This big Announcement
Views: 933
As some are aware Hayden said last week that they would be a big announcement within the next 7-10 days. He said it would be big news for the club, if you connect the dots the obvious thing would be a new home in the Borough. Those 10 days expire today and I would guess that would coincide with this zoom meeting tonight.
If Hayden doesn’t mention please please do mention it when questions are offered out. Hopefully it’s the confirmation of a new ground and a start of building it. I’m sure Casuals wants us gone ASAP (don’t blame them) , I’m grateful they gave us a home in the Borough but we can’t stay there for ever and we need a place of our own
I’m sure someone will relay this to him as a heads up and they’ll probably be a delay on the announcement, but people are excited about a possible new home. (Not in Chessington please though) we need to set the foundation for the future especially IF we’re playing in the National League South

It's definitely time for a substantial update from the directors on any progress with the ground. Covid was given as the reason for delays, but surely now most restrictions are lifted and life is almost 'normal', site visits/meetings etc are perfectly possible. Why not bring the fans onboard with the plans?

If there was any update you would expect that to come from the Directors rather than the manager who would be managing that side of the club.
There’s no chance of any bricks being laid any time soon. There is a open democratic planning process to go through if and when a site has been identified and secured. There would be a consultation process and the application would need to be in accordance with various planning policies and need to be approved by the local authority planning.

Would have thought it's more likely to be related to a big move for a young left back of ours?

Rumour from Stamford Bridge Bryant has signed on the dotted line and K's get 50K.

Even if this is true, according to Hayden there were half a dozen Premier clubs in the chase.
Keith.
Why worry, be happy.

The lack of a replacement being announced for tonight's game would point to this. Shame if true.

He's the manager of our football club. I'd expect it to be related to the football team.
Or are people going to start expecting or demanding a ground announcement each time, when it's clearly not going to just happen like that and is obviously some time away.
There can be other types of announcements in the meantime.

TBF, some kinda update on the ground situation is long overdue. Whether that's a new build or a new ground share.
Maybe Chelsea have decided we can play at Kingsmeadow again?

Also I’d like to think that if and when an announcement is going to be made regarding a new ground, it will be made to all K’s supporters and not just season ticket holders and members of the 12th man scheme.

When there is a big Announcement
Views: 720
As Ali has observed, this meeting is with the manager and is largely about the football team. Any discussions about the ground would be led by the Club’s Directors. I agree with your comment and feel sure that any meeting for fans would be open to all fans.

The announcement was about our young left back potentially going to sign for a Premiership team.

It was indeed and the further information to come is which Premier League Club have signed Brian. I’m afraid Ollie was putting 2 and 2 together and making 5.
With regard to the ground situation, I’m afraid we just have to wait and be patient.

Bryant is another gem unearthed by this club.
What a fantastic opportunity for this very pleasant young man.
Importantly, is he on contract? I somehow doubt it.
What are Ks likely to receive for his services? A PSF with said
PFL club? Thats not enough, nowhere near for such a talent as
Bryant.
