There’s a game to play first though. 1 minute ago, Chris Taylor said: Not a dig at your word. Just a generalisation that a team had to be approved.

Lets see how much is used to better stadia or develop players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookey Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Pleased but handled appaulingly by Elstone. Dont think clubs with large debts/deficits should receive additional money.Clubs with sub standard grounds should have to use any additional money to pay for ground improvements.
