It says a lot when people are filling the gaps with every bit of gossip that circulates the town. Years after its anouncment we are still clueless on all fronts such as finance, time scales and so on and all the while wakey/Fevs new projects seem to be gathering momentum while ours seems to be standing still! Dont get me wrong I wish them all the best with their new stadium projects but from my point of view we have had much longer to prepare and gather our own momentum to get the project going proper than they have.
Maybe it is just my imagination but Wakey in particular seem to have made more progress in a shorter amount of time than we have although their first project came to nothing they appear to have had a plan B on reserve do we?
It's starting to drive me potty every time I drive past the site on the m62 or drive through Xscape and look up for any new activity (like Richard Wright breaking ground with a golden shovel!) I just say to myself "get it built" Will it ever happen? and what happens if/when it dosent? I think the more nervouse we get about it the more of a huge let down it is going to be if it all fails and a new and uncertain future befalls our club and we end up where we fought so hard to get out of in the first place.
Having said that I still hold out hope despite my own pesimism and glum attitude that in a few years time we will have the facilities to make us competitive with the best of the league and who knows what else? The location with the leisure complex and motorway so close makes this too good an oppertunity to let slip so I hope all involved are fighting tooth and nail to get it done. Our long term future is on the line with this so I say again to all involved " GET IT BUILT!!"
