I already have mate, I'm more worried about getting it built before the next, more permenant milestone.

Bernie the Bolt looks keen as mustard today.

Even allowing for a substantial increase in corporate hospitality, it makes no sense to spend 500m for the addition of 12k extra seats. The RS spent 100m building their main stand to increase capacity by 8,500. 60k minimum should be our aim.

You’re absolutely spot on mate.

...I imagine growing uncertainty and in-fighting within the local Labour Party is behind Everton’s decision to seek funding elsewhere;

That Nick Small is a backward thinking nit.

They've said they aren't leaving the room until the funding gets sorted.

Make of that what you will.

Elstone stated at the AMG along the lines of...if the cost / finance get too silly we will have to walk away.

$AUD yes. They are really getting into incredible debt there.

This must be ominous for us unfortunately. I can understand some degree of inflation in a project as complex as a new stadium build, but I thought that was what rigorous project management was there to deal with and it's difficult to imagine Spurs falling down in that regard. Clearly they have encountered lots of unanticipated problems and I imagine that makes Moshiri very nervous from a distance. BMD seems to a lay person like me to be quite a complicated build as well.

But their stadium is almost built and ours is still a concept.

What that doesn't explain is the sheer number of clubs both in the UK and Europe who have succeeded in moving or upgrading in the last 20 years. You have clubs of very modest support and resources like Espanyol and Udinese moving into what for them, are perfectly suitable and properly sized facilities. I know there tends to be a far more established model of municipal funding for projects in Europe and the concept of a stadium as a shared resource, but it surprises me even more that we seem to be pulling away from the council part funding model in that regard.
