Here's one for Bucks (in his neck of the Woods) please log in to view this image COUNCIL TURN DOWN FREE STADIUM That is the outcome after around ten years of discussions and negotiations with Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council. After spending a considerable amount of money working towards a stadium to be built on land west of the Hilton Hotel at Black Dam, the Council’s original choice of location, the Cabinet on Tuesday evening decided “To advise the Football Club that there is no available or appropriate land in the council’s ownership for relocation of the stadium and bring a halt to consideration of the Old Common, whilst confirming support for the club at its current location.” We await confirmation in writing. The protests were over the loss of open space. Councillors who had objected were part of cross party meetings last year who also failed to agree on any other site in the borough to enable a new stadium to be built. They have decided they do not think a new stadium built at no cost to the taxpayer is required and the council now are of the view there is no suitable land available and encourage the club to remain at the Camrose. The club quite clearly are dumbfounded and dismayed at this decision and feel money and time has been wasted by the club as it appears that councillors have used politics to reach this conclusion, without thinking of the wider benefits to the town. Many members of the public leaving the meeting expressed their support for the club and wished us well, stating they feel we have been let down by the council. Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council will surely go down as one of the first councils in the country to turn down an excellent opportunity to have a new facility. Chairman, Rafi Razzak commented “I am extremely disappointed at the decision, having spent so many years believing the Council wanted this to happen and working alongside us to achieve what we thought were joint aims. I have supported and backed the club for many years and will continue to do so whilst reflecting on this decision.”
It's the past that put this once great club on the footballing map. You are of course entitled to your opinion and you're also entitled to forget about the great players, manager's and achievements if you so wish. I won't............ But each to their own Ristac, if we all agreed on everything regarding Leeds United, we'd have a very boring forum..
Probably some irate passenger, whose train was cancelled due to staff posting on the Leeds United forum..
The sage of the Emerald Isle strikes with words of wisdom. I am the same age as Ristac and get what he is saying but you are, of course totally correct we should never forget.
Cheers Marcos, I'm only three years older than you both. I didn't want to come across as patronising regarding Ristac's age, but I thought he was a lot younger.
Why not either say no one is leaving or just stfu..... Who has he put in the shop window to the highest bidder with this? Cook, Ant, Coyle or all of them....

The FL let other clubs do their dirty work for them in our recent history by letting them vote on whether we got deducted points knowing too well we were their golden egg and they would vote against us, **** the football league and the sooner that Tory **** Mawhinney joins Thatcher. Brittan, Parkinson, MacGregor rotting on hell, the better rant over
That's ok, if he is a lot younger so am I genuinely thought they were wise words and took a moment to consider the possibility someone else had hacked your account
