I'm not saying they've actually prevented this, but that the stink their fans kicked up when it was first mooted and would inevitably have kicked up if we went down that road will have been a factor in us not doing it. duncanmckenzieismagic and pete0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 It seems they are using the council money from what Moshiri said... "I have spent £250m to turn a museum into a competitive outfit, we will complete the stadium. We will raise £350m through the city, the naming rights will be some more. There is an equity gap of £100m. This club is sufficiently robust to see this project through. "If we want a big club we need a modern stadium."

I've better to develop GPS imho But it will cost more to develop GP. It’s not just about the extra seats, it’s about the all round facilities. Anyone who’s been in the changing rooms will tell you they are not premier league standard, and there is no room inside the stadium to expand these things. Then there is the lack of corporate facilities, not enough room for the general fans in comparison with other stadiums, terrible leg room and small concourses. It’s the whole package. I’m sure you’ll love the new stadium when you get in it Rubes. Newty82, Bailey and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things Meis mentioned like the Leict latticework being used as the front of a long bar inside the stands, and 1878 wooden seats from the Bullens being used in a section would add to all that for me.
