The semi organizwd opposition to the LHP being demonstrated by Kate Murray and her cronies basically boils down to them acting the role of a modern day Joan of Arc swinging their sword about as the defenders of Suburbia. As such the Queens site for a 'Queens' type of development does not provide much leverage because it is exactly what they want to have occur. However if their principal competition for location of the Islanders new home arena comes from another suburban county like Suffolk, if their loss of tax revenue becomes Suffolks gain...<br />Well then that cuts the legs of their arguement out from under them. Yes there would have to be some changes -the independent league baseball stadium might have to become a combined Soccor and Lacrosse Stadium that could serve as the home for both Professional and College Teams playing those sports with both Mens and Womens teams serving as principal tennants and a ready made fan base already existing in the nearby neighborhoods.<br />Also I would like to add an item to a previous thread you posted vis-a-vis things you would like to see at the refurbished and//or new home of our beloved Islanders - several acres of Solar panels up atop the buildings roof to make the project more green and provide LI with some much needed additional electricity generating capacity during that time of the year when it is most needed.Olivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932064306183774309.post-44686577242088001022009-04-26T10:41:00.000-04:002009-04-26T10:41:00.000-04:00In Larry Brook's NY Post article this morning he s...In Larry Brook's NY Post article this morning he stated that there is actually a memo from September of 2008 that states there should be no contact with fans <br /><br /><br />Hmmmmmmmm<br />very interestingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932064306183774309.post-30712022830968163922009-04-26T10:18:00.000-04:002009-04-26T10:18:00.000-04:00Oliver: I agree, the Town of Islip site would wor...Oliver: I agree, the Town of Islip site would work well and I'm sure that the surrounding area would welcome the Lighthouse project. Sadly, Charles Wang is a Nassau County kinda guy and I think it will be a hard sell to budge him. But it is certainly a better alternative to keep the Islanders ON Long Island.

Now where is the Youtube video for that moment of pure hilarity? Hopefully we will soon have our Lighthouse project underway and then we can offer the NHL an alternative source of 'better than average' NHL TV ratings and perhaps we can then see appropriate levels of discipline enacted upon those players (Avery) and other personnel deserving of it. While many raise the possibility of Queens as a possible alternative to the projects location I would like to add the former Pilgrim State site to the dialogue should the TOH's intransigence continue - with some infrastructure upgades you have access to the Sagtikos, the LIE and the LIRR along with a large parcel of property that needs to be developed because if TOH is uninterested in the Tax revenues that the Lighthouse will interject into their budget...Olivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932064306183774309.post-88822414322914198752009-04-26T09:48:00.000-04:002009-04-26T09:48:00.000-04:00"Who does he think he is?
