Rhino's Skin 972 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Well we have just under 2 years to sort out all the red tape and get a replacement playing venue if they can keep to proposed timeline.Sure as egge are eggs, one or more of the authorites, residential groups etc will try to throw a spanner in the works and delay the process.

RhesusReus 219 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 No! I hate those roofs! Newcastle has this bar like roof on one side, and it casts a horrible shadow on the pitch, blocking out the play when you watch it on TV. I hate that! Ugh. Well, Let's hope all our games are night matches come 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Let's hope all our games are night matches come 2020.Hate the newcastle roof too. Looks like a greenhouse. But I guess ours will be a bit more classy. Still no clue why those bars. We got only 12 acres space and limit it even further by plugging pillars around the stadium? I would go as high and narrow as possible. If abramovich really pays the stadium on his own it would be too grateful even for his standards. Should call it abramobridge^^ . but I guess he is too modest for this. Actually great we stay at our venue other than some clubs with so called tradition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I love the renders and the look of the new Bridge! But I wish the open roof-circle will be bigger as it seems it will be blocking out most of the sunlight regardless of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually great we stay at our venue other than some clubs with so called tradition.That wasn't the impression I got from reading the presentation material and press articles. Rather I expected that Roman would be lending the club the money to build the New Bridge rather than sourcing the loan on the market which would cost more and probably require more disclosure (to any lender) about its financial affairs than the club seem comfortable with these days.For Roman simply to give the club the money does not seem to make any sense to me. Of course if that's what he wants to do then who are we to argue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course if that's what he wants to do then who are we to argue.I think you are right on this. People seem to have got carried away with the idea of Roman building us all a stadium as a act of outstanding benevolence but that doesn't seem to be his way (most of his loans to the club are still noted as debts on the Fordstam balance sheet). So if Roman does pay for the building work the total cost, which is likely to be a lot more than £500m in my view, will probably sit there in the Fordstam accounts as an additional debt. That said I remember Bruce Buck talking about the financing of the stadium back in 2011 and he mentioned a combination of Roman's own cash and bank loans. But however the project is financed it raises the question of the CPO and whether Roman will ask for its dissolution as his price for financing the redevelopment. After all, why would someone invest a lot of money in an asset that doesn't really belong to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
