Hmmm...positive statement about the club owning its own ground but realistically, even if the "land" was delivered to us for free, we would need to raise 30 million + to have a chance of building a ground. Not sure where Brentford are with Lionel road, but that ground (or the alternative towards Feltham) was going to be backed by a mix of private and council money......maybe there are stll discussions regarding that?

As someone else has said, Tesco have no problem bolting community projects on to mega-store plans to smooth the path of planning permission. I have always said the club need to be at a self sufficent stage of about 7,000 to 10,000 fans to be attractive to other investors...and to own our own ground we would need other investors without a doubt. Maybe this is the year that they actually do something about it with the campaign in METRO............

As examples of new stadium's Chesterfiled FC 10,300 capacity [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B2net_Stadiumstadium[/url cost around £13million to build. Whilst Colchester United FC 10,000 capacity [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colchester_Community_Stadiumstadium[/url Cost aroud £14 million to build.



Not sure that either figure included purchase of land to build on but both clubs owned their previous homes which I dare say gave them a bit of leverage during negotiations.



What did Halliwell Jones cost Warrington when it was buit in 2002/3???



I reckon by the time we ever got around to building a ground it would cost at least £1900 - 2000 per seat for a 10 - 15k capacity stadium.

A new stadium and proper home would be the best possible thing for RL in London. I can't believe anyone would suggest otherwise. Great news that this is an ambition.

Leyton Orient to move into the olympic stadium with West Ham freeing up Orients ground for RL in the east end of london.

No thanks.

Barry Hearn's angling for a cash payment from the premier league or west ham.
