Newton heath you likkle tinker.

Newton Heath? So you managed to buy their history and you said it couldn't be done.

Did you know public money was used to repair old Trafford after the war, not the clubs money but public money.

It was funded by the War Damages Comission or the taxpayer as it's more commonly known.

Did the club pay the money back?

"Did you know public money was used to repair old Trafford after the war, not the clubs money but public money."

Yes, it was war damage - they were hit by German bombs (not like R Madrid, where they just ran out of money and expected the govt to bail them out). It was common for this to happen in both the private and public sector. If you look at your insurance details you will notice that they don't pay out for war - the govt does that.

Did the club pay the money back?

I'am still waiting for a council tax refund after I (because I'am a manc unlike most city fans on here) had to pay towards the building of the Athletics Staduim for the people of Manchester which was then took over by odd lot.

It is a bit much expecting a council tax refund, surely you have to pay council tax in the first place.
