Figure

[Returnofrros]

Was there ever a figure given for the development pre COVID .....is there anything to compare £144 million against?

Seem to remember £20 mill getting bandied about for just the stadium but Cannae mind if there was anything official from FPS re cost.

I think that the original figure was £30 million for the development of the whole site with the stadium costing £20 million.

Figure I had in mind from memory but can't find any reference to it.

Remember asking a pal who was involved in big construction projects about the figs and he just kinda laughed......here we are (I know the project parameters have changed) a few year down the road with a 400% increase.....hmmmm.

Figures clutched from the air I reckon, back then and now.

That's hard to disagree with.

I enclose an article published on the DBF on 11th December 2018 which quotes John zNelms stating that the funding for the new £15 million stadium is taking a long, long time. https://www.************.co.uk/topic...g-time’/
This article was in the Courier which I cannot read as I am not a subscriber.

I enclose another article dated 12th December 2018 about the funding for the new £15 million stadium taking a long long time to source. https://www.nottheoldfirm.com/news/d...rva_cmp_open=1
Unfortunately everything in this article did not materialise apart from the piece about the funding taking a long long time to get in place.
Judging my John Nelms announcement at last week’s news conference I do not think that he has the funding in place if Dundee FC are going to have to find £30-40 million for the cost of the the stadium.
In my opinion this is another attempt by Nelms to try to pacify the Dundee supporters and to try to sell more season tickets.

Are you suggesting Islay that it’s The Club who are building the new stadium ? Think this is quite important as it’s being widely reported that they are. Last week at the clubs press conference to unveil the manager when JN came to answering questions re stadium funding and planning permission it was we this, we that, surely he is talking at times like that as the football clubs MD. I’d be right in saying it’s a third party who are building the stadium and the intention is for the club to rent it ?

My understanding of it is nelms and keyes are building a stadium through a company they own,and the football club will rent from them.

This is a major worry for me, they will be negotiating the rent amount,and lease duration with themselves. Other conditions could also be imposed,like the club is renting a stadium but not any concession stands,we are likely to be charged for parking,and again who is charging us,the club or the other company?

Of course,they could be building a stadium and donating it to the club, but keeping all the other stuff for themselves although you would wonder what is in it for the mystery backers who are providing the other hundred mil....
