Looks like it might be a happy ending for our neighbours.

Not too sure it’s a happy ending as such, 2.5 million of the taxpayers money to save the stadium and they still don’t own it outright. A playing budget that far exceeds the incomings means there’s still a long way to go for them. They need promotion this season otherwise it’s a dark few years in the depths of non league.

Looks like the deal was done as a way to get the enabling developments done.

All good and well now but not a long-term solution for them, but far better than their situation even a few weeks ago.

The speed with which the deal has been put together is impressive. The price looks about right for 150 older person social housing homes - it's an enabling deal to buy their own ground back, with Swann getting his money. I assume they will be losing most of the surrounding land. Now they have to cut their cloth to pay the debts and cover running costs.

Why can’t we get similar support and assistance from our council?

Still seeing  daftness from some of their fans

That Swann and Hilton are the big losers here , when in reality they have both got what they wanted .

Interesting special on Humberside yesterday - the main point I took note of is that their budget is 4 times higher than any other NLN club , they have big work to do reducing that unsustainable budget for sure .

I heard only last week that n e lincs council are in the Sh1t and financially struggling. How much of that is true I dont know but I’d think that the majority of councils up and down the land are probably struggling.

The council, as ever, are too late to the party and missed out on something. A multi use area with shopping, leisure and a football stadium although expensive could’ve done so much for the area. A real growth area that would’ve given the town a real feel good factor. The land would’ve had to be large enough to accommodate it but, if it was council owned land then that would be half the battle won.

Knowing our luck though, they’d have put all the plans forward for it and then rejected it all!!!
