Fair enough, I stand corrected.

Deepdale didn't kill Preston, Freeport didn't kill Fleetwood, Reebok didn't kill Bolton, Cheshire Oaks didn't kill Chester (the list is endless).....and neither would a retail park have killed Accrington, that's just scaremongering....extremely bad forward planning killed Accrington, nothing will save it now. A retail park would have created jobs, could have had a shuttle bus service from Accrington, could have insisted that planning included reasonably priced small units for small businesses

So why do you need the £20k?
