What did the riverside stadium cost to build?

[Jan_Aage_Fjortoft]

Thats the most disappointing thing for me. Not having anywhere to leave my boat on match days.

Remember the plan for a mini stadium next door, didn’t seem to happen?

Looking at that picture it looks like it's been built in Great Ayton.

Lucky horseshoe?? What were they hoping to do? Counteract the gypsy curse on Ayresome Park?

There was something I recall about people wanting us to use British steel, but we used German and people were unhappy about that.

There were also plans drawn for redeveloping Ayrseome Park I think.

It baffling how the Everton stadium is costing 500m.

Mega money.

It's an absurd amount of money.
Though I understand a £100m is to cover thefts from the site.

Stoke is another one that is pretty much the same stadium

Is opposed to spurs which cost a billion I think

I think land values might come into play here - Tottenham had to clear an area in Greater London (whatever the morals of how they did it) whereas we got land that was very polluted with all sorts of toxins and even unexploded bombs.

Whatever the cost is is a decent stadium and I'm glad we have it.

Just looked the cost of stoke stadium 14.7m. Even with inflation how how can the spurs stadium (almost 1billion and 500m for the new Everton stadium cost so much?

Has the cost of materials gone up 1000percent since the late 90s? Or is it a just a big tax con?

We got it for 16m second hand.

If memory serves me well, it was going to be built elsewhere.

I think the only alternative site was "the Ironmasters district" which is/was wasteland just east of the Newport bridge. As for the stadium; not sure of its cost to build but didn't MFC pay the TDC a token £1 for it?

Maybe the land,not the stadium. Erimus74 seems to know more.

16.4 million was the cost

I wasn't on about being built elsewhere in the Boro, but in some other town, city, country, etc.
