As you say the museum is not likely to make money. Some museums are major tourist attractions, most are not.
Whilst it would be great and appropriate to have it housed in the stadium in a purpose built facility, there isn't the money for that. It isn't just getting a room and sticking some stuff in it, the County Museum is a much bettter option for a host of practical reasons.

There is already a plan to redevelop the Kop end. The Welsh Government is trying to purchase the derelict land behind the Kop to make that happen. If we could secure the football museum and the money budgeted for it in addition then I think that would be a good thing. It would make the Racecourse a destination outside of match days.
As regards the cost of running it. No museum makes money so it would require central funding to cover the running costs and upkeep - as it would wherever it is housed.
