I’M still trying to get my head round the ground move debate.
It was reassuring to catch up with the lads I go to the match with on Tuesday, and hear many of them are the same.
But while I’m struggling to make my mind up, I am aware that Wyness’s ‘No Plan B’ line stinks.
I’m just not having that.
No business, small or large, should ever operate on the basis that they have no so-called plan B.
So, while the ballot papers start to drop I’ll still be soul-searching.
And that means I’ll be at St George’s Hall tomorrow (Friday) to hear what the lads from KEIOC have to say.
A lot of mud has been thrown at KEIOC and aspersions cast on some of their tactics.
But Alfie Hinks and Dave Kelly are good blues who are investing an awful lot of time in this and like Bill Kenwright they only have their club’s best interests at heart.
I’m intrigued and impressed by the plans for a redeveloped Goodison which we are revealing on page 9 of tonight’s Echo.
Dave and Alfie have got come up with some professional images drawn by a top architect.
Who knows if this could actually work? Dave and Co say yes. Bill and Keith say no, and remind us that we haven’t really got the money to build a new turnstile, let alone ground, without Tesco’s cash.
But when I finally make my mind up I want to know that I’ve made an informed choice.
So I’ll be there tomorrow and I think every blue, pro or anti Kirkby, should be there too.
* The presentation at St George's Hall is from 10am to 5pm.
PS - Can’t shake suspicions over Bestway’s motives. Who had heard of them before Warren Bradley’s comments? They will be loving this publicity which has erupted without them saying or doing much at all.
I also worry they could never be a genuine retail partner like Tesco.

Bestway are a £1.7b a year turnover global business with operations as diverse as Cement manufacturing and banking in Asia. I'm sure it is not all just for some publicity for their cash and carry!
Tesco also aren't doing anything more with us than they have with any of the other football teams or rugby league teams (e.g. Warrington Wolves). Just build a ground as cheaply as possible to get planning permission for a retail site. No more, no less.
