That's not really how grants work though...it will have to be proven to be spent on what it has been awarded for

That is not to say it can give benefits now though

Great news that the Heritage Lottery Fund is supporting a project such as this.
And at least we know that some of our weekly punt on the Lottery is going towards a good cause----
The project will provide learning opportunities for young people while researching the ‘Tattersfield Era’. A Project Manager will be recruited to deliver the project, which will involve interviews with former players and supporters, the collection of stories and memories, alongside artefacts and memorabilia. The research and materials will then be used to deliver a series of workshops in local schools, which will produce a touring exhibition around Doncaster to eventually be based at the club’s new ground Keepmoat Stadium.

Sounds like an interesting project.
