Bristol Rob Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 With 100 million just for being in the prem, there is no value in developing a stand that might be full half a dozen times a season at best. The benefit on spend will be minimal. If we get to the promised land, our revenue will be dwarfed by Sky, so there is little to no need to provide additional space.

Silvio Dante Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I did touch on this earlier but if you want to see how much the houses are going for (or any others if you're nosey), link is here http://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/detail.html?country=england&locationIdentifier=STREET^211954&searchLocation=Ashton+Road Actual land reg records - 64 went for less than the £440 mooted earlier but priced def on the up, even if you ignore the "ransom" factor. Most houses were placed on open market so unless the club used a middleman/patsy, don't see them having bought all (if any) of the 8 sales in last 3 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing of more substance to it yet, but as Dolly has said, there are serious plans to make this happen as soon as the time is right. A hotel and a 4K indoor arena, I believe.

If you really have issues with SL at his conduct at the helm of this club then I don't think anything is ever going to change your mind because it must be some personal vendetta against the man who goes above and beyond the call of duty in trying to take this club forward. Wow, easy tiger! Personal vendetta? Really? Merely suggesting that sometimes maybe a pinch of salt needs to be taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my thinking, an away stand that can accommodate 3000 fans is more than enough - the space inside the stand can then be used for other activities / income streams that are more profitable.

Malago Posted October 18, 2016 Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 The answer to increasing the capacity at AG is safe standing. It seems to be going well at Celtic Park, so hopefully that will act as a catalyst for a roll out across the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted October 18, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 I've only skimmed the topic whilst at work but has anyone mentioned FFP regulations? Infrastructure costs are excluded from FFP so we could spend £1b on the ground if we wanted and it wouldn't count against us on FFP. However, if this then resulted in 6 to 10 games where we had increased income over keeping the status quo, this income IS then allowed to be included as part of our turnover that we can then spend on player wages for example, allowing us to compete on a more even playing field. This will definitely be a factor in any decision to expand, it's not just a simple "can we pay off the asset in a certain timeframe" discussion, particularly as we have a philanthropist owner.

Mmm... so could we pay Messi £1k a week and then get him to pop up a couple of IKEA shelving units everyweek at a cost of £500k? Those shelves really are buggers. actually the chests of drawers are worse, he can do one of those too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
