Many factors affect costs. Morecambe are just starting to build a new stadium, having sold christie park, and now it has planning for a supermarket.
Ultimately our biggest issue is lack of assets. Southend, morecambe, tottenham, Bristol city, all in various stages of redevelopment or relocation, and all are linked to a supermarket deal, there are other clubs working withsupermarkets to relocate, in a way it's scary that it's the march of supermarkets funding development. Look at Chesterfield, Coventry, everton (failed)
we have nothing to trade with, apart from some old stands, therefore it will have to be self financing, either done in conjunction with another development, ie retail, or housing. I think a standalone stadium would be a financial challenge.
I would add Dave Newton know more about this than any of us!!
Anyway costs, perhaps on the cheap at £7 million, there has to be sufficent facilities to keep revenue flowing all week every week,
In terms of structure, we are adding a floor. So to install a mezz we have to raise the existing building, it's a real challenge in terms of structural design, and minimising the amount if support columns. I am extending an existing supermarket into an adjoining former homebase, which increases the sales area from 37k sq ft to 100k sq ft. Really exciting stuff, it's the biggest extension we have ever done.
