A couple of interesting articles about Rotherham Titans RUFC and their planned move if they gained promotion.. Rotherham Titans RUFC currently play at 2,500 capacity Clifton Lane Ground. They were denied entry into the Premiership in 2002 due to inadequate stadium requirements despite winning the second tier competition. They are still in the second tier but last year, on the verge of promotion again, looked at Rotherham’s New York Stadium and even the old unused football ground at Millmoor. The football club didn’t want RU played on their pitch and the owners of Millmoor wanted too much rent. They eventually agreed terms with Barnsley FC to use Oakwell should they gain promotion the agreed rental cost is £250,000 for 14 games per season. Barnsley FC also wanted their tenants to drop Rotherham from their name. http://www.barnsley-chronicle.co.uk/spo ... f-promoted http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/other-sp ... -1-6437514

With the inability of our council to apply a 106 agreement for the community stadium how long do we hang on and wait for Newmarket? When's the cut of point, when do we look at different options and partners or is this all ongoing?

Are we any nearer having an up-date meeting?

On the whole I think the majority of posters are mildly pleased with the positive signings made by the club.

Then you had to go & mention the elephant in the room .

Those in the know must be enjoying a brief respite from the burning questions.

Also the process has returned to the normal with the staying/leaving BV scenario now very much sorted. It's obviously still a hot potato but it's no longer radio active. I'm sure we\ll hear more in the new year but it's still a long road IMHO.

All this is big money stuff filled with danger and attracting every kind of shark and low life. People need to wise up when they moan about not getting info - we are not talking monopoly money here it's big bucks and big risks.

There is no 106 agreement in place according to today's council meeting & council awaiting update from club and developer? Thought it would be the stadium trust and developer
