Mentioned when i heard about the now famous cobbles issue - as of then (a couple of months ago) there was no funding secured.
That might well have changed and i dont know who they are speaking to but as of that staff meeting there was no funding. I know they are looking.
Plenty will probably call me all sorts and say im chatting **** but thats what i knew.
As for government or local coucil funding - i think they have jettisoned that idea and will be going for everything from the private sector, you would have thought naming rights and stand naming rights would go a long way to securing a deal.
