build low cost stadium using loan paid for by club using transfer surpluses or ground share with another club

Ask the OGC Nice fans who demonstrated to get Conway out after he bled the club dry

Just out of interest I looked up the cost of building a new stadium.

Rotherham's 12000 capacity New York stadium cost 20m to build in 2011

Wimbledon's new Plough Lane 9000 capacity cost 30m in 2017

Brentfords new 17000 stadium cost 70m in 2020

Shrewsbury's 10000 New Meadow cost 11m in 2006

Colchester's 10000 cost 15m in 2008

York City paid 40m for their new 8000 capacity stadium in 2021

Donnys 15000 capacity Keepmoat stadium cost 20m to build in 2006

A conservative estimate to relocate BFC to a 15000 capacity new stadium would be around 30 million judging by the cost of those modest stadiums I mentioned. I reckon that'd be going rock bottom cheap too. I wonder how much the land around oakwell is worth?
