Based on my experience of supermarkets, it will all be bollocks even if it does go ahead.

Added after public consultation: Replaced commercial space in Atrium with community space Replaced 6 residential units with community garden Provision of residential home zone, including additional landscaping and private gardens (Significant -my word) community unit added adjacent to memorial square Memorial square design and access improved. What exactly is a community space in an atrium? Sounds like a notice board in the foyer to me? The community garden I assume being the Memorial garden? Residential Home Zone with private gardens? Seriously? Building houses that they want to sell is a community benefit that helps existing residents? What's this community unit adjacent to the Memorial Square? I've followed this fairly closely and have no idea what that is or for whose use it would be intended?If you look at the detailed plans it is marked as village hall....

That probably would have been a better choice of words, but we've reached the stage in proceedings where there's going to be a pit of posturing and bullishness, i just think some posters have used that comment as a stick to beat NH with,when in fairness there are plenty of other sticks to do the job with. And please no one mention olive branches. It is rather indicative of a poor communications approach though. Rovers have tried to behave in a totally bullish way through this whole process; but to me it's come across the other way. Not as confident and dynamic; but as paranoid and insecure. I think I'd have been a lot happier if the emphasis from the word go had been along the lines of 'look this is a great opportunity but there's no guarantees because this is a complicated project and we're going to have to work very hard to get all our duck in a row'. Instead it feels like the more the project has come under pressure the more grandstanding we've seen. I never understood all the people who came on here to celebrate as if that was the last hurdle when the case went through in October that seemed really premature; all it did was keep us in the game for the next stage. There's been a lack of humility and realism about this whole thing; and far too much blind hope and over confident statements. There seems to be this feeling from the board that fans can't cope with complexity or uncertainty and they'll cop more flak that way - but I think in truth what pisses fans off more than anything else is if they feel they're being taken for a ride and bulls***ted and there's no doubt that there have been moments in this process where the confidence that we've expressed in public has not been justified by what was going on behind the scenes. I'm not saying that they should be behaving like eeyores but realistic optimism is a much better approach than default bullishness. You shouldn't treat people like fools - there have been many moments where it became pretty obvious that this project was in the balance but the noises coming out of Rovers have never really been anything other than 'it's in the bag'. That's a good way to lose some of the goodwill Rovers fans had towards the project and the board in the aftermath if the original proposals. You really hit the nail on the head with that. Great post.
