Vale pay final bill to council.

[SuperValiant1876]

The council did the right thing. But if you were a parent with a disabled child whose restbite care had been cut you'd be pretty annoyed. The two aren't always intrinsically linked but people don't always see it like that

 

I would never let one of my own become a Stoke fan.

[For Us All]

They have sub-contracted him out to the BBC as a soccer pundit.......the BBC are paying 1/100th of his £7,000.00 per minute - although TP and Coatsey will deny that!

 

Is it true that he's helping out tonight on Sports Personality of the Year?

[Werrington]

Have a look around the area where the Britannia Stadium is built.

 

It was the catalyst for regeneration and Trentham Lakes has now got umpteen businesses and sports complexes around it meaning jobs for the local people so it was money well spent......it was also money from the EU and IT HAD to be spent on that site and it was regeneration of the Hem Heath site

 

The cash given to Vale will see the city council and local people getting absolutely nothing from it.

 

£1.5m is a hell of a lot of money to lose for a council about to make massive cuts.

 

Facts eh...i love em

[Twitters]

Port Vale keep a lot of businesses in Burslem afloat. Another fact for our resident wind up merchants.

But at the same time wasn't needed, there isn't a football stadium on lymedale is there ?

How much interest was paid by SCFC?

[elav trop 1876]

Burslem would of had a decent market had the council not stopped it, over 100k per year profit to the club..kind equals itself out over the lost revenue and other trades that would of fed of it...

 

Plus The council rather than having an eyesore of more waste land will now generate cash from port vale for the long term probably getting more back from rates and knock on effects from other business staying alive than the initial cost to them.

regeneration catalyst ? have you seen the ammount of waste ground that hasn't been developed yet and what about the regeneration of the old victoria ground , haven't heard of anyone being killed in the crush to redevelopethat either..

there is no link, each committee has it's own budget and funding cannot be transfered between committees, it's illegal under the local government acts.

That market was illegal and took money away from Burslem itself.

 

The local businesses were ecstatic when it was closed down as i took trade away from them.

 

Cant have it both ways

Why are you getting so invovled in this discussion? You should be happy at your flat pack stadium, watching overpaid fairies rolling about, surrounded by plastic fans watching hoofball. So, why are you here?
