Of course critics could argue City were given a “free stadium” (their phrase, not mine) and the council raided their savings to contribute to it too - the difference being it was an investment from Manchester City council - the money invested has been repaid and will continue to be added to each year, indeed every time there is an event on at the ground City are giving back to residents. Manchester residents and the town hall have benefited from this investment and will continue to as long as the Blues play there.
On the other hand there has been absolutely no benefit to residents from council tax payers money given to this alleged / so called community club. From day one it’s just been take, take, take. The only “community group” to benefit have been themselves.
Agree, time to pull the plug but what do they do with the White Elephant that was forced onto the people of Moston??For a so-called fans-run club they don't half-like other people money to run it
Look at the beginning when they played at Gig Lane and got between 5 to 7 thousand you thought ok they can hold their own in the non-league, But it dropped off quickly and went 3 to 4 thousand and then plans for their own stadium you thought again ok they could cope,
But now it's down to 1000 and falling fast, But the free tickets boost the gate figures so it could be well under 1000 paying customers, It's clearly falling fast and will go pop IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE, the debtors will be calling in their debt and everything will be up for sale.
Yep
many lower non-league clubs would love the amount of money that was pumped into the club and they still getting away with it, The times up for me and if their own fans don't turn up anymore what is the point
