All gone very quiet on the Hallet/MankyMakeover front?

The fans for the consultation group have been chosen. We should hear some details soon.

Hopefully they wont be the Greens on screens gurner types and a few non Brentworshipers will have a voice.

What as happened to Silent Si and the Manky Makeover?
Its not going to happen is it?

About as much chance as Argo being promoted this season. Brent's complete inability to deliver on anything actually works in our favour for once.

I believe the working party have been selected and a meeting will be happening soon. Not sure when this will be announced by our communications department though.

Shorely to come up with a £5m figure, even Toytown Argyle should have an outline plan of what they'd like to do with that, and indeed how far £5m actually stretches in terms of revamping a stand?

Green Si is fronting the loot. What's the holdup? Are they waiting to see if the makeover can be squeezed in on Sundays and evenings when the Taverners can do a bit of 'cash' work?

In a nutshell announced at £5.1 million. All this working group crap is just lip service. feck all is being built or refurbished.
Brents not going to change the habit of a lifetime and actually deliver.

I suspect the big decisions, such as they are, have already been made. They're not going to have a bunch of fans having a say on how their "corporate conferencing centre" is going to be built and traded.

The working party thing is more of a PR exercise to head off any criticism that Brent experienced the last time. That'll take a few months to make the charade look credible. And also useful to have a "fans' body" backing the developers if they want to try and push any change of use planning with the city council.

100% true

Maybe the argyle debacle should be renamed the Brentsimare.
Can't wait to hear the latest load of Bollox from the non investing money hoarding board.

Shirley not!
