I can't be totally certain what rate of interest - if any - as I've not seen a document which specifies the rate.

There is no good reason whatsoever we need to go and plan in that damned Arena, beyond, and I will accept, if it was the difference between promotion to the Football League, years down the line (and that involves a hearty assumption that the Arena would be in any fit state years down the line).

There is a small 6 month window every year in which the Council cares about certain types of schemes.

Re: Darlington V Southport match thread

Dropping £14 to £10 is a drop of 28%. 1100 to 1400 is an increase of 27%. I'm using a figure of 1100 paying £14 versus 1400 paying £10. Just a rough approximate, but you are correct, if we only have 500 pay on the day supporters then I can see it would work as a small increase. But 600 (say) of tho...
