Genie Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I imagine you could probably build a basic, brand new stadium for about £100-120m. Given the amount of money in the game that’s not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs have gone up A LOT, and I mean A LOT in the last 12 months but yes, you would think you could build a decent sized Stadium in Small Eat for £100m odd. They'll only need a little one after all. The fashion these days for clubs like that seems to be to build them with potential future expansion built into the design for if ever they do actually stop being shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 The existence of the club and its fans reminds me a lot of the late, great Stephen Hawkins. Not necessarily due to the high intelligence levels, that the club is shooting for the stars or that the club is held in high esteem across the country.. More so that the fans mostly seem to be a bunch of yellow toothed Alf Garnett word. Hopefully this new guy can bring a bit of grace and decorum, like Karen Brady did.. or something.

I hope he brings more false promises and takes the club further into turmoil personally 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doncaster Rovers' Keepmoat Stadium holds 15,231 and cost £20 million. Obviously that's a much bigger capacity than small heath will ever need. They should be able to get some sort of flatpack kit from IKEA that might do until the club inevitably folds. Then it could be used as firewood. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Is that genuinely the executive boxes' entrance at St Andrews? That's honestly shocking, it's so tragic there's no need to even take the piss. Most League 1 stadiums would put that to shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) Bloody hell, it's real. You walk in through that shit tip, then get to sit here, on chairs that looks about as comfy as the normal seats in the stands. All for the bargain cost of about 250 quid a head Edited May 11, 2023 by Davkaus 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
