As you obviously have no idea about how the funding for the project works let me explain. Trust me it is an area I have knowledge in.

It is a community stadium being partly built with grant funding and every penny of this funding had to be fully justified to be obtained. Every single extra seat built into the stadium has a cost, as such the capacity of the build has to be justified in projected usage. As the main tenants our needs hold a lot of weight. If the projections state an expected superleague average of 10k+ (which with our recent rises in attendance and other teams large followings would be the case) then grants for the full size stadium can be justified and are likely to be awarded.

Should estimates be based on championship attendances of 3k+ then grants for the full size stadium cannot be justified by the awarding bodies and will be turned down in favour of a smaller build that could in theory be extended at a later date.

The stadium company also have to submit a business plan to prove it can run it as a going concern and as anchor tenants we are central to that plan. Now all our applications have gone in with superleague income projections so we need that situation to remain the case until at the very least the grants are awarded and building commences otherwise we would have to re-apply and that would cause a whole world of problems. The education facilities and gym can still be built in a smaller capicity stadium providing their necessity can be proven .

So in short we could really do with being in superleague if we want the full size stdium straight away otherwise it would highly likely be a smaller project. These things are a complicated myriad of tall fences and pitfalls, hence why they take so long to come to fruition. But ultimately, like most things, it comes down to brass.

HTH.

So I take t you can't


For someone who begs for trust as "it is an area you have knowledge in" you have not shown me any confirmation.
Shame as your posts seem constructed well, just lacking in that crucial area of actual and factual detail

I'm not begging for anything, it's no skin off my nose if you want to keep your head buried in the sand. There are application forms online, waste your own time getting your confirmation if you wish, i've better things to do with my time than appease you. I'll not bother contributing to this forum again, its not worth the hassle.

Ha ha love a good argument.

Now we're talking! Who's next to follow in his shoes?

Don't be daft i like to read you're posts.

Be careful what you wish for Jinjer, we could end up with a “Nutjobesque” type forum where you must toe the party line or be castigated by rose tinted raving sticks.

So that's a no then


Bye and don't let the door and all that

So it will be a council ' Facility ' ?

Go on, tell us again how it will never work.

Never said it wont work, just how much extra work is needed to make it work

Fair to say the quality this forum has followed the path of the club in recent times and has headed down the swanny. Its a case of woe betide anyone who doesn't toe the party line and it's getting very tiresome.
