Ring the valley in soap dispensers to keep the Nigle's at bay!
Pouring boiling oil from the tv gantries, establishing a killing field outside the club shop, and building pits of ordeure (I think there called) in the dug outs.
Manchester United and Liverpool supporters trusts are also looking to have their stadiums designated in the same way.
Of course the designation doesn't stop a sale of the ground but it might make owners think twice about pulling a fast one and gives us the opportunity to at least make our voice heard in the situation.
Under the Localism Act, voluntary and community organisations can nominate an asset to be included on a list of 'assets of community value'.
Only a voluntary or community body with a local connection can nominate land or buildings in Royal Greenwich to the list of assets of community value. A building or piece of land is deemed to have community value if its main purpose is to further the social well-being or social interest, including cultural, recreational or sporting interests of the local community.
It would need to be the Trust or a Supporters Group that actually applied though.
I would hope that the new accord between the Club and the Trust would negate the need for this, but I can't see that it would cause any issues.
There was an article in Trust News 2 on this subject (we got in contact with Clive Efford who is actually one of the biggest advocates for this in the Hiuses of Parliament).
