1st October - and no news about Falmer?

[EastbourneGull]

I can contain myself no longer - so much so that I have just registered myself on NSC just to vent my frustration. Are contractors appointed? Is the funding in place? MP's stadium blog is advertised on the website as 'weekly' and yet it's over 2 weeks since his last one. The club owes it to its long suffering supporters to keep us in the picture - even if it's just to tell us that 'nothing much has happened this week'!

The field has been PLOUGHED and new windsocks have been installed - now that is great news

It would be nice to know, but I don't think the club OWES us anything.

Someday hasn't read the Walsall or Man City match programmes then...

The contractor will be announced shortly, the money will be in place in time for the start of construction. FACT!

Why would any business not wish to inform their customers, or are you saying that we owe them, or aint you really saying anything again !!

i think the club owes us everything, surley its only as strong as the fan base.

Torquay fan?

Not really! I posted it because I've supported the club for more years than I care to remember, seen false dawns, sat in the infamous temporary West stand (aka the Warsaw stand - because of the number of poles), marvelled at the plans to improve the Goldstone (a triple decker all along the West side)...and I dream almost nightly (how sad is that?) of taking my place at the new stadium. I'm getting impatient because I want it to happen, and soon - as an alternative to having my ashes scattered there.

They will tell us what they can, when they can, and when they want to, but they don't owe it to us to say anything.

How can anything I have said mean that we owe them? We owe them nothing either.

If I wasn't saying anything you would have had nothing to respond to, would you. And I would rather say nothing than pontificate like you do based on 0% knowledge and 100% biased agenda.

They're not exactly painting the goal posts JUST yet. But this was maybe something - and this was still in September:

Stadium Progress at last. - North Stand Chat

Never heard it called that before? I remember it being called the Meccano stand - but never the Warsaw stand.

TO be honest, it wasn't that bad either

Maybe the club have higher priorites such as actually taking the project foward, rather than making press releases for the likes of you to criticise.

I doubt Tesco would see giving it's customes a weekly update on new store development as business critical.

i always thought it was the LEGO stand!

Thats how I always remember it as being called.

A couple of years before my time, but my Dad has referred to it as both the LEGO Stand and the Meccano Stand... I guess both are appropriate.

That was in response to Knotty saying that they 'the club' owe us the fans nothing and thats just another example where he feels the owners have absolutely no obligation to the fans, its nonesense

I have my concerns how the latest economic turmoil might effect the raisings of funds, anyone must be.

But it must be obvious whilst information is not forthcoming it might be that actually progress might of halted.

Its a reasonable assumption, I would suspect that each level of progress the club would wish to share those steps with their supporters, it might be that the confidence that was rightly shown some months ago might be less just now.

I can't recall anyone ever campaigning 10 years for a new Tesco store. Nor hundreds of people giving up hours and hours of their time for nothing to help get the store off the ground. Or going on endless protests marches in aid of the New Tesco Express. Or sending postcards/letters/flowers to various politicians in support of Tesco.

The club have always relied on its supporters when it needed them, its starting to look a bit sparse on the reciprical bit.

It was a national newspaper reporter who called it the Warsaw Stand. As has been mentioned in another posting, the views weren't that bad. That's because the Poles were vey thin!
