Marching On:



Quote: Steinlager "Clearly that is the case (weddings etc). But we have a product to sell, and that is rugby league. We can use all those facilities during games like the one and Friday and make a lot of money in the process.

Although we would like those facilities the compromise that's met is on the rent. Your situation is unique in this day of age. That's what worries me. Although its enviable to have that potential to make money, it looks like you'll have to make sure you do to make it viable.'"



That goes without saying and is the same for any business, sporting or not. In fact its the same for you, only more so, you need the bums on seats and sale of club merchandise as its your only source of income, where as Saints will have gate receipts, merchandise, AND the income that the stadium itself can generate such as already mentioned function rooms & bars, plus semi finals, international matches, and the biggy the naming rights to the stadium.

The money for the stadium is there already, from the sale of KR, the Council and grants from the NWDA, (money from the Council and the NWDA is NOT a loan but grants, this does not have to be paid back and does not give either body any ownership or rights to the stadium)

Quote: giwildgo "Thanks, but I don't really need an education in Tesco's approach to enabling development, I've seen it first hand on a number of occasions, including involvement with the HJ Stadium. The only point of dispute with the original poster was the insinuation that Tesco paid for the stadium in its entirity and gifted it to Warrington for which I have seen absolutely no evidence. Yes, there was some commercial investment from Tesco (particularly in the shared infrastructure) because the stadium being part of the development sweetened the deal from a planning perspective. But there were also a number of other investment sources underpinning the development much like Saints have had to put in place, including the Council receipts for the Wilderspool sale (a poor investment decision for the local taxpayer in hindsight). Warrington just found it easier to secure the total funding for a lower value of development in an economic climate that was a lot more favourable at the time.'"


Didn't they offer to finance the build the structure for the proposed Everton stadium in Kirkby, but the club was to pay for fixtures and fittings? I thought that was the deal with the HJ, but I accept that I may be way off the mark.

IIRC, in regard to the Saints stadium the only contribution they would make to the stadium is if some of the funding fell through as the store cannot be built without the stadium being finished.

This is what we were led to believe that Tesco paid for the Stadium but Warrington then had to pay for all fixtures and fittings.

yes they did, its how they get planning, they did pay as I was one of the managers that opened the store, its pretty common knowledge. Councils always hold them to ransoms to get things built, improved and extended to gain planning.

Have they sold wilderspool as I thought they still trained there?
