Fred and council called their bluff repeatedly.

They did no such thing. Calling their bluff would have been saying "We're building a stadium at the west harbour, end of discussion, you are welcome to take part" That is NOT what happened. Fred left this open to debate. I voted for the guy, but this is on him.

A strong mayor would have said no to any debate after choosing the West Harbour, Fred didn't. It really is that simple. Fred dropped the ball and started this whole "discussion" which ended, yes under Bratina's watch, with this stadium choice, but the road to this choice was left open by Fred.

I hope Fred finally learned one of the golden rules of politics: try to keep everyone happy and you keep no one happy. That is certainly what happened here.
