To answer my own question Milne quoted in an updated BBC release saying "It's now clear from planning and legal experts that the objectors cannot stop these plans.
"At best, they could hold them up for a matter of months, but ultimately our plans will go ahead."
I thought that was an answer to the question about the length of delays that fans, based in the city that gives the club its name, might face on these pie-in-the-sky ‘shuttle buses’.
