Dirk Gently The massive difference is that local councillors have absolutely zero powers to change this situation, whereas with Charlton they were the ones who directly had the means to make things right.

Dirk Gently The only way that we can get a political solution is to have Toby Jones star in a drama about how terrible the situation is - then the government are likely to jump on the bandwagon and start doing what they should have done years ago.

Thanks, just asking as I think Reading had problems persuading the local council to let them develop the site even though it retained the site for sporting use.
That'll be Wokingham, who are just generally opposed to football in general and Reading in particular because it creates traffic on their nice middle-class roads. They scuppered the stadium expansion plan back in 2006/7.
It'll certainly be worth getting some pro RFC candidates into the local elections there then.

Clyde1998 Noticed Wokingham Borough Council does have elections this year. I thought they had a whole council election every four years, rather than a third of the council being up each year. In fact, due to boundary changes, the whole council is up this year.

Wokingham Borough Council has been opposed to the club in the past; it would be good assert pressure on that council to ensure they don't approve of a change of use on the training ground should Dai sell it separately from the rest of the club.

As long as you can be sure of winning, which is a long shot. Otherwise, all you're doing is setting yourself up as enemies of the party that does win since you stood against them in the elections - making them less amenable to doing what you want when the crunch decision comes. Never underestimate the vindictiveness of politicians.
