Negativity always rears it head

Quoted from aldi_01

Of course they are but equally, the engine shed in particular, they also have their fair share of shite.

The cost of running a venue has become expensive these days too.

I don’t think we should be thinking about using the stadium for gigs...if someone wants to, then it’s an option but it can’t form a serious part of the planning.

People making up figures about other clubs seems pointless though.

I’ll always revert back to my main point, the thought of Day heading up the project team worries me. The question about funding is sensible and ensuring we end up with a stadium that’s at least half decent is important.

Worry about the food or booze or a potential gig or whatever after we’ve eatabslihed what it will look like and where exactly, it will be built.

Me too. A solicitor, an accountant, a penny pinching fish merchant and a football manager as mad as a box of frogs in charge of setting out the first and lasting impression of our football club (the new stadium) for the next 100 years. The new stadium will represent who we are and where we're going as a football club to the public of NE Lincs and beyond, prospective managers and players for a lot longer than the lives of everyone who posts on here. It will define us and is so important to get right. Just another Doncaster or Rotherham stadium won't cut it in my opinion. We need to be bold and innovative. I remember a TV programme before Xmas. Britain's Best Home I think it was. The deserved winner of the whole competition amongst houses which cost millions to build was a unique design that cost 300k. That proves if we can get the right architect in with the right remit, we could get a better bang for our buck than I fear we'll end up with.

If the money's there, I'd quite like a smaller version of Brighton's stadium or a nod towards some of the innovative Nordic stadia but I think the ergonomics and aesthetics are going to be compromised by the funding necessity of it being a community stadium. Quite likely we'll end up with function over form rather than function and form..

If so, beggars can't be choosers and it will still be much better for the club than BP. Just praying that we end up with a stadium that will make people sit up and take notice..

Rotherham is owned by a company - ADS Lighting which is owned by the Rotherham chairman who has invested at least £20m in the club since taking over in 2008. They bought the land for the stadium themselves. Not a reasonable comparison because much of the cash came through the company not the club.

York’s new stadium is still being constructed after about 17 years of plans and counter plans by the way.

Get it done? Yes we should. But don’t count any chickens just yet.

Just about completed and may well hold a professional game either football or rugby before the end of this season so compare their time frame with ours. Ours is now unlikely to be built within 30 years of the official anouncement of moving to a new ground.

I think 76,962 just needs to calm down a bit I won't believe anything about a new ground until the diggers are in digging out the footings.

I certainly share your reservations but if we had a stadium like Rotherham I would be more than happy.

We will await detailed plans but I would be amazed and delighted if it matched their stadium but in glorious black and white.

Anyway, what did happen to Extreme Leisure? 🤔

Slipped on a ski slope I think  

Not been to New York Stadium just wondering why lots of people laud it over other identikit stadia?

I think even Fenty said he'd like PP based on there way back when.

I've been in Rotherhams and its miles better than Donnys and the other conventional stadiums as the one big main stand gives the appearance of a much larger stadium from the outside and a volume of noise from the home support. The tapered ends behind the goal still give you the chance to capitalise on catering for 4000 away fans should you advance up the league and play a decent club.

Not gonna be drawn into fantasising over the finer details for the 800th time in the last quarter of a century but the biggest thing for me is that the place is conducive to creating an atmospheric cauldron that intimidating to opponents. Seats up as close as possible to pitch etc etc.

If New York Stadium better at that than the rest then clone it for all I care.

It'd be nice to have an architectural masterpiece and work of art that stands out but anything diverting from the most efficient methods means more pounds added. Those pounds quickly add up and if we wondering where the hell gonna get 20 million from its no use dreaming of something more fancy for 40, 60, 90.

I quite like Bournemouth's stadium, it always seems close to the pitch on MOTD.

Let them each design a stand.....
One will be neatly balanced,uniform, equal access and egress, bang on budget
One will be built to the highest standards with safe seating, no trip hazards, no sharp edges to maximise crowd safety to prevent injury claims..
One will be built out of upcycled fish boxes, pallets, driftwood, the old seating from Blundell Park all nailed together in a no nonsense way...
And the last would have an ice cream parlour, dog creche, metal detecting area, automatic turnstiles that close bang on 3p.m so don't be late but good acoustics and atmosphere..

Very good.  It's the Fenty stand version I fear the most.
