Re: pos investment in ground???
The whole ownership issue of the ground is going to cause a lot of issues.
If I was signing off cheques to redevelop the kop, I'd want to know what's going to happen in the future. In effect, they could be lining someone else's pockets. I believe the clearing of the kop has and will put investors off. It could cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to do this. Maybe even a million. Who knows. But once the kop is cleared it opens up possibilities. Are we happy for public money to be used in such away? |

By returning Home Park to council ownership it allowed a better use of the large car parks for city centre use. It was a good move to bring Home Park back to public ownership. At this time and with public services under pressure I can't see council investment in The racecourse being welcomed. The councils interim help in allowing use of the Nine Acre is a huge help and that came about, i assume, via an ex council senior officer who happened to be a director of the club. |

Re: pos investment in ground???
Shortly after the trust took over the club wasn't there a study done that showed that the fact there is a football club playing in the town brings in approx £2 million to the local economy. (I really remember reading this but cannot find a link to it)
Improving the Racecourse could result in larger attendances and therefore more money coming into the local economy which could justify spending public money. I saw a random tweet the other day saying that the FAW should bid for the 2021 UEFA under 21 Euros. COuld provide the catalyst for a racecourse development. |
