Quote: Billinge_Lump "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.'"
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.
