Unbelievable, try building a new stadium with no sky money not the 13 million or so super league teams have had, the thing is some championship teams HAVE managed it
Sky money is pretty irrelevent to building a stadium, even if a team who had been in sl since day one had saved every penny of sky money they would still be hard pressed to afford a sl standard stadium with it. Whats more sky money is the primary means most clubs use to fund there squad so clubs have to spend most of it on players, otherwise (until last year) you got relegated and therefore lost access to said sky money. As for the teams in the nls that have built new stadia they should be applauded, but how many of them did it without local council funds? leigh didnt, widnes didnt, fax have had there stadia finished off by the council etc if wakey council were as helpfully as the council in these places then both us and wakey would probabley already be in shiny new stadia.
