Just been stopped in town, and asked my opinion on why the Town needs a Community Stadium. Apparently they have heard of ownership problems over the land, and the project is been further delayed. 

They won't be here on a whim, so sounds like further bad news could be on the way!!!!!

Dear H.W., you well know my thoughts on the stadium but when you say "..you were stopped in town...." who exactly stopped you was it a survey or something, or was it just s friend who stopped you with a bit of crack?

The new stadium is crap. Half the amount could be spent on the rec and it would be miles better

Would you invest in a stadium for a team that looks very like to be playing 'development area' sides in front of 2-300 people at best?

 Sorry to be pedantic but if the crap stadium was gonna be " the only good thing thing" how can the Town be great?
  Please elaborate as at the moment I feel the town centre in particular is far from great.

The miners should be ashamed of themselves the way they have behaved over this,let's face it with out haven RL or this staduim they would be left with a rather large white elephant that no one wants.First they would not sign a long term lease only wanting 5 years so haven did,then with the staduim on the cards they wanted guarantees for a long term lease for the access road which the RFL did.Then they kept coming back wanting new change rooms built,New fencing put up,New drainge all at no cost to them and they were getting it,now the week they are due to sign they drop the bombshell "before we sign we want 750k as well".Well forget the staduim and if I were haven I would walk away look for a new ground and leave the miners thinking what they could have had.Who else is going to use the ground if we don't no one.No doubt our resident expert on these matters will be on saying how they have to get the best for miners etc etc.Maybe so but with it all falling through all they will have got is the remaining 3 years on havens 5 year lease,no long term lease for.access road,no new changerooms,drainage or fences etc.Well done you greedy idiots

Funny that, becuase when the reds were trying to get the best for the reds we got called Luddites and worse.
