350k

Quoted from Yarborough Vaults

If they've got 50m between them and the ground costs 30m they could easily do it and still have 10m each. Hardly be destitute after.

True to form here then.

The transfer window isn’t open yet we’re not going up or down so we’ll keep bleating on about a new stadium despite what the owners have said.

Invest
Our owners (as they  have said)want to stay at BP so pull it down, put up another one.

I think they have decided to stay at Blundell Park which I think is the correct decision, and why they are prepared to spend huge sums on it to keep it ticking over while they decide how to redevelop it.

There is a lot that can be done on the Blundell Park site, and it can be done over many years. They will know the Council are next to useless and they would need their help to deliver a new stadium which would cost ludicrous amounts of money which is unrealistic and they would probably prefer to be in control of events themselves as far as they can.

Anyone know how much money the old regime wasted on "Extreme Leisure" ?

About a million

Could we not get it sponsored as the Myenergy Main Stand after a donation of £200K or so to keep the repair bill down  

Is there a route through the Mariners Trust to get ideas represented to the board for possible consideration?
I think using the corners is probably the simplest and most affordable, but clearly the Main Stand is more urgent, so unless we got another 1m or so from another source, I would not think that would happen before next season. I don't believe it makes any sense to assume that because they are successful that they can or would simply turn on the money spigot.
One thing I feel fairly confident about is that these two very succesful business leaders will consider all angles and possibilities before making what they think is best for the club, they seem to be taking good care of it so far and making improvements wherever they can. I have heard Jason say on a few occasions that they are open to more investment from outside in relation to a new stadium, so they haven't ruled it out but no, right now it's not an idea that they can action for many reasons, I am ok with that. Sounded to me like there are things that need to be done to the Main stand, full stop. Again, ok with that. They have also said they will continue to invest more, personally. Great.

Expect we are already talking to these guys just down the road from me [url]https://gleventsstadia.co.uk/[/url] - a bigger version of the Borehamwood stand would do to replace the Main. A demountable stand could be moved to a new stadium.

The thought of losing revenue if the main stand, 2200 seats, is pulled down is a good one. However the stated capacity of BP is 9,031, less the 2,200 is 6,831 seats, whereas our average gate stated by the club is 6,500.

Add some more seats in the corners for a season and redevelop the main stand. The changing rooms could be in the Findus, which was the original idea with admin moved into Porto cabins until the refurb is complete. For those who think that Poro cabins may not be right, the teams have been using them down Cheapside for donkey's years.

At the end of the day, JS did say all the cup run money, less expenses, would be used to improve the first-team squad. JS and AP are very astute business men, but regardless of the cup run £350k would have had to be found for the main stand from somewhere, so why not just do what they said, use the cup money on the player's budget?

Blackpool have had a 5000 seat 'temporary' stand (with a roof) the length of the pitch for 13 seasons. The 'opportunity cost' of doing something like that must be decreasing if the existing main stand is costing so much to keep open.
