Quote: Prince Buster "It dosn't seem to sink in with some people. The £400K is the cost of the work just to repair and up date the North Stand Terrace. Then you have the rest of the infrastructure around the place. Such as floodlghts,tuurnstiles,toilets,PA system, security systems. That's even before you then look at the really big expenses like the East stand and the west side.
The other relevant point to the Daddycool post is that I believe the club even considered buying back the ground but were told not to do so as it would keep the price low for Yorcourt to purchase it instead. Who told the club this, well it was our local council. Yorkcourt then once again did nothing and the rest is history.
I will also add my own two pence in here, the present owners of the ground did not get where the are by being charities or philanthropists, they have one mission in life and that is to make money. So for all you dreamers out there, forget it, we won't see a penny spent from them on any refurbishment.'"
This is the really maddening bit, Yorkcourt promised to buy the ground and then didn't - Why is that?? Between Yorkcourt and WMDC there is some explaining that needs to be done.
They've both had so many chances to do the right thing and failed - how much longer before we expose them for what they are? Surely we can't hold back in fear of upsetting them, its not like it will halt any progress is it?
