IN a television news report mention was made of Northampton Rugby Club raising £1,500,000.

A large proportion of this was apparently as a result of the club selling shares to the supporters who were sufficiently enthusiastic as to "put their money where their mouth is".

If a similar scheme was to be proposed here, perhaps Worcester City Football Club could have its stadium. And there would be a much reduced adverse effect on local residents if the council decided not to contravene the Local Plan and allow B&Q to become involved with this venture.
