Do you BELIEVE we can afford Falmer?

[Withdean Wanderer]

Do you believe we have the £60 million* to build the new stadium?



* or however much it is going to cost, if you don't believe the clubs word

What would that achieve?

So boring.

I don't believe they 'have' 60 mill in the bank, but I do believe they have the ways and means of coming up with it, and we already know that there will be a mortgage on a substantial part of it.

You might have guessed our erstwhile 'fan' Withdean Wanderer would post a poll like this. Aren't we all glad we don't have either work with him or live next door.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

There are two different questions floating about.

Can we afford Falmer?
and
Do you believe we will have the money?

Two different question, really.

We can afford Falmer, if we have a decent marketing team and set prices at sensible levels to bring back the masses. We have two Universities within a stones throw, a relatively youthful population and a large catchment area. There does seem to be a chance that the project will be extremely viable. We do not have a great deal of debt owed to those outside of the club, so that should not be an issue.

I read that Steward433 said that we have two people on the board that could pay for the whole thing. Were their names revealed? I am certain we do not have anyone that rich on our side.

Ps Why the sly digs at WW? He is asking a justifiable question and something that is key to our progress as a club. Obviously, it is all opinionated as we are looking into the future.

That was what triggered the poll...but apparently such thing means i'm 'not a supporter' bla bla bla

NSC would be a far more positive place

I Think The Initial Cost Is Covered By One Member Of The Board,this Will Be Repaid To Him Once The Bankers Loosen There Sweaty Little Grip On Our Money!

 

[chimneys]

The question really should be refined to- Will we have the money in place in order to open in August 2011? At some stage in the future I'm sure we will have, but owing to circumstances well out of control of the Board I am very worried about whether we will have it in place to be able to open in August 2011.

I too have heard that the first phase was paid for by a director.

There's plenty of us who not so long ago wondered whether we'd have had a club to support. Despite it all I feel the need to remain positive because of what has been achieved since then.

P.S. You know who is a colossal moaner hence the replies he's getting.

The first phase (ignoring the roadworks) is certainly a different kettle of fish to being able to cover the cost of the whole project.

Your debating skills are most impressive lad! Well prove they are by telling us why WW is a stupid **** for bringing up finance when it hasnt been confirmed by the club.

 

[Don Quixote]

no we don not have 60 millon lying around. I believe we are borowing some money? Maybe only a couple of hundred, but i've heard we can't quite streatch all the way...

The ability to pay the whole project is there. I never once said they were going to though.

But who? I never said that you did.
