  I am not a trader and what are these "sub standard facillities" and what on earth is the campaign for castleford? you do talk cr&p! Do you YCFC fans not realise what great damage you are doing your own football club by your attitudes and attacks on honest shopkeepers and their staff, Many people read these posts without contributing and I know many people who are disgusted! YCFC fans are simply demanding that a stadium is provided for a private business at great financial cost and inconvenience to York taxpayers. I have been to YCFC games many times but I can tell you this, NEVER AGAIN!

  That "great financial cost" is actually being provided by private investment though. Don't try and make this something it isn't. Yes York council will be putting in, is it two million? If this doesn't go ahead York council are already committed to moving the athletics track at a cost of circa £1m, so the net cost of building this stadium is about a million.
  
  Also the York tax payer will benefit to the tune of around £3m per year in additional rates receipts. The "cost to the taxpayer" argument just doesn't stack up."
