Correct, and many of the Ego's fell into the trap.
As usually happens in politics.
Even those that have joined in protest have fallen for a diversionary tactic.

Still, too late now !

Awww! Could we please just have a few verses of the Red Flag after any goal against Chelsea so we can really let rip with the 'up your a*se chant.'

Its almost been a month since it was confirmed we are the preferred bidder for the stadium. Anyone know why we are yet to see any "plans" as yet?

Plans will be shown once planning permission is applied for, but that is because they have to be made public then. Brady at the SAB meeting said that it should be in January.

Cheers mywhufc.
I understood we'd be seeing them in january but didn't know the reasoning behind delaying releasing any plans.
To my mind, given the discontent of many fans about the move, it would make sense to release plans ASAP to get as many to back the move as possible. Thats if the "plans" are as fantastic as the board would have us believe.
Its not as though there has been any time constraints on the whole process.

All true. I think we can draw our own conclusions as to why they have delayed releasing the plans...

Yes, my conclusion is that the plans are to be sent or have been sent for planning consideration and we will get to see something in the next couple of months. Lets not forget these are not the clubs plans to publish.
If you want to draw your own conclusions as to what the plans are like before seeing them, then I suspect you won't like what you see, whatever they look like !

Brady says LLDC want them to sign contract in January.
Where is the time to show plans, consult fans & hold poll?

I wasn't around last year but when I mentioned my dislike of the bubble machines at a recent SAB meeting I was a reasonably lone voice in the part of the room in which I was sitting.

So you have at least one friend on the board. Out of 200 :D

I was sat nowhere near UtJ .

I find it surreal Bubbles machines are discussed at all .A great tactic to keep the agenda off of the important stuff .

Mr Sullivans programme notes were interesting today .

What's wrong with the bubble machines? All a bit of fun. We sing about blowing bubbles - why not blow them in bulk :lol:

I bloody love the bubble machines..and it pisses off the oppo massively. All in favour of that. I'd personally like to make the opposition fans vist as uncomfortable as possible. Make them all sit down, decrease their their leg room and and put sharp points on their seats which pop up when we score.
Put another bubble machine directly in front of the STBL away section which blows constant streams of bubbles at them.

And boom "bubbles" at them from massive speakers every time they start to sing.
Can we ask for that at the next SAB meeting please... :D

I don't buy the programmes. What did his notes say?

I'm not against the bubbles really but they are a bit rubbish
