In other words, if you don't back our plans for housing on Dean Road and Gatewen, we won't be able to fund the Kop and the rest of the gateway plan.

That's what worries me. We've been promised the Earth before so somebody else gets what they want. When they have it, then our part of the deal is simply abandoned.
Let them build the Kop first and work outwards from there.
