One of the issues with that playing field next to the site is the band of trees between it and the Cadent site. Find bats in there and you can forget it. That's before anyone raises the question of removing a green space.

So if a bat disposal expert appears on the Board in a couple of months, we'll know what's going on!
Surely you mean bat preservation expert?

No, a "bats, what bats?" expert...

I'm sure we'll be able to borrow someone from the only other decent sports club in the city, they've got plenty of experience with them.

Those trees will mysteriously catch fire a month or two later.

The heart versus head analogy is spot on.  I was initially a strong no but when you look at the numbers moving to the city centre makes sense.

Ultimately either can work.  Doing nothing cannot.  That is just a slow death.

They must be sounding out sites at the moment. It will leak out, there can’t be many requirements for 30 acres of land out there.

Saka seems like a bit of a flat-track bully.

Nothing that someone with a spade and a 'can do' attitude can't sort.

eav of this parish will know that trees can disappear overnight. Even ones with preservation orders on them. But you have to put them back again.

Yep, this was right by us.

I didn’t man the barricades though.
