It's nearly twice as much. Granted the exhibition hall and excavation for underground casino would be high, it just seems not right to me. It's all a bit vague.
It was previously quoted (can't remember who) at approx £20m for the decontamination. It doesn't actually say it didn't cost that much as decontamination is lumped in with other costs.
The build cost at even £60m is significantly higher than comparable stadia, Walkers Stadium was £35m.
The only defence I'll give of ACL is that they couldn't afford it either. Their £21m mortgage meant they needed income. The whole thing was donned from the off. You have to question why such a cheaply finished stadium cost £118m.
Indeed. Imagine seeing property costs of £1.2m + additional matchday costs and a built in escalator to increase it on promotion. In return they got none of the income generated from their presence.
I disagree, it's pretty good considering they've only just gone on general sale. Anything over 1k is good. I went there last season and think it was under 1k for a Saturday 3pm KO, might be wrong though.
This time three years ago we were on a 10 game unbeaten run under Robins. The home gates were still less than the average now. The highest gate was 14k vs Shrewsbury on New Year's Day
