[ajthefox]

I'd love to know how Everton spent 54m on their stadium before they got planning.

Real Madrid and Tottenham have each spent roughly £1bn on new stadiums in recent years.

Yet Southampton, Leicester City and Sunderland’s stadiums combined cost £100m.

Why are stadiums so much more expensive to build these days?

Tbf, Spurs spent a significant amount of money having this custom designed and installed…

They paid £50 million to a company called "Definitely legit building company".

 

That company then paid some Everton players consultancy fees as it turns out they happened to sign a bunch of world class architects

Comparing those sets is like comparing apples and oranges as far as stadiums go, they're levels of complexity and sophistication beyond our gaff.

I wish they'd paid me a sliver of that for my architectural services! I'm not world class but I do a good job!

Ha ha this is genius😂😂 Absolutely crying here

[sylofox]

Is it finished yet?

[Guest Fox99]

Some completely wishful thinking here of an expanded South Stand (Kop), with safe standing in the bottom tier. Akin to what Spurs have on a different level obviously, with everyone vocally-minded in one stand and the away fans are of course in the same North-East corner. Also believe Spurs don’t generally have standing home blocks either side of the away corner? It’s clearly going to be an East Stand expansion though, whenever it happens.

At this stage I'd just be happy with some extra bogs in the South Stand.

Think this will go down as just a pipe dream, time seems to have come and gone.

Are you OK?

Thought this was an interesting video on other stadium builds. Real Madrid will have a 5 storey underground car parking. 3 different retractable pitches (one seems to be a hard court), closeable roof and laser projected footage of the game onto the walls of the stadium

 

Effectively they've combined the arena and stadium into one multiple purpose building

[Sly]

What’s occurring with this then? 
 

Have we given up on it? 

[Sunbury Fox]

We need to start this ASAP so we can offset the cost against our inevitably big losses in forthcoming financial years.

About 18yrs difference in start dates will have a huge bearing on price. The new land spuds purchased will have cost way more and the clearance.

 

Then we went medium size BMW spuds went large Rolls Royce.

Fairly sure i read last year that this was on hold until we have prem football again..

[MPH]

i see a multistory car park for over 500 cars is part of the plans. That will be fun to get out of on match days...

[StanSP]

Maybe summer? 

[Foxes_Trust]

The club have 5 years to COMMENCE the work from the approval of Section 106 which was confirmed Dec 2023

[Stadt]

Easy to say in hindsight but we should have developed the ground prior to Seagrave. We chose to incur much greater running costs before developing the (directly) revenue generating infrastructure project.

Think it got brought up at a trust meeting or similar and there was a line about whilst PL football wasn't essential for it to go ahead it would ensure a minimal subsidy from King Power if top flight football was in place. I know I haven't just made that up I definitely read it somewhere ☺️

SEagrave seems more like a vanity project.
