We could threaten to "emigrate" and set up on continental Europe, that would secure £millions in government grants

Who will fund the redevelopment? Yorkcourt?WMDC? The club? IT will take millions to get up to spec

So after 15 years and countless explanations on here and in the media you still can't work it out.Well I'm not going to tell you - I personally don't know IF it will happen but I do have enough nous to work out HOW.

I would say if a bookie was laying bets on funding re development the odds would look something like this.


No one will fund it 1/100 fav


yorkcourt 100/1

WMDC 1000/1


The club 1000000000/1



My bet would be if I could lay one.

The club to get back the ground by way of a loan guarantee from the council plus a little bit of financial input as well.


Once the pig in a poke that is Belle Vue is in the hands of the club all goodwill disappears and we are left with a massive headache of how to make the place acceptable.


I know this is highly pessimistic and I would love to be wrong. But history should tell us the eventual outcome of any deal that relies on Box and yorkcourt

Similar to how I see it. Wary, as I’m sure michael and the trust are of the timing and the detail behind. What impact would it have on Yorkcourts supposed commitments etc. Belle Vue with no finances to develop will leave us in as bad a position as we are today

Re: STADUIM NEWS UPDATE : Mon Feb 11, 2019 5:59 pm  

No statement from the club so, once again, all speculation.
