Has there been any official response from the council? If not can we get a list of questions or concerns together that we can put forward.

Have I got this right?

The loan approach seem to be the only way to raise the money for the 15th. The loan is basically people buying their season tickets in advance for many years to come, as I am not sure how else they will get their money back. So basically we are spending next years money - and the following years, now. So this...
