| Quote: Doc Brown "I agree. But we're not even close to finishing runners up again which is what it would take to get back to those attendances on a regular basis IMO. That's why I'd have the stadium smaller to begin with and then expand it if and when we reached those heights again.'"
14k is too small, we average 10k and are not very good atm. The cost difference for a 14k stadium and a 20k stadium, wont be that much imho.

Hey I'm not saying it won't happen one day, it would be an ideal solution and I bet we've looked at it but with a local authority that is having to save £25m in two years and an owner who is rich but not that rich and Costello being public open space, even if there is something in it its a long way off!

einstien said insanity is when a person does the same thing over and over again but expects a different result: |
|
| What you do is build a 14.000 4 sided stadium and if you do become really good and need more space you full in the corners to increase capacity

| Quote: Sebasteeno "Typical FC fan snobbery thinking the club is bigger than it actually is. Attendances are falling rapidly just like performances yet most of the people on here are saying that 14K isn't big enough.'"
It isn't, as actual facts prove.
Quote: Sebasteeno "
You know years ago when there was talk of this cancer at the club well I would say it goes as far as the spectators as well. Far too many fans think just because were well supported that were entitled to win the league just like the players do. '"
That was nearly fifteen years ago. All the board, the coach, most of the backroom staff and all but two of the players have gone and yet people like you still go on about it.
Quote: Sebasteeno "
The club AND the fans need a serious rethink about they go about their business. The general air of cockiness and feeling that were better than everyone else is a cancer in itself that holds the club back more than I think people imagine.
We could actually learn a hell of a lot from our red n white neighbours about aspirations and being a club for the fans and the community'"
Who has said that?

| I know a few people (from the Council side) who would certainly know if this was an option, and they've never mentioned it ever being a possibility.
I've always thought it would be a good option. Somewhere to call your own, and the opportunity to control some of the income streams.

| HCC cannot fund a new stadium - there is no money in the pot for anything like this. In reality, IF we were ever to leave the KC, it would be on the back of any payoff from our remaining lease - perhaps enough for a ground, but this would need us to be gifted land to develop and getting planning for a stadium is not without its pitfalls.
In reality, the KC is our home and there is nothing imminent to change that. Mind you, if our crowds keep dropping off, we soon wont be paying any rental to the SMC!!!

| As I said in another thread I don't believe this will happen however, let's say say it was couldn't allam realistically offer council to build a community stadium with us being priority tenants in exchange for the kc? Surely it would be cheaper to build a 14000 seater stadium then a 35000 stadium and it won't upset city fans staying put. Just food for thought

Interesting one, though extending the KC to 35K would cost more than a 14K stadium !

The issues would remain though.
The Allams want to turn West Park into a Retail complex when there is already significant excess capacity across the city and multiple covenants on the land. The bad blood between the council and the Allams shows no sign of being resolved. And it would cost much more to build a 14k stadium than the Allams would pay as a deal sweetener.

Langtree park only cost £25m. I reckon the doc would pay that. Council wouldn't have to fork out a penny and you could include a training site next door incorporating the athletics.
