Was a timescale for the public enquiry discussed and are Yorkcourt still committed to the project?

There is a viable Plan B to cover us until Newmarket comes forward but has been said until all the i's have been dotted and the t's crossed the club do not wish to make a formal announcement. That will be done in conjunction with the other party at the appropriate time. Plan B is financially viable and would enable us to function satisfactorily until Newmarket is built.

The Club is seeking new investment, that's no secret, they have been seeking it for sometime now and have had setbacks and will continue to seek that investment but whether you wish to believe the fact that we have a Plan B or not is up those reading these forums.

This is the best and most accurate summary of the night

time scale is anything from 6 months to 18 months and Yorkcourt are still 100% onboard to deliver the stadium.

Which is some good news to come of it all

Plan B - which has been in discussion for around 12 months - is likely to be what most people imagine it to be, but may not be. In deference to the other parties involved, and their own requirements to advise their own supporters of the deal, it was agreed that any announcement would come at a later date.

Those present were asked their views, as shareholders of the club, as to the feelings towards GH, and towards other loactions. Despite a couple of comments re GH, most were dead set against the idea.

It was confirmed that it is possible that we could stay at BV in the event of us not recieving a licence - at least until NM is built.NM is viable whether in SL or NL, but of course is ultimately based on SL.

There are other issues which were discussed and I would advise all existing Shareholders to ensure that they make sure the club have your correct details so that you can be mailed to.

Onwards and upwards!

Then marketing it as the last season is a bit naughty.

Not having a go at you SC, but how can it be described as financially viable if we are in desperate straits already without having to pay rent to anyone - moving out of the area for a season will imo reduce the gates from regular fans, and there is no guarantee that the shortfall will be made up from new fans in the area the stadium we are to use is located. Unless Belle Vue is more expensive to run than the rent on the plan B

You're right Tom, none of this half in half out stuff, if someone can't afford to buy shares as well as shirts, season tickets, merchandise and travelling costs then they should accept being treated as second class or they know what they can do.

I wonder how many have waited with baited breath for news of the clubs future and then having been treated with distain have said THAT'S IT!


Well said, I can't add much to that sentiment.

Timescale in in the hands of the Planning Inspectorate and it could be anything between 6 and 18 months, however we are told that YorkCourt are still committed to the project and are confident that the Stadium WILL be delivered, it just the timing thats the issue.

Regarding the finance side of tonights meeting, would I be right in assuming that one of the things put to shareholders was about increasing the amount of cash coming into the club?
If so were the shareholders given options, yet another share deal and another option?
If so is the reality of enough cash being generated based on previous such deals, basically a dead end street?

Anyone?
