... and now we have a decent pitch, we can't expect the weather to get us a handy postponement.

Having read and digested the club statement and a reply from a councillor to an Alty fan, the issue now will be getting the inspector to attend the ground and sign off the repairs I assume. Likely he wasn't available at short notice to attend the ground as will have other appointments scheduled in...

Personally would have set the meeting up prior and strived to get the repair's done in time.

If the will is there to get something done, 99% of the time people find a way.

Come on The Council, or whomever.

Hi Dave, without trawling the forum to read the councillors reply, could you cut and paste it and post or point me in the right direction please? Cheers fella.

This fixture should have been switched. I'm not going to take this as an opportunity to club bash because I do believe that we are doing everything we can to make this work, but I can't help but feel that 8 working days to get the work done, reviewed and signed off was cutting it fine. That's from the outside looking in, though. It just seems that these types of things always involve a lot of dragged feet.

Trafford Council needs to post a warts and all account of proceedings for their own sake, if it's legal to do so when this is all ongoing. We need their side of this. Andrew Western has said in an email to a fan that he has reviewed the processes and procedures that are being followed and he is happy with them. From their side, it would appear that there's far more to it than we are letting on. Just how bad is it, then, if that's the case? We can take it. We know the ground is old and tired. It would be far less damaging to our reputation to publicise that fact than to have us messing around with fans, both loyal and floating, who deserve answers - not least because many are members of the electorate that vote them in.

Can see the sentiment, but I doubt that Southend would have agreed to at such short notice as it wouldn't have given them time to get their commercial side lined up. And that's assuming the league would have allowed it.

I dont think switching is a valid option.

Why would Southend agree to something when (as with Gateshead) they may benefit from the situation.
It would affect matchday operations - match sponsors etc
It could be argued that this is of our own making.

Short notice is only a problem at this stage. The request could have been logged at 9 am last Wednesday. Given the league accepted our move to Broadhurst Park last season I am sure that they would have at least entertained the idea and allowed us to put a case forward, a good case at that.

Southend and The National League have every right to reject the idea, and I agree that Southend may well have done so for the reasons Hemel Alty states, but we haven't even entertained it. I find that disappointing personally as it was a potential fix.
