Barcelona and real Madrid carry massive debts

Theyre probably not on their own there Cosmicat, to be fair.

Given the money on transfers, that get dishhed around in football, I bet there are more that carry debt.

All one can hope is the apparent support we seem to be getting is dependent upon any objections and judicial review threats against this development from a Trinity point of view are retracted. We've fallen for that once.


Absolutely right, the trust and fans/citizens should be objecting to any planning application for Newmarket development, until they provide funding for the community Stadium. Remember the promise of artificial pitches training ground, community sports facilities etc. Recently, the speculation on this forum is the Council will provide funding as a loan which the trustees will pay the interest. The concern for me is, the loan will not be sufficient to do a complete new build or full redevelopment of. Belle Vue. If such funding was offered, then where would the rest of funding come from, a Piecemeal build would surely end in tears.
We all need to keep pressure on the Council planning process and the Newmarket site developers.

I posted this on Feb 12, and after reading today’s league Express, it seems that a piecemeal redevelopment will happen. To quote John Minards, “We’ve seen with Leeds that there is a way,and doing it bit by bit is probably the best way,because that’s probably how the funding will come in.”
I have come to trust the management of Trinity over the past four years, and I know they will do what’s best for the club and supporters. However, I’m sure many of us will remember what happened at Halifax when they moved to the Shay. They/Council ran out of funds, and for a few years the long Stand down the touch line remained partially built. I’m sure (fingers crossed) those at Trinity will not let anything like this happen.

whilst it is great we own the ground again! Great job all concerned.,

Is it me or are we just back where we were 20 years ago searching for investors to be able to build up the ground???

who has the money to do this in the Wakefield area?And want benefit would they get out if it?

I know one high profile businessman in Wakefield area who could well afford it BOJO, but wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

Valentines fair at LUFC on a yearly basis.

Anyone see Rodders on Look North last night defending his old mate Sir Gary Verity. It's a good job, no one else was defending him after quitting the Tour de Yorkshire over allegations of bullying and "errors of judgement" over expenses.

I thought it was a circus due to all the clowns that go there

According to Sun Sport facebook page, with an interview with John Minards, the plan could be to re vamp the stadium, and make the capacity anything up to 15,000.

Though it is The Sun!

What's mc and jm thinking, concerts,football, cc semi-final?

I would hope so.
