In Northampton's case the Council was much more accommodating, they handed over £10M quid no questions asked.
Kit Kat crescent deal was only for a couple of years, so we are still in the same ground it's just back to being called Bootham Crescent. It's pretty grim though, away fans were pissing on sandbags against a a wall until about 1995.
The 'peppercorn' Rent should be proportionate to give some ROI to the tax payers. If WHU generate £750k - £1M per home game it leaves them with almost £20m profit from the deal every year. That's a hardly a level playing field for other clubs who pay their own way.
