my immediate responses:

1. We need someone who knows about comms. or even just a proof reader.

2. If this money is "100% enough" to "build a ground" - I would love to see examples of what that amount of money can deliver. Because I just can't believe it so.

3. The reason the Chessington plan fell through was because it's against London planning policy. Yes, it was widely thought policy might change, and green belt might be more available, but when Sadiq reaffirmed Labour's position those ideas had to be shelved. Since then the lack of communications with council is directly down to the club. I was a councillor for most of that period. Kingstonian wasn't on the radar. Without a women's team, without anything proactive, by parroting the lie that you can't fit a football pitch inside an athletics track, and by saying that leaving Kingston was in the club's best interest, there's no reason why the council should have cared or been leading the charge. Taxpayers would be let down for it to have been otherwise. Someone can FOI how many emails there have been from council to representatives of Kingstonian, I'm quite sure. Yes there's conversations now. And that's good, but it's a decade late in starting.

4. The info on whether Wombles money went to playing budget seems to directly contradict what we were told in person on the February meeting.
