From John laidlar's award winning official site that puts others in the shade even when it's raining;
The Northwich Guardian says that "Northwich Victoria Football Club hope to own their home patch by the end of next month. Owner Jim Rushe issued a statement this afternoon confirming he has swapped contracts with Deloitte Touche on a deal to buy the Marston’s Arena. He could be landlord within weeks...
He said, 'I know it’s been a long road to get here, but I’m just happy to have come this far'... Rushe confirmed he had paid a £75,000 deposit, leaving him with a month to pay the remainder of the agreed £1.35m fee. After that he will have the keys to the nine-acre Wincham site for keeps. The mortgage will be paid by a holding company, Northwich Victoria Developments Limited, set up by him in March this year. He has promised that a proportion of the revenue generated by commercial activity at the ground will be invested in the football club... 'I’ll be sticking around', he said. 'Why would I go through all this just to disappear once the deal is done?'".
I'm sure the walrus said that last line a few times? I didn't think you could get 95% mortgages in today's climate?..what credit crunch?...in effect I think that article is saying he's got a month to find such a mortgage...easy peasy!
