What else could £250 million get the town?

[Official Old Man]

Following the 'Bus stop for Bloom' thread, what could our Tony spend that much money on that would employ so many staff and bring joy (and heartache) to so many?
As a guide Brighton Palace Pier was £50 million (?) and employs maybe 100 and brings joy to 8 million a year. But it also makes money.
Knock down the Brighton Centre and build a 6* Hotel?

Palace Pier sold for £18 million.

5% of a nuclear submarine deterrent for one year only. We could moor it at the Marina.

 

[Titanic]

Quite a lot of Haribo.

An ice arena but that would only be about £13m.

Was this actually renamed to Brighton Pier from Palace Pier for football reasons?

A gourmet Michelin starred restaurant right on the beach. Not enough restaurants with a view of the sea.

Ice rink is a good idea...

Tram network?

 

[BNthree]

Several minor injuries walk in clinics around the city to ease the pressure on A&E.

 

[Titanic]

A Monorail!

 

[BNthree]

A park and ride scheme with a site on the A23 just north of Pyecombe.

Ice rink is a good idea...

It could be built next to the Amex. Underneath the top coach park area.



Or it could be built under the rugby pitch opposite falmer station.

I think the only way we could get an ice rink in the city is to build underground which has been done in Canada, so it's not a new solution for this.

A Monorail!

And a water slide.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

It could go some way to settling his loans, assuming he has some pretty big ones against the money he's invested in the club.

But, if he came to me and said "how shalt I spend this windfall, wise sage?" I'd say put some aside to add an extra tier or two to the Amex, and the rest spend on a huge 'Health and Wellness' centre, containing Doctors Surgeries, Dentists, Physio, Spa, Salons, Life Coaches, Yoga, you name it. All this is the future...

A cable car system from city centre to Amex similar to Emirates O2 Thames crossing cost £60m with uplift of 5000person per hour

And fire tomahawk missiles at Selhurst, think of the damage we could do!




Oh, wait.

 

[lawros left foot]

Double post

 

[SK1NT]

A lido on the beach...

 

[The Birdman]

Underground system

 

[BensGrandad]

An efficient P & R system
