FSIF grant
« on: January 17, 2019, 01:57:26 PM »
BUFC have been awarded a £250,000 grant for the new ground. It comes from the Football Foundation (FSIF).
If the piling has already been completed, there should be enough to do pile caps, ground beams, drainage and general groundworks.  8)

It's good news but I'm surprised we've had to wait so long for a fairly modest sum like that.

Make your own minds up looks pretty positive to me, I am sure some from afar (or maybe not so far now) will put a different spin on things. 🍷🍷

Sounds very familiar!   "The new stadium - which would be part of a £100m project including housing, commercial properties, restaurants and a sportshall as well as infrastructure - was originally estimated to cost £8.5m, but that figure has risen to approximately £11.5m due mainly to rises in the price of steel and concrete".    Jon are you still pulling the strings from your African gold mine?

Skip to 35th minute if you don't want to listen to the Lincoln City talk before the David Newton interview

Very positive from DN. Sounds like funding is coming together. Stadium might feel like a long time coming but we can't underestimate the size of the task this is.  £11 million to build a new stadium when the club has no money or assets.
