Just seen someone saying on Twitter, that Radio Derby have mentioned Mel Morris has gone to ground and no one can contact him regarding the status of Pride Park Stadium.  
 
Hate is such a strong word and is used to much in todays society. But for the first time in my life I can sincerely say, I hate you Mel Morris. Stronger vocabulary would have been used if it was not blocked.

Don’t know if I’m just stupid (more than likely) but wouldn’t there be someone with an Derby County Allegiance in Mel Morris’s ear telling him to sell the ground for the sake of the city and the fans!?

WTF would you dress up as Chubby Brown, I guess it's reassuring to know we have dick heads among our fans as well....

If the difference between getting a points deduction and not getting one is a couple of million then surely some crowd funding could raise that sum? I appreciate this needs organising but surely could be done. 

Does anyone from BAWT post on this forum?
Or are they too good for that?

It would make paying the council tax a bit easier knowing it’s going towards pride park. Oh and to also tell Gumps in the area that they are helping save our club ??

A few of us suggested exactly this when the Council met with some of the stakeholders a few weeks back. I said then and I stand by the view expressed, that from a fiscal perspective, it's an absolute no-brainer given they would be able to levy a ground-rent of between £1m and £2M per annum. Some folk need to do the basic maths on this. The deal would add to the Council coffers, not detract from them and that's before one considers the broader 'indirect' social and fiscal benefits. Furthermore, the Council will not have to stump up the £22M, which some on here appear not to grasp at all. A greater concern to me would be whether this arrangement might detract from the appeal of the club to the current bidders, though I sense they are only offering a token price for the stadium in any case.
All of this notwithstanding, my preferred option would still be that Morris consider his stated commitments and at very least, substantially reduce the asking price for the stadium. It won't happen of course, but by rights, he should actually without further delay, agree to transfer ownership to the new owners 'for £1.00' in keeping with his promise to do so, or have the class to explain to a fan base who feel betrayed and misled by him, why he is unable to.

Council buying the stadium and leasing it back with a purchase options is a great idea.
We've got some weird ducking 'supporters' on here, determined to find a problem with every solution ?
