A meeting at Douglas town hall today will decide whether a special sitting of the borough council should be called to discuss the local authority's contribution to the Bowl refurbishment.
The Policy and Resources Committee is expected to commit an additional £200,000 of rate payers' money, because up to now it has been council policy to support the £3.7 million scheme.
If that happens the special meeting will be arranged, and with the council pretty much evenly split on whether to retain its support, the vote could go either way.
Council leader David Christian says money is going to be tight for the foreseeable future, and the agreed £1.7 million contribution can no longer be justified:
Child benefit payments delayed due to technical issue
Manx Care says it is 'doing a lot of work' to tackle concerns raised by doctors
New elective surgical unit will be 'nice controlled environment'
Manx dancer, teacher and festival organiser 'in awe' at RBV win
MNFU calls for ability to trade with UK to be made a priority
