bcfc01 Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Looking at the land registry, there is a covenant from 1917 which prohibits the land being used for anything other than sporting activity. It also states that no building related to sporting activity shall be over 10 feet in height. It was updated in 1921 to say that the height restriction has been deleted. Cost £3 to find that out, thats one less pint tonight 5 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true, but York City’s ground which holds 8,500 cost £44m, with the build starting 6 years ago. The ground includes a leisure complex and a community hub, so let’s say £35m ish just for the stadium which is roughly the same as Wimbledon. However, York started building 6 years ago and Wimbledon 4years, so allowing for building cost inflation it’s approx £40m ish for 8,500 seats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3City Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Probably a decent signing for the Blue Few, but they do seem to have shelled out a few quid on signings / wages this summer in their desperation to catch / match us. Surely the idea is flawed though? If they don't make it it's an expensive gamble, with little prospect of any significant rise in income (over and above the current stand fiasco) until they get a new stadium (which looks years away at best). However if they did fluke promotion I don't believe the financial rewards of The Championship are sufficient to make it worthwhile anyway, and even if it was I'd guess the amount of investment necessary to give them a fighting chance of playing survival would be on a level they are incapable of sustaining with the current regime. Therefore, it looks like a gamble to make them a more attractive investment opportunity perhaps? OTIBers with far superior financial knowledge than me please correct my understanding if I'm wrong.

Ska Junkie Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 When the Atyeo is discussed, I appreciate we do things properly, not cheaply, the discussion surrounded £1k per seat so a South stand at the Atyeo end would cost £7M for 2000 extra seats. Was that right or was I dreaming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 I guess the final Atyeo cost would have included the addition of the previous changing rooms and facilities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meanwhile FTG... They’re going for broke this season. They’ll be hugely over budget especially given the lost revenue of the stand. L1 is very weak this season, so they will probably finish top half/10. Would think they’ll be in a bit of bother next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Anderson was a huge success for BRFC, winning national plaudits, and Barton has a good eye for a midfielder. BRFC signed two promising players from Chelsea before - Colkett and Clarke-Salter. Great things were expected of the former, but he struggled to live up to the physical demands of the league and had his loan cancelled early before briefly resurfacing at Swindon. The latter didn't live up to the billing, but subsequently became a championship-level player (QPR, mind) With the exception of a very few, it is extremely hard to tell at this stage if players will make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Luton they are there on merit whilst at the same time there's always an anomaly in a season. Luton /Coventry last season, Huddersfield in 21/22.
