Ergh this brand new stadium we were handed, did it originally come with a South Stand and an extra tier around the whole of the stadium ?
If it did, some fucker nicked it before we took charge.
Oh and by the way, its Vimpto.

Untwist your knickers.

Everyone associated with the club back in the day knows we got a good deal on the stadium, and they're happy to say so.

Our stadium cost about £110 million. £77 million of that was paid by Sport England and the rest was paid by Manchester City Council.

The Council has benefited as well, it was beneficial all round, given there had to be a use for the stadium post Commonwealth Games.

The Utd situation is different, Jimmy Billionaire is looking for a hand out and he isn't getting one. Starmer is right to chip in a bit for the transport infrastructure and Burnham will be happy to spend it, but Jimmy boy has been told, as far as the stadium is concerned, he's on his own.

It's the right stance to take, it's small change in the scheme of things and Starmer can't be giving Scruffy any excuses for not dipping into his overflowing pockets.

You're right.

The total cost of the conversion was in excess of £40 million, with the track, pitch and seating conversion being funded by the city council at a cost of £22 million and the installation of bars, restaurants and corporate entertainment areas throughout the stadium being funded by the football club at a cost of £20 million

Still a good deal whichever way you cut it.

The stadium the rags played in the other day cost 5 Billion Dollars apparently and this appears to be the going rate now for a state of the art stadium. A lot of investment in that regardless of who pays for it.

A brickie mate of mine says he could do it for 200k, tops.
Payment for materials in advance of course, can't be too careful.
 
Good knows how an athletic stadium can be classed as a brand new football stadium, posts on BM never disappoint I’ll give it that.
