Exactly. Kidderminster have improved their stadium over the last 132 years. The very poorly researched point made by Alan was that Kidderminster were somewhat disadvantaged by developing and improving their stadium.
Just out of interest, you keep mentioning £1000 per seat to develop a stadium. I don't suppose you could cite your evidence could you?Does this include cost of buying the land? Does it take into account the costs that can be recovered from grants? Does it take into account the difference in land prices and wages between say London and south Wales?
