Financial results

Just seen on Twitter we made a loss of £36k last year. Some of the spending has been on improving the stadium, focusing on heating and disabled access.

Says Peaks Parkway isnt going ahead because of the lack of political will? Nothing to do with not having the finance then?

Does anybody know where the actual accounts can be downloaded from? The club would normally have a link on the article? But they haven't so far.

I'd love to hear what the council have to say in response.

I'd imagine the lack of political will referred to is the lack of willingness to let those packets of land around town to be sold off for a song to housing developers in return for financing of the proposed stadium. The figures always seemed a bit iffy, truth be told.

If the East Marsh proposal is now going to be the way forward, I'd hope that facilities for use by the wider community will also be included in the final plan.

Classic GTFC statement.

Claiming there’s “no political will” for Peaks Parkway sums up the brains in that boardroom. The council is a broad reflection of the community it is elected to represent - stating that there is no political will, and by extension local public will, for a supposed Community Stadium sums up just how bad a job the club have done in convincing anyone it’s a good idea. In trying to deflect blame onto the council, they’ve shone a light on their own failings.

What they really mean is that there’s no will from external funders to finance a duff project and Extreme have been found out, big time. This is another attempt by the universally unpopular Cllr Fenty to use the club as as leverage in his own axe-grinding campaign against those he shares a council chamber with.

Because the council there is well known for being progressive and forward thinking?

I'd say the council is far more afraid of the nimbys and the consequences of upsetting a few than doing what is unpopular to a few but benefits the town as a whole. The lack of progress over there since I moved away is stark compared to other places in the country.

It reads to me like if the club doesnt get its own way by getting Peaks parkway they are throwing the toys out of the pram and half heartedly refurbing parts of Blundel park. Obviously Fenty does not want the move to Freemo even though it makes sense.

Of course he doesn't. Wouldn't be in his complete control.
