Very much agree with this, our first Wembley final has come at a very good time. It will take a brave council to be seen as anything other than supportive the week after the final.
Not only that £3 million quid is a lot better than nothing, I would like to see the council agree but put some sort of timescale on work starting.
It could work a number of ways:
The council might feel that they can't **** all over the feel good factor of Wembley.
Potential retailers might wet themselves thinking about 20-odd thousand people into Fossetts Farm every other Saturday during the winter.
The council might decide it can't allow SUFC a new stadium that holds 22,000 people because Wembley may prove we could actually fill it. The last thing the council want is 20-odd thousand people in a footy stadium on a Saturday afternoon when they could be in the town centre spending money.
(In case anyone hasn't worked it out, the last one is tongue in cheek.)
