New Everton Stadium

[vagant59]

If capacity was reduced to 30,000 during the redevelopment it would cost £4-5 million a year in lost revenues. Totally agree on the second point!

You could increase the cost of the available seats to offset this loss

The Chinese are not buying that much steel these days.so the cost might not be as much as you would think

Spot on

Bet the cost of concrete, or plastic seats, or grass or something has sky rocketed, torpedoing the whole thing though.

Everton that.

Not really, plastics come from the Wirral actually !

Back on topic ... I think concrete's fairly pricey historically at the moment but, overall, it's not a bad time for large constructions. Anyway, this should really be in the stadium thread. Soz like.

I don't think that anybody takes the accusation of money being laundered out of the club seriously

It's interesting that you don't think that

It's nothing considering isn't it?

Had a look at the Bordeaux Stadium website. Turns out that €20mil funded by the club, €75 mil funded by local and regional government (probably rationalised by it being a Euro 2016 venue) and the rest private money with Bordeax paying €3.85mil rent per year on a 30 year lease.
My understanding is that the football club don't have exclusive use.
But it is beautiful!!!!

Construction cost €168 million? Good luck Everton funding an amount getting something like that started.
Looks nice though...

Same with all the German stadiums, funded centrally for the World Cup in 2006 weren't they? Trouble is even if England got the World Cup the gov wouldn't fund any new grounds, since they must have enough over or around 50,000 capacity now? Wembley, old Trafford, Emirates, etihad, st James, Olympic stadium, anfield, stadium of light, then the likes of. Villa Park or even millennium stadium could be used?
That Bordeaux stadium isn't the best anyway, look at the space between the rows it will feel echoey and empty and be hard to generate an atmosphere. Like if you've been to the emirates, there's too much space between the seats and that's why it's a naff atmosphere even in away ends.
