I've never been but as others have said Rotherham's new ground looks good, I would be happy if we built the same or similar.

Nowt worse than having a stadium half empty, 12,000 is big enough for us in my opinion.

All the plans will be already drawn up so plans on the cheap and if we get the company that built it to do it for us they will have learnt from any problems building it.

Interesting you have just invented that figure or maybe you have evidence that those sort of amounts are available??
I believe Rotherham were loaned 5m,you are proposing twice that amount.
Laughable regarding concerts,Grimsby Auditorium can't attract any sort of bands never mind filling a stadium.

Of course I invented the bloody numbers but if Rotherham who went bust how many times did it why can’t we. They also did it in a period of austerity and the shackles are now being released
And when was the last time we had a top gig at the auditorium and not just a bloody tribute band

I don’t think the auditorium has anything to do with why they don’t attract many ‘big’ acts...more to do with your companies sticking to the same plan and routes...just look at the Wngine shed, decent venue that has held gigs of big bands but they struggle to lure bands away from Sheffield or Nottingham...

Ah right I see,just make figures up.
The post earlier explains Rotherham's situation,totally different.
The point about the auditorium was that its difficult to attract acts so don't assume an automatic income stream.

Take a look at the engine's shed guide on what's coming up.
Or even Scunthorpe Bath's.
Both far ahead of here.
That's not to say a new venue wouldn't be able to attract promotors.

Just don't expect the Pet Shop Boys to play here following their last visit ..

Of course they are but equally, the engine shed in particular, they also have their fair share of shite.

The cost of running a venue has become expensive these days too.

I don’t think we should be thinking about using the stadium for gigs...if someone wants to, then it’s an option but it can’t form a serious part of the planning.

People making up figures about other clubs seems pointless though.

I’ll always revert back to my main point, the thought of Day heading up the project team worries me. The question about funding is sensible and ensuring we end up with a stadium that’s at least half decent is important.

Worry about the food or booze or a potential gig or whatever after we’ve eatabslihed what it will look like and where exactly, it will be built.

Left to their own devices they probably would.
