Can you name any other nearly 20 year old stadiums which are worth more than when they were built? The cost of the KC was £44 million but that included infrastructure and stuff around the stadium. So what would you suggest the stadium be sold for.

I doubt anybody would think it makes sense to exclude the infrastucture and stuff around the stadium.
I'm not a valuer but I'm sure there's people who could make a valuation. Modern stadiums are constantly kept in a good state of repair.

I'd say approx £30m but I may be wildly out. I just don't see the value in it, there's a tiny amount of land that could be developed, but it's surrounded by train lines, the park and of course Walton Street which we know will never be allowed to be anything but a market and fair ground.

The infrastructure and stuff around the stadium West Park etc, would not be owned by anybody who bought the stadium. As Sunderland are up for sale for a reported £37 million and for that you get the team and a 48,000 stadium (and a massive fanbase) what makes you think anyone would pay the £44 million cost or the cost of the stadium itself which was, I believe, £32 million or so and which only holds just under 50% of Sunderland's?

A station for traveling away fans with Hull trains putting on a train from the away teams town would be awesome and negate the need for a huge chunk of away transport.

Heard somewhere that the most recent valuation of the KC was about half of that.

That seems reasonable. AFC Wimbledon's ground is costing that but it's in London but it only has 11k capacity.

How about a train for our travelling hordes before helping away fans outsing us?
Not that many football specials rolled up at BP, most away fans came by coach. The days of football specials are long gone.

I nearly always used to go by train (the odd times by car) but never went by coach. I think a football special would be too expensive now.
