Because as the council have said, it would be easier to unite and build one stadium between the both of us - bigger capacity so doesn't need to be expanded in the future and save £20m of taxpayers money in the process.

Why would it if neither club are using tax payers money other than the land as collateral with the money to be repaid in due course

I assumed that the money for all these grants comes from central Gov't somehow and is paid from taxes? Or have I missed the boat?

Not really taxpayers money - I don't know the proposed funding breakdown for newmarket, but suspect some will be lottery type money - some european (possibly) and the Developer is making up the shortfall (unknown quantity) so nowhere near GBP 20m

Well I know that the National Lottery Fund is funded by ticket sales - 28% of revenue plus all unclaimed prizes, according to Wikipedia.

Good question - if all these grants are in place and guaranteed for NM, but the choice of the feasability study is GH then surley they will just transfer over to GH as long as the "Community Facilities " go also.

simple solution:

as our tigger bretheren are so keen to play at glasshoughton with wakefield council backing, why not merge, play at glasshoughton and call ourselves wakefield trinity - after all, it's the wakefield council that's the deal breaker and main supporter of the proposal - seems fair to me
