With what happened with the Strawberry I think the council would be hard pushed to reject any development in the city centre.
It's something to do with the residents having a legal requirement for light... They can just move them out now
Stilts mate build above and leave them underneath it. They're not residential as far as I'm aware. Sure the DSS used a lot of them for office space once upon a time
In real life when you have more money to spend, other clubs are going to raise prices for us. Suddenly 40 mil Zaha is costing us 100 mil. Then we breach FFP and get sanctions placed on us. Not so fun.
Being realistic what would our average attendance be if the stadium was bigger? That picture above looks ace. could we get 75,000 there every week do we think?
The plans that Amanda had drawn up at her first run of this was the entire ground and pitch being rotated 90 degrees. Would be easy enough for the council to re-route barrack road. Imagine the Gallowgate land with the milburn stand on it, the east stand with the gallowgate on it, the leazes with a milburn stand on it, and the west stand with the leazes stand on it. increasing capacity to about 80,000 without needing to move the ground.
It doesn't work that way. The club has been profitable. Club could spend £1bn on players and not breach FFP for 3 years. Between player depreciation and increased commercial deals done over next 3 years it could well not even effect it with the increased revenue especially if the Saudi Fans jump on board and a number of big name players for shirt sales worldwide.
If we can manage 48k - 50k when we are absolutely ****, a successful team - including foreign tourists who will come to see the games could easily get 70k. Appearance is everything boys, get rid of the Sports Direct ****e, get proper kits, make ourselves look modern and fresh. Fans will pour in.
With the feel good factor I reckon we could do even more than that, it's crazy. And unlike Man City we'd be to sell tickets for Chanpions League games
