Contrary to what is being bandied around by our councilors, it is highly unlikely that a site at Parsonage Way will be used for community benefit. If it ever gets off the ground, I can wager that it will be used purely for football purposes. And for the benefit of the Worcestershire FA. Its interesting to see the responses from the local councillors. The likes of Feeney and Hodgson were vocal about Perdiswell wven though it wasnt in their ward, yet when it comes to Parsonage Way, they are very quiet, trying to downplay the development, and Lucy Hodgson voted in favour of the release of the £100,000 !

Looks like I might need to write Letter number 50,000 to the local press spelling all this out as they seem not to be doing their job

Yes, the Warndon Parish South Ward Councillor is involved & wants to work together with the club on the project. All members of the cross-party committee backed the proposals. It's good news.

No it's not. You're believing a politician ?
It's in the wrong place for many reasons. Perdiswell is patently the correct location.

If nothing changes it's all irrelevant anyway. Could have best stadium in the country but club would still be a laughing stock.

No point bad mouthing the project, it just sounds like sour grapes. I don't think it will happen but let it roll because I'm sure Perdiswell's dead. Whatever happens the useless Hampson and his moron cronies will still be in charge and we'll languish in the lower reaches of non league football for ever or until we go bust.

You are spot on.That's why I will not put 1d into the club ever,ever, again whilst this mob ,hiding behind the outdated constitution (not their doing admittedly),remain in charge.

No quotes from Alan Feeney (who seems to have developed a sudden case of laryngitis) or Lucy Hodgson (of Warndon Parish South Malvern) giving their views on this based on the concerns put across?

If you want to see the club play in the City again then get behind Parsonage Way as it has the Council’s support. Perdiswell has been tried and failed. Anyone who now persists with an argument that Perdiswell is a better option than Parsonage is simply putting their ego above the best interest of their football club.

But what is Parsonage Way? Anyone seen anything that looks remotely like a plan for a football ground at Parsonage Way? Any planning applications made? Any news regarding a football ground been released by the football club? I'm looking forward to Tuesday, when the football club have been invited to tell the Supporters Trust members what the plan is, and why everyone should get behind it. I hope the plan is a good one, and I'm sure that after Tuesday, we will be able to see a plan that we can all get behind.

Come to the Forum on Tuesday night and say that to Jem, Rob, Niels, Dave Wood, myself and countless others face to face who see through the Board’s intransigence and Council politicising. Bet you won’t though - utter coward...

What does "getting behind" Parsonage Way mean exactly?

What does "getting behind" Parsonage Way mean exactly? Probably the same as “getting behind Brexit”. Namely shutting up and not questioning anything as we obediently march towards oblivion...

Parsonage Way is all bluff and bluster by both the Council and the Board, for their own differing reasons. It just won't happen.

Oh dear downthelane, you are missing the whole point of Perdiswell. This is not simply an ego trip as you seem to think, neither is it just a football pitch. Perdiswell will be a community facility. Football is important to it, but not the only useage. Get your facts right or please shut the f**k up !!

You'd have thought that having discussed Parsonage Way between themselves for a good 12 months now, that someone somewhere has an idea what it all looks like? Is it going to be a football ground for a team in the Midland League? or a football ground for a team in the Conference? Or suitable for future development for league football? One pitch? Two pitches? What off the field revenue streams will it support? Will it be grass, or 4G ? So come on Downthelane, enlighten us.... What are we supposed to be getting behind? All I see is a sloping bog, with an ancient woodland one end, a grade 1 listed building at the other end, and an electricity pylon in the middle!

Downthelane just parrots whatever its buddies and sycophants on the Board tell it what to. Basically downthelane has no free thought - just the indoctrinating hive mind of the discredited board and the Tory group on the Council.

I see that the Deputy Director - Economic Development and Planning ( whoever that is ) at Worcester City Council is recommending approval of the distribution centre proposed for Parsonage Way . Having read the report, for the Planning Committee meeting of 23rd November, which lists the few pros and many cons, I'm not entirely sure how the conclusion has been reached that " this speculative employment build should be encouraged. " Let's not speculate now .............. committee.cityofworcester.gov.uk/documents/s40263/Application%20P17P0247%20-%20Land%20East%20of%20Parsonage%20Way%20and%20Trotshill%20Way.pdfFirst the trojan horse WCFC stadium build morphing into the tatty St Modwen retail park with relaxed planning conditions, followed by the vibrant and exciting Whittington Walk housing development, now a distribution centre - whatever next ? A council led football stadium ? A cynic might think it's all been part of a long term plan, or maybe just good fortune for some ?

Firstly excuse my ignorance... I went to Archdales club last night and what a fantastic set up regarding the hospitality suite, which would be a money maker other than football.
I know perdiswell👌 and (bloody)personage way! are the preferred options.
Has Archdales ever been considered? I believe no team plays from there anymore and there is land for a pitch just behind the club house.
Maybe if a Phoenix club evolved they could start at Archdales?
Apologies, but like I say, I don't know the politics of why not, perhaps someone will enlighten me.

There was an opportunity similar to that back in 2007, when the SHAG formed. We had a number of options opening up for us, however, when it came to the AGM, the shareholders decided to maintain the status quo. And since then, we've carried on doing what we've been doing, with the same predictable results....failure.

That's very good of you Rob, but let's focus on Parsonage Way, which is what this thread is all about.
