    Ever seen a major works contract where variations don’t put the price up by up to 20% or more? 
     

    Having said that, Emirates was done on time and budget.

    In April this year construction materials rose by 4.7% that’s on top of an 8.7% rise in March so whatever works are undertaken it’s going to be costly , then again if the main stand were to burn down i am assuming it’s well insured it might be a godsend. 😆

    The cost of building a 'new' Ibrox is worth investigating, the Copland, Broomloan and Govan are over 40 years old now even if there have been changes to each over that time. Everton have estimated £500 million for their proposed new stadium. Spurs apparently spent around £1 billion on their ground. Brentford built a new stadium for £71 million. Some fairly big differences in costs there. I suspect we'd want to keep the Main Stand, so it's a 3 sided bowl or similar we'd be looking at. We wouldn't need to buy land, unlike Spurs and Everton, so that's a saving right away. 

     

    We'd clearly need to borrow the money for the project, and if we assume the 'new' Ibrox would have a higher capacity and more corporate boxes to pay for the build. If we needed £250 million then in simple terms we'd be looking for £10million a season plus interest over 25 years. Not impossible if we add another 10,000 seats plus more hospitality. The danger is that the initial cost grows. That happened when we rebuilt back in the late 70s and it had a huge effect on the quality of the team on the park. 

     

    Match day revenue continues to be our most important source of income, so investigating how to increase that makes a lot of sense. 

    Everton around 55,000 capacity circa £850 million and rising 

  3. Unless we're going to be planting a wee forest of money tree's I don't see were the money's coming from the stadium was out of date when the three new stands were completed back then the corners should have been connected back then and the old stand is in a bit of a state as well if you remember that had to be underpinned before the club deck could go ahead .

    I wonder what it would cost to add 10-15 thousand to the stadium capacity? If financed over 20 years, maybe £70m to £100m? Wild guess. What would naming sponsorship raise?

    Anfield road stand almost finished cost in the region of £97 million
