Ah, the mindless optimism card.
Excellent.
The truth is fatshaft, that whether you want to describe the general attitude on here as negative or "doom mongering" it looks far more realistic and in touch with the facts of the matter.
I suspect everyone who has posted wants this to happen as much as you but there really isn't much realistic chance of it happening at all in the next 5 years, probably more. The feasibility study was started at a time when I expect most wouldn't have expected the financial market to collapse too.
I don't see anyone being particularly negative as such, for once it just seems a reflection of the real state of play.
The feasibility study will amount to little more than a wish list were the finances in place. As it stands even if we sell the Pitt we'll still be in the grubber.
