Hot on the heels of the Council agreeing a further loan with the Saints for improvements to Franklins Gardens.....they now agree a grant to Sileby Rangers to improve Fernie Fields.
https://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/160k-grant-for-fernie-fields-improvements-approved-by-northampton-borough-council-1-8803724The standout comment in this report for me was made by Phil Larratt..... Councillor Larratt added: “The overall scheme is spending £500,000, and the site is still owned by NBC with 40 years still left on the lease. For me, we are investing in our own asset.”
Sixfields is owned by the Council and leased to NTFC.....if only they'd have taken this option before handing over the £10m plus to be squirrelled away through various shell companies......just think where we'd be now if the Council had cut out the middle men!
