seems the board is agianst the idea laso, which is good.
from Rick Parry's AGM speech last night:
"I told you last year that the ground share debate had been raised by the North West Development Agency. I explained that the project needs a substantial amount of public funding, not simply for the stadium, but for the refurbishment of Stanley Park, the cemetery and the surrounding environment. We submitted an application for funding of the Agency, along with the City Council, a year ago and unfortunately the position has still not been resolved. The Agency has, through its Chairman, adopted the position that it would prefer to see a shared stadium.
We have rejected a number of proposals and repeatedly stated that the vast majority of our supporters are opposed to the idea. Now the Minister for Sport has become involved in an effort to resolve the position once and for all within an agreed timetable."
