The FL will be far more demanding in requiring proof of both the clubs intention and cabability of building a new stadium, this time round.
Are you sure? IMO the FL would be more concerned about not losing what, despite our current status, is still a pretty big team. They'd be even more concerned about spending years fighting SISU in court.

Yep, the FL will use their discretion to ensure the integrity of the competition. The supposition based on facts will be enough to persuade them that the football club feel they are being squeezed out. Not sure why don is trying to argue against this, given the FL have been more than flexible so far. They aren't going to now change tack and take the hard-line.

It would be strange if they took the hard line now there is actual evidence.

Is it a hard line to not allow franchising?
They will want genuine proof we have both the capability and genuine intent to build a new stadium.
If not and they allow a move then it is franchising is it not?

You do realise he was saying that after they had been found out? Also after they knew Millerchip wouldn't allow it also?

How naive are you? They had ALREADY tried to obstruct at that point.

I know I'm actually starting to cringe. Embarrassing

It depends where it is to doesn't it?

It depends if the original move is full time or temporary. It depends what has been said about a new stadium or option that will happen long term.

They didn't with Brighton.

Exactly and all I am saying is this time they will be looking alot deeper before allowing it

Brighton left their original stadium with no plans in place to play anywhere let alone in Brighton. They then played in Gillingham, 75 miles away, with no plans for a new stadium in Brighton.

I take it you are also aware that the FL effectively forced Brighton into a rent deal where that had to pay £480k rent to the new owners instead of the £200k they wanted to pay, because they couldn't provide concrete proof that they could return Brighton if they moved away, so they were had over a barrel and had no choice.

This is the same FL that would never be able to do that.
