Most things that are really worthwhile are hard. There are always lots of seemingly good reasons for not doing these things.
Un July 1969 a man walked on the moon. This feat was achieved nearly fifty years ago. When in 1963 months before his assassination John F. Kennedy commited the United States ro putting a man on the moon before the end of that decade most people thought him crazy.
JFK said it that America chose to put a man on the moon before 1970, not because it was easy but because it was hard.
Think about it.
I have thought about it and I think that it would actually be easier to fake a moon landing in 1969 than it would for the good people of Newport to build a fit for purpose stadium today.
We have a council that is historically not interested, a business community that keep telling their mates that they want certain board members to leave before they donate their millions (yet we still struggle for sponsors) and we have a fan base that donate less than £40k a year.
Perhaps you should think about it.
