Just digressing slightly back to a point Asim made.

18,000 capacity?
I know it's been a while since we had a crowd that big, but you'd like to think we could be back up there before long.

What was the capacity of the cheaper scheme?

think the cheaper scheme was actually higher. its only 18000 because its all seater which tends to lower capacity. plus more expensive scheme involves raising pitch approx 15m which would be about halfway up the current terraces.

It'd be higher than that wouldn't it?
Anyway, if you're starting from scratch at what ever height, why limit it to 18K? Most new builds seem to be prett standard at around 25k.

very little apart from providing the land which as longterm leaseholders we can prevent the council from using for anything else. The council are putting in approx 15m to improve a council owned facility of which the stadium will form a small part as well as replacing the richard dunn. The rest of the money will come from various grants which the council would be unable to attract without a professional sports club being involved in the scheme.

To the best of my recollection, the only thing I have seen on this was from last week's T&A, which stated "The project’s steering group hopes to bring in £18.5m in commercial retail and sponsorship, £15m in contributions from its primary partners – such as the Bulls, Bradford College, Bradford University, NHS Bradford and Airedale – as well as more from Yorkshire Forward." If there hasn't been anything else, we're left with an undisclosed share of £15m.
