Now that Bradford council have again urinated violently on the dreams of every Bulls fan and seemingly doomed us to abandon Odsal for good,
www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... s_village/
how have other club with new or projected stadiums funded them?
Hull – Proceeds of private telecoms sale
Huddersfield – Forward thinking council (perish the thought)
Wigan – Millionaire Whelan
Warrington – dunno
Leigh – Wigan MBC funded?
Wakefield – self funded?
Castleford – self funded?
St Helens – self funded? |

Warrington's stadium was funded by Tesco for £12 Million.
Tesco had tried to get a store in the town for years but always got turned down for the store being on it's own.
Our old stadium Wilderspool is still standing and is owned by the council, who bought it at some point to help the club financially when we were struggling.

Saints is being funded in partnership with Tesco, according to their website www.sthelensstadium.com/pages/vision.htm. Cas's stadium will be the only one in Super League that is self-funded and without the aid of a major benefactor. |

Well all the objectors seem to be from close to the stadium site, the people who want it from not so close. The website/leaflet campaign they've just started etc. If the locals make enough fuss you might have a long wait on your hands. Another question

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

It's a shame more council's are not willing to get on board.
LSV has been a massive hit around here!
New stadiums for clubs like wakey and cas would transform the clubs like it has done for wire.

The Newmarket Community Stadium funding derives from a variety of sources. Sale of Belle Vue, grants from the usual suspects, capital raised by a loan of land by Wakefield council and private finance by the developer YorkCourt who are meeting the shortfall.

Forgot about that bit for both Cas & Wakey.
Also there's Surfworld for Cas the money they're putting in adds up to more then what their facility costs so the remaining money at a guess will go towards the stand they will be attached to. |

I'm pleased that you've put that as your's and Fully's suggestions that your stadium will be 'self-funded' are delusional!
Both the Wakey and Cas schemes are being put together with input from several sources, including their own capital input from existing resources, grant funding, planning gain etc, but not direct funding from the council. They do however both rely on Council support, including the loans against land provided by the Council.

Ahem. For clarification purposes I meant without the aid of a major benefactor - i.e. one source putting in money. And by self-funding I meant through various income streams such as the sale of the ground, the loan against the land (which is technically in Cas' ownership, is it not?), sponsorships etc, which will all go to Cas as a club.

Bradford gave us Hockney, Leeds gave us Moyles.:731.jpg |

Tesco would have built a brand new stadium at Odsal, but Caddick objected and Byers called the project in. The same Byers chap who has been in the papers of late.
