pablofarmer 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Not sure if any of you have been on it but just back form one this morning. Was good fun, got to see lots. Interesting thing guide said was that when DM was appointed he looked into putting a stand in front of the hotel ( which by the way we get revenue from) and the cost of outting in 800 seats there was going to be £21M!

Reggie Strayshun 0 Posted October 31, 2013 I suppose it wasn''t the 800 seats that were going to cost 21 mill, but more the structure in which they were to be housed !Still sounds a lot though....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pablofarmer 0 Posted October 31, 2013 Seriously van wink that is what we were told, it was for a permenant structure not a temp one. Even if there have been crossed wire the bottom line was that for what it would cost the club would not see a proper return in the money. So it must of been a bigger than expected number.

The Great Mass Debater 1,202 Posted November 1, 2013 I dont understand Stadium costs at all. When Derby moved from the Baseball ground in 1999 I think it was, the new ground Pride Park was reported to have cost £20m to build. An entire stadium. Theyd just build a new stand at the Baseball Ground too, which was widely reported to have cost £7m. Now, 15 years later, 800 seats costs £20m, a new City stand over £30m. Im aware of the concept of inflation. But really, in just 15 years how can prices have gone up that much. Think the corner in-fills at Carrow Road were 3m each werent they?

The Great Mass Debater 1,202 Posted November 1, 2013 I might also add that before the Leeds bubble burst and they were top of the League at xmas (2001 I think), season ticket holders were given the chance to vote on whether to move to a new stadium at a cost of £50million. They voted overwhelmingly for ''yes'' by the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
