MattK 3,447 Posted March 1, 2014 THE money is assured and in place. It would never have got this far through all the hoops set by the City authorities without being sure of that. Are you sure? This implies that further approvals are required before the full funding is agreed: In terms of bringing forward a comprehensive programme of works to deliver all of the proposals there are a number of factors influencing and shaping that ambition. Further design work is required to develop the Speedway Stadium, the National Basketball Centre and the playing fields and it is not possible to agree a detailed and final funding package for all of the proposals. It is therefore proposed that the fee costs to develop these schemes are approved at this stage, with detailed investment cases based on developed designs and including detailed costing / funding proposals being the subject of further approvals from the Executive as and when they are available. The fee costs up to contract stage are estimated to be £0.49m. Taken from the Manchester City Council Report for Resolution presented to the Executive Committee on 10 April 2013, with my emphasis.

Humphrey Appleby 13,961 Posted March 2, 2014 Do you get the feeling Mr R that some folk think everything's your fault This is another prime story of wider interest to the sport that could be examined, but it would seem that we have to wait for regurgitated official announcements.

Humphrey Appleby 13,961 Posted March 2, 2014 random bloke or journalist with inside knowledge, mmmm..... What's the point of having inside knowledge if you can't tell anyone anything until an official announcement is made? Journalism used to be about finding stories and breaking the news first.
