One guy who got it right at a time when land was free if you got there and staked a claim “ Buy land - they’ve stopped making it! “

To keep them informed of your discussions, that would bring other people together that would otherwise be unable access etc (as stated above). I'm sure you will get a lot more suggestions ( people would feel that they are helping a lot more). I also think the more ways you find to include people the better.

Why not join the group and do what you say? I've given you the details.

Simple enough for everyone.

If you are interested in actually doing something apart from spouting off and criticising what others have tried then PM me and i'll give you the group details.

No more from me on this. Case closed.

Nobody, as far as I can see, is being critical of the people involved. It is though a fair question to ask what has been achieved? You know my view. Set up the Trust with the sole aim of raising funds to develop a stadium. Whilst an endorsement by the club would be welcome, for the very understandable reason that the club have short term issues, there will always be a tendency for the club to turn this group into a fund raising group and that in my view will prove fatal.

And finishing any post with the sentence 'Case closed.' smacks of an appalling arrogance.

Plus I have no idea why a private message should be involved . Just post the f*cking details then everybody knows how to join. That just sounded them and us.

I now understand that private messages are necessary apparently because some personal information is exchanged. My apologies

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

I like Rodney Parade. I want to stay there

There's nothing to say that we couldn't stay there unless the Welsh Rugby Union say differently. When I say Fundraising for our own stadium doesn't necessarily mean a new build. We could Fundraise to either make an offer to the Welsh Rugby Union for Rodney Parade or buy 50/50 shares in the stadium and then sometime in the future buy the stadium from them, as long we put that somewhere in the contact and as long as they also agree to the idea.

RP has to be number 1 option. Transport links for fans make it easily the preferred option

Only if the WRU can gaurantee reduced usage. 1 rugby team plus County or we will spend forever playing on a Sunday league pitch. Failing that, complete redevelopment of Spytty.

why don't we set up a just giving page with a £5 million target - to be supplemented by the club and council and sports /health bodies once target is reached - if we set it up with NRFC fans then there's a nice big pool of people to contribute to the total.

Good idea.

To be clear this criticism has nothing to do with the board of directors of Newport County AFC.

Whether it was £3.75 million or £1.25million makes no difference. That an area of land that size in Newport city centre exchanged hands for so little stinks of corruption. Who was corrupt I have no idea but Newport RFC were shafted.

I must agree with you, Stan. There must be an investigation into the sale.

Hi Willthiswork, I forgot to thank you for your PM. When I have finished reading this thread I will let you know whether I would like to join your group or not. But I must say it is not looking encouraging.
