Prescott Speaks

[Virgo's Haircut]

From the Conference...

"I know many in this city want a new stadium, I can tell them an announcement will be made by the end of October".

Read into that what you will.

 

[Exmouth Seagull]

When did he say that?

Sounds promising!

cant read much into that, oh ok you can:

I know many in this city want a new stadium - Sorry you cant have it at Falmer but Sheepcote is a better possibility

I know many in this city want a new stadium - Yes to Falmer

I know many in this city want a new stadium - Sorry the sites, including Falmer, are just not good enough, stay at Withers until a better site becomes available!

[Beach Hut]

I would probably read into it that there's now scant chance (if there was any b4) taht he'll announce anything 2moro!

 

[John Boy]

From the Labour website-

Once again, we’re delighted to be in Labour Brighton and Hove at our Conference. I know many in this city want a new football stadium. They’ll be demonstrating tomorrow in their usual good natured way. Can I say to them, this announcement will be made by the end of this October.

 

[Braders]

OK, doing my bit of guesswork - if the decision is "no", why on earth mention it? Why on earth even acknowledge that "many" in the city want a new stadium? If I was a labour politician and I knew the decision was a No, then the last thing I'd want to do is mention anything to do with football whilst I was in Brighton.

But I've given up trying to second-guess this bl00dy decision...

My own guess work - for what it's worth - after 20 years in the press and broadcast media, is that JP (or his speech writer) would not have said that unless the decision is a YES (or almost yes)

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Good point ballonboy,why mention it at all.If it,s bad news.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

MMM sounds interesting

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Still dont think he will say anything - the people of falmer wont keep silent about it.

 

[itszamora]

I am going to party SO hard when if/when he says yes

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that the only thing that can be read into this is that the decision has been made so any further action is pointless but I am sure that there are people who believe otherwise.

Tend to agree

"I know many in this city want a new stadium, I can tell them an announcement will be made by the end of October".

Well, my gut feeling on that is that he knows that many people want a new stadium, and that an announcement will be made some time before the end of next month.

Thats what it seems, anyway.

 

[Muhammad - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

he could have said "i know a FEW people in this city DONT want a new stadium and can tell them that an announcement will be made before the end of october".....that wouldve rung a few bells!
