I thought the new Cas ground was being built using money from an S106 agreement? If so, it is technically public money as the council can decide where/on what that money (coming from the developer)is spent, whether that be new cycle ways, parks, pedestrian bridges, social housing, community sports facilities or even (as Salford has recently done) to upgrade existing and open MORE public libraries.

I had always believed they were meant to be for the benefit of the community, so never actually understood how Cas (as a private business) are going to end up as sole owners of their new stadium.

And why would the club arrange to put a business plan together for the 31st October knowing the Chairman would be on holiday and not in a particularly good position to address any problems/developments?

I think you will find the trust submitted heads of terms (proposed) then the press release came from the council.

And that was over a week ago

schhhhhomzallllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!

rlThisrl, on the subject of the enforceability of a s106 agreement, is interesting reading, if you can be ar5ed.
