2 of those decisions were made before Olsen and it’s Olsen you’re all blaming for our current predicamentThere's a huge difference between negotiating with another party you have few previous connections with, and negotiating with your mates and ex-colleagues. You're suggesting it's a conspiracy there would be a difference? Come on.
You'd think that someone who was previously involved with one of the main negotiating parties, and was an ex-politician, would help us dealing with the main party and the various councils. Has that been the case?
As for alternatives and contingencies, I'm just pointing out the club doesn't have any, which is their failing. They had three options, one of them they chose not to continue with (the Aquatic Center), one of them should probably be viable but for whatever reason isn't (remaining at West Lakes), and the other is sputtering along. The fact they ruled out two options and are currently on option 3 with no other choice is their decision. It's totally fair to criticize them for that. The club hasn't just found itself in a position by chance where Thebarton is the best viable choice remaining, they actively went down that path.
