Utter silence as ever from the club, I mean, you'd have thought that they'd be wanting to make a bit of noise to get fans promoting this plan? What's the point of hiring a Press Officer when he's about as useful as a chocolate leg? Come on, step up your game. Everyone knows about Parsonage Way, everyones heard about it from multiple sources.....apart from the football club!

Of course the Press Officer is hired by the club, the Press Officer is listed as an officer of the club, he's there to do their PR legwork, whether paid or not is irrelevant. Spot the fall guy! Yet it seems that the Press Officer hasn't got a clue whats going on either?? No surprise there! The Board keeps everyone in the dark, including members of the Board itself. Clearly the Board don't want supporters backing the Parsonage Way scheme either! PS. Just to refresh your memory www.worcestercityfc.org/news/new-press-officer-appointed-1859664.html

Well that's a very underwhelming document. Not as promising as first suggested

You're really just trying to throw any mud you can get your hands on and hope it sticks. This is nothing to do with me, no matter how much you will try and argue your "you post for the club, you are the club" rubbish.

If you engaged brain instead of trying to take things personally, you might well understand. The point is, and this is the point I made (before you decided to be all defensive) Why has no information come out from the club? Why have the club kept everyone in the dark? What is the point of appointing a Press Officer yet providing no news, particularly news of this importance to supporters and shareholders? Its not your fault that you are impotent at the club, that's down to the Board.
And as a former Director who was equally as impotent, I know the feeling , and the way things work, all too well

I don't suppose this is an attempt by the Council and Club to show that there is a better location for a new " stadium" than Perdiswell in advance of the planning appeal? No it couldn't be could it?
At least we have an " official " Red Herring in the shape of the Mygardenshedisbiggerthanthat Community Car Free Stadium.

If not, why not? If there is going to be an appeal, shouldn't it be lodged asap? After all, to quote a popular song from many years ago "time is tight" 😊

Mark makes a fair point.
Throwing stones about the lack of news from the Club yet the Trust themselves ignore questions about what has happened to the appeal that they are so definitely going to submit, going to win, and going to win all the costs back.

The appeal is presently being processed. The Trust said that we would be appealing, and we are. Its a process, and its in place.

This thread gets more childish as the days pass ! If, as you say,Worcester couldn`t sustain TWO pro clubs, who is going to play at Perdiswell when it`s built - Fernhill Heath ?

As I understand it,and please feel free to correct me if I am wrong,the point of Perdiswell is more than just a stadium to watch WCFC play?

For what it's worth here is my opinion on all this. The opinion of a non politician or businessman, just someone who wants to go and support his home town football club in a stadium of their own and in their own home town.
I still believe that Perdiswell and the proposal for a community facility there is the best option. However, appeal or no appeal it is going to take some considerable time for that to come to fruition if it ever does. Time we all agree that the club does not have. Therefore I think that if the will is there from the club and the Council to make Parsonage Way happen then get it done PDQ. If the Trust want to continue the fight for Perdiswell then let that process continue in the background.

Parsonage Way is not even at a point where the site can be considered for a planning application. This is a report by the Resources Committee (not Planning) to request funds to consider the feasibility of the land at Parsonage Way, and to potentially put together an outline planning application for a basic football ground on the site. Followed by the various mandatory consultation processes. There are a lot of questions to be asked, and a lot of work to be done, over and above the ones mentioned such as the restrictive covenant on the land, and the presence of an existing tenant. This could take years just to get to full planning stage.

What sort of response is that from a Supporters Trust representative?! The Trust is beginning to look as shabby and undemocratic as the Board of WCFC Ltd.

Was there not a forum held at the end of June?

Post by voiceoftreason on Sept 12, 2017 17:42:09 GMT
Yes and I was present. At that very meeting Dave Wood promised another forum four weeks later after the July planning committee made the 'final' decision on Perdiswell.
It is that promised forum I am asking about

The Trust is beginning to look as shabby and undemocratic as the Board of WCFC Ltd. They're probably many good, honest people in the Trust. Unfortunately, the lackeys of John Snape who have infiltrated the Trust have the loudest voice.

Ah, I wasn't at that forum, I have to say that I really have no idea. Although Trust meetings do tend to take place on a three month basis.

Perhaps those from the Trust board who were present would care to comment? (If you could be a little more constructive Rich it would be helpful!)
Dave Wood promised to make another attempt to talk to AH to try and persuade him to pursue a community ownership model and report back to another Trust forum "in four weeks" - that was on 29th June.

We have made many attempts to communicate with the board, never any reciprocation. Basic response from Hampson is that was doomed to failure and that chairman of the trust should show some leadership. For the "leadership" shown by him I think that's quite ironic. Personally I would like that AGM we've been promised so we can ask where we are financially and where has all the f**k ing money gone.

Pipe down genghis, the adults are talking. And what's your contribution? Making veiled, snide remarks and trying to damage the reputation of the Trust at the time the fans need them most? Stay in your box, I can see your motivation.
