Er, they didnt pay for all of it.
Contributed £5m of the total cost of £40m.

First of all, I`m not sure that`s accurate, secondly how much have we as a club contributed to any sort of development of our stadium? 50k? Jesus, Leeds have done a stellar job at the development, and have bit the bullet on the loss, even if it is 5 mil, that's still huge sum for a RL club, I get that they have had support from various parties but your comment just screams people in glass houses and all that.

Didn’t MC in a recent Q&A session, say that the new floodlights cost £400,000, plus the refurbishment of the Cars bar new roof which he says he was surprised how high the costs were for that. I’ve no idea where the funding came to pay for those improvements, but I’m sure MC & JM, will have everything under control.

Of all the things that go on at the club, on and off the field, Carter's ability to run the club financially is the one thing I have confidence.
In all honesty, when other clubs look to take our prized assets like Tom or Reece, they'd actually be better off trying to tempt MC. He's the most valuable thing we've got.
I don't know him personally. Just how I see it from a supporter of a club that's been on the brink too many times before.

Can you point me to the bit where it refers to Leeds paying 5 million? Also PT i`m sure probably wasn`t talking about the cricket stadium as well which you have included in your 40 million figure?

For someone who claims to be employed by the club you seem to have huge gaps in your knowledge, both on off and on field issues.
Think it’s best you drop that pretence now.

Lol. Once again, I have never in my life claimed to work for the club, let me tell you now I do not nor have I ever before worked for the club, i hope that clarifies things for you but my guess is you are on the wind up again as someone has said something you don't like vastcap, don't like it when shoes on other foot do you?

Hit a nerve have I, vastcap is always a give away.
I can’t be bothered to trawl back but when the Miller is leaving rumour started you indicated you had inside info and the impression I got was that you worked for the club.
Must be me.

| Anywayyyyy…
Think it’s class that we’ve recorded such a tidy profit and not scraped by or even worse, made a loss. Credit to the guys in charge.

Leeds put in the £5m of cash that they'd built up over the past decade or so of profits.
The balance was arranged via Legal & General and effectively Leeds Council have guaranteed it which reduces the interest charges. The structure however is very involved - but Leeds couldn't care less whether the debt shows on their Balance Sheet, it's more sensitive for Yorkshire though and it facilitated the council's involvement.
In summary, Leeds and Yorkshire have rented the ground that the new stand is built on to Legal & General, who have paid for the construction which is then leased to Leeds council who then sublet it to the two clubs. The clubs then have a provision to buy for £1 at the end of the deal. Ultimately the clubs end up paying but this arrangement made it more flexible and more affordable.
Whether it would have happened without council involvement I don't know, probably as YCCC needed it to happen. But any club which doesn't have the support of their local authority (as Cas and Wakey seem to have done on and off over the past few years) will always find it hard not just in financial support but in smoothing through all the planning issues.

Yep, good to get that info from the Ghost.
Does say that in a very longwinded way in those articles I referenced.

Yes they did, but Carter has said that all deferred wages have now been paid in full.

It was in one of the last online fans forum, if I remember that rightly. Not much was made of it really - seemed very matter of fact.
Of course, I could have misunderstood/misheard, but I'm sure that was said.

Fair play to Carter and Minards if they’ve managed to pay them all in full. I think the sport’s in for a tough few years but that gives us a decent start.

It will be on Trinity TV but frankly I’m happy to just believe you as I can’t see any reason why you’d make it up.
