Quote: MashPotatoes "Wouldn't there be any room to manoeuvre at all on the terms ? Or has it been agreed that it's these terms or nothing ?
I haven't a clue about the finances but if it was a middle ground and it didn't cripple the club, wouldn't it be sensible to agree if it meant getting this damn thing built ?'"
Not in my opinion. See daddycool's post above.
We all knew what the original deal was when consent was granted but we are talking of changing the deal because it would appear that someone can smell a bit of money.
Castleford had got a great deal where they get freehold title of a £13m stadium for £1 and can run that stadium for the benefit of the Club provided that they make the stadium available for community use. The perfect deal that Peter Box described in the Council Chamber that he said he would negotiate for the Club.
All we want is a similar deal which is what were were supposed to get with the original Section 106 Agreement but we don't wish to go over old ground. The new S106 Agreement is supposed to put right those wrongs.
