Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Cost £7,000,000 Seats 5000Rotherhams new stand, costs 4.5 Million and holds 7000Neil Uttley informs me; 'The Club have announced that they intend to replace the existing Main Stand, with a new 7,000 capacity, two tiered new stand. The will cost in the region of £4.25m to build and will look similar to the existing East Stand at Barnsley. However no Formal time scales have yet to be announced as to when this will take place'. It will look like thisCan anyone explain why ours is costing so much more, and will be smaller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe someone is siphoning off money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesco Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 it's not just the material and the labour that has to be considered but the demolishing of the old stand and with the base of the east end solid concret I can see why we will have high costs although I see where you are coming from.

sheps Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 The reason Rotherham's new stand can probably hold 7000 is because it is likely to be situated down the side of the pitch and not behind the goal. If you look at the pic of the Barnsley stand - its down the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCAGFC Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 I really like the Barnsley East Stand and think that it is one of the better stands in the whole football league. I would have thought it was reasonably cheap to build and the executive boxes are in a perfect position (unlike BCFCs will be) and the view from the top tier is excellent as I have had similar views at other league grounds, Burnley have something more or less the same and I just wish we could have gone for that type of design.BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
