350k

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner

100% waste of money, they need to come up with a plan that doesn't involve sticking plasters.

It came across a bit like
.... Don't expect any big signings we didn't realise how much money was needed to bring the club up to date

Quoted from Mappers

To keep the main stand operational next season ,Stockwood said in his interview today .

I wonder what needs doing ?

As I've stated previously, many times, the Main has had prohibition notices put on it, since Fentys tenure, think its the steelwork and roof. Honest John chose not to do anything whatsoever about it 🤷

The structure was clearly end of life decades ago and its limped on,  and on, and on, and on ........

Might as just KLF that 350k.

Get over a million from the fa cup, then comes out to say it will be on player budget. Less than 1 week later we now need to take 350k off.. hmmmm

“I would simply demolish 2300 seats along with all the changing rooms, cut the home capacity by a third and burn a massive income stream” probably isn’t viable, so maybe a sticking plaster might do the job for a couple of years until we know what we can do?

Don't really get the thinking of some comments on this thread.

We can't afford NOT to do the repair work, if that is what's required to keep the stand open, otherwise we would be losing 2200 seats for 23 games, which is a big loss of income.

Even knocking it down and doing nothing would incur costs in demolition and moving facilities elsewhere.

It could be worse. It could have happened at the end of a season where we went out of the cup at the first hurdle.

The nature of the construction of the main stand means it has to be checked regularly to meet safety targets, and it's not the fault of the owners that the latest report is going to lead to these unexpected costs, but that is the nature of the legacy the previous owner left behind.

I agree in the main but it’s surely not impossible to put temporary seating in? Think of all the major summer events that have temporary constructions brought in.

Clearly we can't afford not to do the work but what I do have a problem with is the supposition from the owners that a new ground is not a priority.

How much did they spend last year, who knows, would it have been half a million, could have been that much. Now 350k for the main and another new pitch. What else this close season. What the year after. And after that.

The ground is way beyond its expected useful life. It will likely hemorrhage money until we can move on.  That is bound to impact the playing budget.

If they're that against building a new stadium, then they'll need to keep pouring money into BP.

Personally it feels short sighted and, ultimately, self defeating.
