Curtains Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Some fans saying they don’t want the City Council to help with the Stadium . I would love to know what these fans would suggest then as an alternative if MM won’t budge on Stadium price and bidders won’t increase bids to accommodate this .

B4ev6is Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Well not ideal derby city council owning pp but if means derby county can be saved then I guess it might be worth it in the long run. Ram1988 and Curtains 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4ev6is Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 And more agreeable on the rent of stadium than new owners or owner that can pay off over time and perhaps they might say if we buy pp then you can pay off tax of what tickets get sold percentage goes off and you get percentage to put back into pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I can't see the council buying the ground. What with the obscene amounts of money involved in football, it potentially looks a bit tone deaf to spend 8 figure sums helping out a football team at a time everyone has to tighten their belts. Plus every non-football fan will say it's a waste of taxpayers' money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as many have said Mel may sell for lesser amount to DCC than to a rival Kathcairns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really don't want to see us go back to the same situation as before, where a rich owner is willing to put some money in for an unspecified period of time, until he gets bored and pulls out. Kaboom, start the whole palaver again. Football has to pay its way without the need for oil sheiks and oligarchs. Otherwise what have we learned since administration?

Isn’t it more about what the football club means economically for the city and the businesses that rely on the football club for business etc etc? If the council bought the ground that’s essentially what they are trying to save in the long run.

Inverurie Ram Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Maybe the EFL (English Football League) or the FA (Football Association) could buy it and rent it out or better still make a bit of money on it and put the money back into grass roots football or the Derbyshire Community to promote the beautiful game of football whilst protecting, saving, one of its founder members.............. Sorry, I'm really sorry, I do apologise, I've not had a bang on the head, or been drinking all weekend, or been dreaming again...........but does anyone remember the good old days when people cared about other people?........no I thought not! These folk don't even know where Derby, Derbyshire, East Midlands are, somewhere in Iraq probably! Carry on Regardless everyone, and remember kids these governing bodies are Good as Gold, Stupid as Mud. Ken Tram and Curtains 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
