The Infrastructure Projects

[Salvatore Matrecano]

The extra 10,000 seats from a new ground will earn us approximately £7m a year. We will get more off field an commercial use granted but redeveloping the CG would get more income too.

Lets call it a round £10m a year better moving.
Thats just 8% of our TV income.
Or the price of a modest signing like Dominguez.

So how exactly does this transform us from relegation candidates to European contenders?

Honestly Sal it's doing my nut in. This need has come from nowhere and it's because it's dirty. People aren't just saying we need a new stadium because it's what they want, it's been fed to them.

Since when have people wanted a new stadium because the city ground is substandard and limits our capabilities on the pitch?

The club could easily smarten up the city ground concourses, bars and toilets, whilst building a new main stand.

People need to ask themselves at what point did you start wanting a new stadium and why?

Its quite bizarre because the exact same arguments have been there for 20 years.

But now suddenly on the back of an interview with our chairman (who blatantly lied about the rent) and one with our owner flexing his biceps, everyone wants to move to a “sports village” when nobody even knows what that means.
