The Council are moving more staff down to the Shay within the next couple of weeks. The stadium is now more used for non-sporting events than for football/rugby. There are other plans in the pipeline to be announced shortly which will further reduce the subsidy.
Good.
It could hardly have been used for less non sporting events and the council have been largely responsible or irresponsible for this.
It remains to be seen how much these other income streams will reduce the overheads by, there is a long way to go to get into the black and even if they did manage it, would it be reinvested in the ground?
It does not take long if something is not maintained before it starts to decay and their past performance and current "we will not be spending anymore money on it" still leaves room for a big doubt.
