What a lovely gesture from the government!

Dropped a bollock again has the Government….every other club outside the top clubs, their fans might be a tad pissed off with a government doing something like this.
Can’t the owners pay….?…not like they’re cash strapped.
I wouldn’t expect any government to pay.

My father always used to say “governments don’t have money, it’s our money”

Taxpayers money shouldn’t be going to this, especially not now.

That's the Welsh government for you. If HUFC was the only professional football club in the entire North of England I dare say we might get a hand out Maybe not even then

Can we have some money to replace the floodlight bulbs please.

It appears money attracts money.

Yet more proof that Rachel From Accounts was right.

We need to pay more tax for the upcoming black hole. Come on now - we have to pay......

The Syrian Government - lovely, upstanding folk
The Singaporean Government - they can't afford the green energy stuff that Milibean wants them to have.
Hamas
Hizballah
Anything remotely connected with Netanyahu and all those lovely chaps who must spend 24/7 reading a religious book
Assorted Palestinian students and their families
Wrexham FC Supporters Club - Jim Radcliffe will be next with the collection buck
Anyone from a foreign culture which promotes massive families
Printing of booklets requiring Trade Union membership
Translators to ensure that all our uninvited guests get their full human rights
Taxis for uninvited guests to access medical and other services
Zelinsky and his corrupt pals - happy to support them but unhappy with the percentage rake off
The Indian Government - bless, they struggle to support their space programme and pay for all that Russian oil
Angela Raynor
State pensions for folk who have decided to live abroad and to listen to their Gary Glitter vinyl in a warmer climate
Poolie27
Unacceptably high profits for out source businesses dealing with everything from prison accommodation to apprenticeship training - which gets me round to our defence spending...............OK, I'll get my coat....

Real issues?.They haven't got a clue....Do they spend their days following Farage around in a taxi??

Its definitely the day for a rant, i just had mine on the Hartlepool rail thread.
Can i add Teesside airport to the list.

You are so right Mr Blue - I feel my wallet being emptied at this very moment in the name of Teesport and RAF Middleton St George..................

It's an eye-watering sum of money,Snowy.I had to look at the figures twice.....At least the steel erectors will be busy and we'll see the odd wfc international in the future,eh.

Ah…the Welsh ‘government’ place with the population of Yorkshire pretending it’s a ‘country’ with a talent for……..what?
Why did the real Governments down the years humour them?

its all about making the ground somewhere for international football to be played away from just one venue miles away. Would have preferred the government to have done that with say villa park than spending money on the new wembley to keep international football a southern thing.
