The local authority have borrowed money. They are not a revenue generating organisation. If they have to repay the loan themselves it will come from funds intended to provide services to the public.

The rate payer is on hook for a £14m loan. How deluded can you be? Until the rate payer's loan is fully repaid they are in a loss making position.

Of course a cup semi final is a good example of what an average attendance could look like.

Perhaps. I'm asking a straight question. What sort of benefits. Tangible ones directly related to Wasps moving here. Ones that might deliver thousands of new jobs as has been conflated by Ann Lucas.

Osb's post is interesting. Has the option transferred to Otium?

Well as effectively the debt is the council's debt I think all the council want is it settled so they can repay prudential borrowing.

Could have been CCFC who uprooted 84 miles to a better stadium. Do you want them with you in Luton, Armchair John?

Is that what has held up CCFC Ltd's liquidation? Hmmmm
