Just been reading about the legal requirements of building a new football ground . It's not as straight forward as mr fisher makes out . The planning permission must not only be agreed by the relevant council but also more importantly by the government.They must also prove that they will be involved in a regeneration project in the area. This could involve housing development or involvement in community work.If it was granted then the area would expect some investment back.the money for building a new ground is usually gained from loans.Tottenhams application for a new ground was turned down as it was not beneficial to the area.so what chance has a company that is 70 million pound in debt got of getting government.approval for a new ground.cant see them agreeing to having two grounds so close to each other.
