They are also getting the £2million from the council if they ask for it. We should be putting our request in as well asap.

Sounds like Newmarket could be built after all...wonder what would happen if Yorkcourt (or whatever they are called now) went bust when the trigger point is hit?

Should be straight in for our £2million and make our proposed ground into a proper stadium and get the corners filled in.

A £ to a penny says you'll be getting the £2m if the developers can show they can deliver your project. The race is on, Newmarket I make odds on favourite to be first.

Given our groundworks are in place to start next month and we have funding, that's doubtful.

You don't have a penny yet. And you still have £2m to raise, which from reading the council comments suggests they expect you to raise something and they will supply part of that, not all of it.

Newmarket is never going to get built, new agreement or not.

sadly I have to agree sheriff and if it ever is built it won't ever be a community stadium in the true meaning.

If anyone's interested within the WMDC district, Mary Creagh has once again tweeted that Newmarket will be getting £2m from the council.

We and Castleford Tigers need to kick up a fuss about this injustice. And vote with our feet in the elections. We shouldn't back a Labour council who are throwing money towards one team in the district, who are contributing naff all themselves to the project.

Similarly, we shouldn't be throwing money about like this when people are losing their jobs. It has to be something which benefits all clubs - e.g. same money for all and extended for all. Or for none.

I'll be asking the question HT. If a handout of £2 million is good enough for Wakey then it would no doubt come in handy for both Cas Tigers and Fev Rovers.

I can't imagine in these days of cutting services and managing finances that Wakey are just gonna get £2M deposited in their account, won't be anywhere near as simple as that.

You're getting a £13M stadium for free, don't be greedy. :)

That's true. The Council would have negotiated that as part of the deal for planning permission for green belt at 5 towns
If they hadn't made the stadium part of the 106 the money could have been used for some other community benefits
I think the club got a very good deal

Agree totally. The councilo have already paid for their planning application and designs, something we had to stump up for ourselves. If they are shelling out another £2million to them then we should be all over it.

See my post up above. I'm really not convinced Wakey have got a better deal than we have

I always though the money from the council for Newmarket was for the community facilities (learning centre,4G pitches for hockey,football etc) around the ground. Is this wrong?

I don't think anyone knows, most people were shocked to hear from Box and now Creagh that £2M was available without asking! I'm pretty sceptical myself.
