What did the riverside stadium cost to build?

[Aet290204]

I think most have nailed the cost, amazing value really.

I remember thinking the Principality Stadium being decent value for a much larger stadium in the centre of a capital city at around £120m. I think we played there once, can anyone confirm this?

I think I spent a leap year day in Cardiff once but my memory isn’t good these days

Has Everton delayed moving into their new stadium to give them the chance to get promoted back to the PL.

I flew over a few months ago and was basically a shell.

Does anybody know what the expected lifespan is of stadiums such as The Riverside?

No idea, I am sure it will be there long after us though.

Unless it is a bit too close to the river and actually ends up in it with the predicted sea level rises.

On a complete side note i also remember reading the new steel eye arch over Wembley is stuffed with Boro scarves after being constructed up here - not that it’s brought us much luck in going there and winning anything yet

Fan who put Boro shirts in Wembley Arch: 'We're there for real'

Boro born-and-bred great-grandad John Knott was working as a plater with Cleveland Bridge when he placed two Boro shirts inside the structure

It's just called The Stadium now.

Or the Riverside.

Definitely the best choice

From memory is cost £15m and filling the corners in cost £5m.

We got 1m for selling the site of AP.

19m for a 34k seater stadium is a bargain.

The new Everton stadium is going to cost 750m.

We sold the plans to Derby for their stadium too! Not sure about Darlington Stadium.. but it looks similar.

10 year sponsorship.. £3m

Did we get sone lottery funding? Sone regeneration funding?

Could do with another sponsorship deal!

Definitely the best choice

Almost as if someone in PR at MFC knew the public wouldn’t go for the other three choices….

I seem to recall the TDC ( the government quango at the time) paid for the land including remediation and the roads drainage etc.

Well that sounds bent af. Was it labour or Tory council then?

 

[Jedi boro]

The TDC obelisk is still there

wasn't a council but a quango. Set up by margaret thatcher

 

[YouAreMyBoro]

I know lads who worked on it in situ and said Boro lads filled it with shirts, scarfs, etc. before the last weld sealed it up.

They'd have been screwed if they tried that nowadays, it would have had to have been filled with emailed stock notifications instead

 

[Sheriff_John_Bunnell_ret]

It actually cost Tree Fiddy.

 

[Redwurzel]

£16m initially and I think £6m for the corners in late 1998.

I would like to see the outside cleaned or resprayed. Its almost light grey now and originally was bright white.

 

[The_Big_Woodowski]

Was it not so cheap because we got the land for a pittance?

The Everton one from memory they have had to reclaim land and either some of the bigger so called big 6, they have had expensive land purchased in high value land areas ..

But still I think the same for something that will be used to capacity for less than 30 days a year it’s some big investment
