The scheme Hull City Council have approved is categorically not being funded by the City of Hull’s tax payers money or from structural budget reductions the Council are finding themselves having to impose.
The monies being used originate from central government set aside to promote regional economic development. All of the money is subject to a pay-back scheme. The pot the money goes back into is then available for other such projects, many of which are operational up and down the country and are integral to the continuance of urban regeneration. The monies in this pot cannot and will not be used to support public services.

Like Leigh, Widnes, Toulouse, Barrow or Fax?

Bit of strength in depth in the championship.

www.worldstadia.com/gallery/Engl ... 1ce6461319 So what will the stadium look like after all the works done? This picture pretty much shows me the ground the last time we (Leigh) were there, but I know that the East Stand was supposed to be getting done up.

hills have no atmosphere. period.
australian games have little atmosphere. period.

has your little mate gijou/old darlin/whoever next been banned?

Thanks for clarification. The article was silent about any pay-back.

Out of interest, do you have any more info on this central government "pot", in particular to help indicate if such "pots" may be available eleswhere. Round these parts you get the impression just about everything goes to Leeds.

What's that saying again Adey, no point throwing good money after bad?

Maybe that was Yorkshire Forward's approach to regenerating Bradford

Salfords stadium gets underway end of this month, buckingham group have the contract, some pics on the salford forum of how the site looks at the moment, so thats another SL club ticked off the list for better stadia.

Wierd !

Have I just gone through a ' time warp ' or something . are we back in 2006

An hour and 44 minutes, you do disappoint me.

The east stand has already been extended at the north end (left on pic) and is about to be extended to the south end ready for start of 2011 season, so it runs full length of pitch. New north stand for 2012 and the temporary stand currently at the north end to be moved to the south end.

Lighten up Iain , it is finally happening , and I am happy for the salford fans , but most of all I am happy for John , if ever a Chairman deserves this it his him , he is one of the nicest blokes you can meet

I will look forward to visiting it when it is built
