Forget the stadium, can the club please continue to put money into grassroots facilities? With those sorts of cut backs, any future young athletes will have nowhere to play. |  | |  |

Well said Mr Franchise
Are the "tennis courts" still in Manselton Park? I used to love playing there as a kid, maybe they could be turned into MUGA's |  |

I reckon... £15-20 mill?
Makes sense given expansion of ground. Then any revenue the stadium brings in will go to the club. Get more concerts down there... sort out the catering. |  |

We make money each year and have hardly spent anything on players this Summer... even with spending £7 million on Fernandez.
£15-20 million should be seen as an investment to own the stadium. | |

Yes and throw the Ospreys out. They can play at the Gnoll and St Helen's.
Also we could add additional seats over where the in-goal area is for the rugby, with a lower gradient in the lower tier behind the goals, for example Fulham's Putney Road End. Steep at the back like our North and South Stands and shallow in the lower section.

Who has paid for Fairwood and the Academy place? The tooth fairies? The money tree is being plundered at the moment to pay for the extension so that's out. Maybe we could do a sponsored silence or something. |  |

Cant happen that is the last remaining comeback the Bassey's have on us.
They would be fuked without the 'council owned stadium' jibe.
Being serious surely stadium sponsorship is lucrative these days ? That would make a big dent into the cost of buying. |  | | |

15 mill.
Buy with Mortgage secured on the stadium.
Pay back over 5 years.
the stadium could do more revenue if it is run as a proper commercial entity. e.g. run the bars properly. With the current 3 way split of profit and loss, there's no real incentive for the club to maximise the commercial side on stadium activities. |  |

Even with buying fairwood and the academy we're still making a nice profit each year. Premier League money continues to increase year on year.
Increased revenue and stadium sponsorship will offset some of the cost too. | |

Are there any advantages for the club to have the council own the stadium? | |
| |
| Owning our own stadium on 15:22 - Aug 14 with 1798 views | NeathJack |
In the meantime, are we going to be charging the Ospreys for use of the big screens? |  | | |

And we wouldn't have to give them all of it upfront maybe? They might just be glad to offload it on the never never. |  | | |

No idea, that's all i know is that it aint as simple as people on here make out all the time. It's easy to say the money coming in goes up every year, so does the outgoing monies too. If things were that simple, most clubs would be turning a profit. | |

They'll have no use for them. They're only for showing highlights. | |

Your forgetting the Ospreys , it's theirs as much as our ground ,It's not ours to buy. | |

They could pay us the rent Tom, as long as they agree the Ospreys seats are replaced with Jacks ... | | | |
