No - just stop using it. Please.

Would you like to expand on that.

He hasn't got the greatest form for getting projects completed on time.
Really? I seem to recall that the stadium was built on time once planning permission was granted.

I suppose it was his fault that the council got the decision notice wrong leading to the judicial review then eh.
True (maybe), but a lot of those were for posting photos and videos of the building of the stadium.
You know the one. The American Express Community Stadium. The one you were so against. The one that sells out a lot of the time. The one that is in the process of being expanded.
I thought you wanted your account deleted. Yet you still keep coming back. Admit it, you love us.

Hopefully we can get through the other Hurdles and be on site, probably start of next year or slightly earlier. Happy days indeed.

I see the Highways Agency have put another hold on the planning permission until 7th september to allow for on going talks with the Albion and to give them time to consider the amendments to the plans. Another minor delay but i'm sure it will all be sorted out soon.

I still think our (UK) planning process needs looking at... everything takes far too long IMHO... we all know it is going to happen...

OK The Albion will be better placed than most to understand just what a minefield the planning processes are but if our training ground project is is an example to go by then this sort of thing isn't helping the UK get out of this recession either - Tony Bloom has stumped up more of his dosh to invest in Club and Community, creating jobs during both the building phase and for the completed training complex, the Club has played by the rules, responded to the planning process but still finds itself having wait before the first sod is cut.
I guess this is just another formality and that Martin Perry will iron out any issues but does make you wonder if potential investors and entrepreneurs for other ventures are being deterred, especially with the banks seemingly reluctant to lend.

Nothing is ever guaranteed but I do have faith in Martin Perry delivering the academy/training ground before he retires.

Come on!
There's a two page centre spread in today's Argus about the training ground. Well worth a look if you can afford the price.

Put so eloquently; thank you for that... IMHO, it is just too easy for a misguided vocal minority to hold-up obvious progress...
