You're right: I forgot - the Sporting game is an away fixture - not that it makes a scrap of difference. There is still plenty to play for, so all these so-called "supporters", who "can't be arsed" are missing out, and so is the club, which needs their support. It doesn't matter who the chairman is - the club is bigger than that. pfft

I wouldn't go even if I could. Hampson, Boddy and co have completely destroyed a part of my life that I loved. I don't care if we win, lose or fail to turn up. I only come on this message board in the vain hope that I'll find out Hampson has f*cked off. Agree 100%

Just one of the many questions I asked at the consultation, with no definitive answers provided. Yet the club somehow intends to apply for planning permission with an uncosted pretty picture, and numerous issues to be addressed ? With the precedent of Anthony negotiating a 600 k infrastructure payment to St Modwens for precisely eff all on that shabby mixed use unfinished retail park, I'm fearing the worst. If we have anybody with links to Western Power maybe they could give a view of potential costs. Dodger. That will be me then........The cost will be very much dependant upon what the Club ask for in terms of the power requirement. There is already a power supply to the existing farmhouse on the land adjacent to the Parsonage Way site. If the power requirement is small this could be tapped in to. It's difficult to imagine a development such as the one shown on the plans provided for the consultation requiring something too large to do that but until a request is received from the Club with more detail it's not possible to say. If Western Power had been approached for a quote to lay on power to the site I would not be able to discuss it with third parties but I do know that no such request for costs has been received yet. Not much help but there you have it.

Saturday is vital now... win that and we are still in with a chance. I think if we lose, it's game over for the title. Game has been over for quite some time. Wake up.

I'm not sure of the value of posting on here anymore as it all seems so hopeless and I've lost the faith. However, this latest development shows how low the club has sunk. The whole NW fiasco was about opening up a green corridor along the motorway to development. The deals were worth a huge amount of money and no doubt many land owners; solicitors; officials; agents etc etc received highly lucrative "consultancy fees" and other "expenses". It meant the death of WCFC- but why should that bother them? Now here we go again. Only this time, instead of using a viable active football club as bait for development on the other side of the motorway, they are dragging the dead corpse of our once loved club to the planning slab. Shame on them. For goodness sake stop supporting this disgraceful regime and let the club die with some dignity. I agree with this. I have only bothered to go and watch City twice this season (both were away games) and I’m not really missing it. I just wish this whole sorry saga would end because I’m not enjoying it at all

I didn't go because John Snape is clueless. Wayne Thomas should be given the job before our season is over by Christmas Our season is already over. We ain’t going to win anything. We simply are not good enough

Of course that last comment of mine was just me kidding. I’m just so fed up with the whole sorry state of affairs that is Worcester City FC that I can’t take it seriously any more. A strange thing to say I know when what has happened to the Club is far from funny.

I too have known Paul for Manu years, since he used to call to my house on a regular basis in his then job as an insurance agent. A very nice guy who always had time to say hello when I met him at the footy. A very sad loss.

Oh and btw Jimbo I d join you at Pitchcroft and put my tenner in the bucket too. At least we could walk to the ground and have a couple of ales before the match without worrying about driving after. I reckon we d get more than 300 too. I don't think the time is right yet though. I think we need to wait for the Perdiswell planning application to be determined and if that is positive but there is no genuine positive action from the limited company that offers a realistic and viable plan to secure the future of City FC for future generations to enjoy then it would be the right time to start seriously planning for the formation of Worcester St George FC and prepare to slay a rather ineffectual and puny dragon. Not sure there is a need to form a new club from scratch. We already have Worcester Raiders playing in the City on a ground of their own. Why not just get behind them then if Perdiswell happens it becomes their home ground.

I notice that the population of Iceland is around 334,000, compared to 569,000 in Worcestershire. Surely this is proof that an independent nation of Worcestershire would easily qualify for the World Cup? Not if that team put in performances like the one on Saturday

The board don't want promotion. If that were to seem a possibility they would sell players and ensure the club stayed in this league. Your support is wasted. I am prepared to go to the occasional AWAY game but only until I get fed up of the “football” on offer

Not sure how much longer I can be bothered to watch this shite. Only managed two games so far this season. Shawbury and Chasetown and both abysmal performances. For me the fat lady is on stage and clearing her throat. Sorry to say it.

Still attending: still enjoying seeing my team playing, at no matter what level. In fact I think it has made me more appreciative of just how many local teams there are in non-league football. Personally I don't think the drop in level has been as noticeable as I expected: some poor decision making and poor passing yes, but everything else I've enjoyed, and with the club being the top scorers in the Midland Football League I'm seeing some goals, which is what football is all about. There were 378 there on Saturday: we can't all be wrong. That depends on how you look at it Tim. If all you are bothered about is seeing your team for the next season or two then that's fine. However if you are interested in having a Worcester City, in some form, for your grandson and his children, and playing in the City, then some form of protest against this incompetent board is essential. For me the only way, currently, seems to be to withhold my money from them until they resign and let someone competent get on with the job. However others could protest in other ways. What is clear is that attendance coupled with silence on the way this club is being run = the directors believing that you support their way of running the club. I agree with you 100% Niels

Not attending home games and due to circumstances including holidays have only managed the Cup replay at Chasetown away. Scary thing is the less I go the less I am missing it.

Apologies in advance as I am only a casual observer to all this so may not have all the facts but as I see it there are 3 plots of land currently linked in some way to our quest for a new ground: 1. The far end of the St Modwen development which still remains undeveloped & where I assume the original stadium would have gone? 2. Perdiswell 3. Parsonage Way The top 2 would have come with all the infrastructure in place, given us our new ground much sooner & should theorerically been the cheapest options to construct. It now looks the council are willing to invest £100,000 of our tax payers money looking at parsonage way. If this proves successful the club then has to find the money to not only clear the site but sort out all the infrastructure works, highways modifications, car parking, lighting etc. It is by far the most expensive option to consider & potentially has the longest timeline. This may be a stupid question but what is happening to the land at the end of the Nunnery Way development where the ground would originally have gone? For the clubs board to put Parsonage away ahead of Perdiswell is laughable. Don't forget that a development on Nunnery Way will require a pedestrian footbridge over the roadway. A pelican crossing and reducing the speed limit to 40 mph will not be allowed.................oh, wait a minute

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.

When will the Trust be holding the forum it promised "in four weeks time" back in June? Yes 100% It will be the day after the WCFC Ltd AGM. Very good rich 😊

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. On the subject of appeals..........is there going to be one? If so, when? 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" 😊

Correct. If City will be spending a second season at their current level then I would expect attendances to plummet come the 18/19 season. You mean the club have enough money to exist in the 18/19 season?
