Nobody said it was easy, just that it is possible to find ways of funding projects like this.  The issue though is not the future revenue, it's the upfront capital outlay - that's where the finance market has contracted, and probably where we are struggling.  It's not as easy to trot up to a bank and get it sorted anymore, and private investors are just as unlikely to free-up a big wedge of cash.

Oldham's was odd in that the Council appeared to be underwriting it, however it looks like that is a more recent effort and revised planning permission was being sought.

If the new Town End gets it's go ahead, I would really like to see a roof on Stratton Bank before the old Town End is demolished. A roof on The Bank along with some better facilities for it built just behind really would make an epic home end and would keep some atmosphere in the ground while The Town End is being redeveloped.
