Why should a football club get help from the taxpayers what have the diamonds ever got from the taxpayers? K*ttering should stand on their own two feet or go to the wall.

Because football clubs bring communities together and, in K*ttering's case, probably bring trade to the town centre's pubs etc.

Does it say they wanted money from the council?
a more supportive Council would have ensured the opportunity to build a new stadium
Or is it just you jumping to conclusions as usual?

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.

If they don't then why don't they stand on their own two feet and submit plans for a new stadium, have they submitted plans or are they relying on the council/taxpayer to do something? Do you really take Ladacks word? Oh! yes you seem to don't you? :lol:

But currently K*ttering Town FC is privately owned. The silent majority of taxpayers have no interest in it and it also has an associated cost of policing the streets. The council cannot be seen to be favouring one privately owned business over any others.
