350k

Rename the main stand the WUW stand.

Which stands for 'Wrap Up Well'.

Then lose the roof (and all the restricted views) as a temporary measure.

When the weather turns warm change the name again to the "Suntan Stand".

Quoted from HertsGTFC

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.

This conversation has obviously predated the current owners, yet with every subsequent year it becomes more pressing.

Throwing 350k at the Main just to make it useable seems a good point to reassess.

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

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.

Just had a look , rhey have done a lot of good work.
Even one of those small stands they do could go in one of the corners , a lot better than the old temporary seating and actually has a roof ,would add a few hundred per corner .

Quoted from DB

I don't know what plan 1878 has for the main stand but I also heard that figure of £350k. The capacity is 2,277 over 23 home league games means it will cost about £6.68 per seat if the stand was filled every home game next season.

Half that etc. over the following seasons, again assuming each seat is taken. So the reality is that it will take several seasons to recoup that sort of expenditure, as the stand is seldom sold out, to recover that cost. Sentiment apart surely it is better to close the stand and spend the money increasing capacity int open corners of the pontoon; with a view to replacing the main stand.

Dont say that to Jason he seems to have a bit of love for the main ,called it  'beautiful ' i think in that interview .... i definitely have a polar opposite view (or non view when i have sat in it)of the main .

Look on the bright side, at least they’re gonna spend the money on the ground to ensure all four stands are functional, unlike the previous idiot.

At least they haven’t wasted a million quid on a project they cold never deliver with a company that never delivered…

HHHmmm ...

Everyone seems to have missed the other the expectations management part of that interview.
Money going into playing budget.
The budget we are doing is for 10 years

We need a new ground, But lets be honest we cannot afford one so thats the end of that one ,  And there is no realy suitable sites within striking distance  . They will have to revamp the ground we have  ,Still going to cost a few bob but at some point soon its going to have to be done .. For me we have two or three empty corners with burger vans nosey coppers tea hut and a over priced beer hut that could be coverd over and seating erecting  then the main can be pulled down and rebuilt . Its  a job done in stages but it needs starting asap . we dont need a 12 / 14 thousand stadium as it would only be full on the odd occation not every game even if we was in the championship . People do not have the money in todays world to spend £30 / £40 a week on football  we have to be realistic

30m for a new stadium. What's the existing burn rate for the current stadium half a million a season? You could conceivably see us spending 5m over that 10 year strategy to move absolutely no further forwards.

Add to that the opportunity cost missed from increased attendances, higher match day spend and completely new income streams.

The longer you push that evaluation horizon out the gap between doing not much really and something substantial becomes smaller and smaller.

You continuously post on here stating the same obvious fact but fail to acknowledge the fact that the club does not have the money for a new ground and are left with the situation they’re in now.

Where did you get the £500k per season figure from?
