Not wanting to look through the whole thread but is this stadium to be a council owned and run facility ?
If it is be very careful
You could find yourself out of pocket compared to Belle Vue
The whole ' ethos ' of new stadia is that they work for you 7 days a week generating money , which is fine if they are generating money for your club but if they have to generate money to pay overpaid , unneccessay council staff to run them , then things dont work out quite the same
You must make sure that you are the ones running it , yes you might have to have a couple of council controlled ' watchers ' in the management but if it ends up as council run it will be of no financial benifit
Hope it works out for you , also make sure there is at least a full side standing
