And now we have the denouement. The " WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A NEW STADIUM IN ALDERSHOT" Gambit. Suddenly Mr Young has > an investor willing to put up $30 million? LOL! Sure. On city owned employment lands in Aldershot? Right. They are having problems building a pier. You're telling me a community of 165000 is now going to build a CFL sized stadium? Can you say Glendale Arizona ?

God bless the fools if they actually try to do it.

Well...I've already e-mailed the mayor and councillor to let them know that we are going down that path. Doesn't make sense that a city that is trying to forge its own identity decides to basically make it clear to the world that it's just a suburb of Hamilton. Nor does it make sense that it would spend taxpayers money to do it...even $15 million (with Paletta's $30 million contribution, assuming we aren't on the hook for other costs like road improvements) for a stadium for which there is absolutely no need in Burlington.
