I dont see him making any kind of personal appearance on this, although this is important to us, it's not likely to be something at the top of his agenda (who do we think we are?)
It only need a letter sent out to someone, and as such, could happen at any time.

The issue is politically sensitive for many reasons - even if we are not the biggest item on Prescott's agenda.
Even if it is only a couriered or mailed decision - it will be accompanied by a press statement. Therefore it will only occur on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday of any given week. It will also be timed for mid morning.

If looney's spy is right, and there is a dispute between Defra and the ODPM about the National Park issue, this would have to be resolved in a way that allows both Secretaries of State to emerge with credibility.
It's this sort of stuff that takes time at this stage in the process.
Reading between the lines ...
Defra have no reason to want any development anywhere near a National Park. I would therefore assume that they are the party that opposes the Stadium.
Therefore, if there's a dispute, the ODPM must be supporting the Stadium.
But the dispute must be resolved before any announcement is made.
In the final analysis, it is the responsibility of the Deputy Prime Minister to resolve inter-departmental disputes. No doubt a meeting or three might be needed.
But who will Prescott back? His own department or Margaret Beckett's?
I am IMMENSELY optimistic.

I wouldn't trust the word of Looney on anything.

Okay guys ... following my chat with Miliband's PA (see other thread) I went back to my guy at Whitehall ....
From the enquiries he has made the announcement wil NOT be next week, is highly unlikely to be Monday 17 or Tuesday 18 Oct (cos of inciting potential problems at the Palace game), but will be anytime from 19th onwards.
So that leaves 19 or 20 Oct, or 25, 26 or 27 Oct as the likely days.
My guy is NOT as 100% as he was last time, because he still needs to corroborate - and there are still some discussions going on re Falmer - but he reckons he can give us a couple of days notice at least.

What, ban me? I haven't been reading this board for the last 15 months so how the hell am I suppose to know it was posted then? I just read the threads that appear on the first page and think they've all been posted today, didn't bother too check what dates they were posted. shit, leave it out.
Ban me if you like. A seagull fan will not get his £50 if you do
