New ground update?

[Rayleigh boy]

of course you can make money from hospitality and events at Roots Hall - but you would have to

:: spend some money

:: have a vision

I would say RH is better positioned than an out of town lego place ..

we dont really need additional capacity we just need a bit of investment to build up what we have got and expand ...

its cute and quaint ... just how Ted Lasso like its

As there is zero chance of us redeveloping or remaining at RH it's all a pointless debate.

Thank you for your pointless post. A forum is a place for debate whatever it may be.

Thank you for belittling my post and calling it pointless. It is, however, obvious to me that the debate (note not peoples individual contributions) is pointless as there is zero chance of it happening.

Rather than playing the man, perhaps come back and argue the point, and explain to us why you don't think its pointless, and why you think there is a realistic chance of RH being developed for the stadium instead?

It’s not a zero chance thing, highly unlikely I agree but let’s say Ron-World collapses and SUFC go into administration etc then a new owner could be found who decided to spend on current ground (assuming they were able to purchase that too) rather than look to relocate. If that was their wish it is possible, not necessarily sensible or economical perhaps but it could be done with marginal investment or even with significant money if the desire was there

Ron world in terms SUFC and the development are two separate things. And the assets are all owned in RHL/Elounda LLC and they have up to date accounts and are sound. Even if Martin Dawn/SEL went it wouldn’t affect the stadium ownership/land ownership/ development entity.

The development itself has the billionaire Dellals on board and will happen even if the club went into administration. The stadium would be built as it’s the enabling project and a condition of the planning.

So I think a scenario where we end up long term (beyond 2-3 years) in RH let alone redeveloping it is now vanishingly small.

I think the idea of buying the club and having to stay in RH would make a sale considerably less likely as the club would be considerably less sustainable?

The situation at York City shows that a new ground and a change of ownership does not necessarily resolve underlying problems.

Clubs either need a sugar daddy, or to ensure that their income exceeds expenditure - likely by operating with smaller squads.

Quite straight forward spend less than your income. Agreed.

Tbf to York city.

As nice as it is to visit, it's never been a hotbed of football.

The crowds have increased marginally.

If you think about how bad things have been for us the last few seasons, and continue to be, it's remarkable that we have such excellent support.

With the right infrastructure, SUFC could be flying

And without the right infrastructure, and without an owner who is as crafty/ downright corrupt as Ron, SUFC could go bust very quickly.

Ahh the famous sperm design.

Self portrait of the owner imo…

It’s such a shame to lose the hall. At least it has character

Sadly i disagree. I love the hall with all my heart, but its a collosal t urd.

Would you book a room for a family members birthday, or consider it a place to entertain clients? Be honest.

Ive only been to the amex once, but its truly night and day in comparison.

ridiculous ,,,,, I believe Wrexham posted an operating loss of around 3 million ....
BUT of course they have doubled or trebled the capital value of the club and built revenue streams that will deliver loadsa a money....

if you invest it may take several years to see profit ,,,,

Fannys! Ozzie has got some stories about that place. I think he had a season ticket.
