| I imagine as the local authority own the ground we will pay them a fee to stage games there. How much that would be - I wouldn't have a clue. Depends on what's negotiated between club and council.

The council will not own the stadium the Community Trust will so any rent will be paid to them. That said, its in the Trusts interest to ensure the clubs operating out of the stadium are financilly viable so the rent must be affordable to the tenant. After all there's no point having a stadium if there isn't a team to utilise it's potential.

Happy to stand corrected.

| The issue isn't really how much the club is "worth" (as previous answers have already said it's not really got any real value) but more of how much anyone would need to be able to invest in the club.
Anyone buying the club would need to accept that their investment will be money that their likely to never get a realistic return on - it's not like they'd be buying a Premier League soccer team that has the ability to tap into a global appetite for their sport - which would probably rule out a lot of people.
What it does mean is that any new owner/majority shareholder would almost inevitably be a FAN which can only be a good thing.
As I said on a similar thread a couple of weeks ago, anyone with the money to burn to buy the club would almost certainly want to wait until the franchise decision is known - it's one thing being rich enough to chuck a few hundred grand (or maybe a couple of million) down the drain for a club with guaranteed SL status, but it's another thing altogether if there's a risk of not having SL status.

| Quote: bren2k "I guess that's the crux of it really; the club is limping along and probably losing money right now, with all hopes resting on the new stadium - a very high risk strategy in and of itself.
One view seems to be, for example, that the new stadium will 'attract' higher calibre players. It might indeed pique their interest, but ultimately what attracts high calibre players are salaries and benefits commensurate with their skills and abilities - even if we played in Camp Nou, they wouldn't play for nowt, so we still need to have sufficient cash available to pay the buggers.
Cash-wise, in the absence of a millionaire sugar-daddy, I presume we generate the bulk of our income from ticket sales? That being the case, it would seem that the most urgent task IF we get into the new stadium, is to dramatically increase the number of bums on seats. Does the 'field of dreams' effect that people assume will attract players also extend to new supporters? Will we attract them with the current quality of rugby on display in a brand new venue, or will an injection of cash in the off-season be required to get the quality of players in who are likely to bring new fans through the gates? If that's the case, is it likely to happen? More fans since it's us, I'll stick to ting myself.
indeed lad, indeed. glass half empty and all that .....
