oafc0000 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I drove it every day for six months in rush hour and never had a problem...? Haven't used it in three years... but it was always a nightmare when I used it and full of road works for years.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Charity Commision What a farce of an organisation! Not sure if they're a government organisation but Mr.Cameron if you want to save some more money?.. Failsworth would have been a much better option for OAFC, such a shame this decision has come too late. Thank you Charity Commission and I hope the snow doesn't prevent you from commuting to work this winter! It's a QUANGO. There is something like one charity for every 200 people in this country. Many of them are simply elaborate tax fiddles. A former owner of Latics who shall not be named set up a charity and channelled his marketing budget through it .... allowing him to advertise his other company on the team shirts.

LaticMark Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The original decision by the Charity Commission was made in February. I’m not sure when the council appealed, but it has taken around 6 months to get a revised decision! Yard Dog suggested that some people may owe the council an apology, but if the (previous Lib Dem) council had done their homework and made a full and thorough application to the Charity Commission in the first place we wouldn’t be in this farcical situation now! I still can’t make up my mind whether we should opt for Failsworth or a revamped BP, although it would seem easier to raise the revenue required by selling all the land at BP! My heart is pulling towards BP, but my head is pushing towards Failsworth! The cost of the Lancaster Club site is supposed to be independently verified by specialist third-party valuers, but I would have thought this would now be worth more if the neighbouring 8 to 10 acres could also be developed. If Latics don’t move to Failsworth I’d like the council to honour its pledge to Oldham Rugby and part-fund the building of a small rugby stadium on the site. If not then build a big hotel to shut up the FRAG Nimbys and Luddites once and for all!! In the meantime I wonder when Latics will make an official statement about this latest twist?
