity ground at Perdiswell park, but it is mired in complex technical issues. With the land still designated as public open space, Councillor Bayliss yesterday said one of his first tasks was to ensure the hunt for possible alternatives is top of his agenda - revealing the search is city-wide. He also revealed that he has contacted club chairman Anthony Hampson, with the duo now set to talk it through in detail once the work is concluded. "It's one of my early ambitions to find a suitable site that's good for the club, without 'pre-judging' the Perdiswell planning application in any way," he said. "I am very keen to work with the club, we've done a scan of other potential sites and that piece of work is still ongoing with our officers. "I am not saying Perdiswell is off the agenda at all, but that it's prudent to look at other options to see if we can help the club - it needs certainty as soon as possible."

It's heartening to know that the council have got an army of staff busily interrogating Google Earth to spot anything that looks remotely like a green patch of land big enough to plonk a footie pitch on. Probably Astwood Cemetery was notes as a suitable 'hit.
The reading between the lines is becoming clear.......delay the planning until an appropriate plot looks a possibility and then tell (whoops, I mean advise/recommend) the planning department to reject the Perdiswell proposal. There should be no need for an advance plan B (or C, or D) as the planning application should be heard and a decision arrived at. If needed afterwards then yes, a plan B needs considering.
Do these 'found' sites not need planning permission then?
How about demolishing new builds in St George's Lane and turning the site into a football ground?
Dodger.

' Preferred sites' Preferred by whom? Would such a site be sold? Leased? Gifted? And Dodger's good question needs answering, would we have to go through the whole rigmarole of planning permission again? Why am I not feeling reassured?

In my opinion, if the council managed to find a site(their land) then like the swimming pool it should get voted through quickly,with no objections

Regarding Perdiswell Golf, it appears that due to the Swimming Pool building works, that the 9 holes at Ravenmeadow are being played alongside 9 at Perdiswell from 1st April. No mention of buyouts or houses ( not that I'd expect to read about that until after it happened ! ) www.perdiswellparkgolfclub.co.uk/facilities.htmlIt appears that this is for the " foreseeable future ". As we've seen in Worcester, it just happens that some are more fortunate in seeing into the future than others, as to where new roads are going, and where houses can be built !
