I think my son enjoyed it in South Stand. The noise was unbelievable when the goal went in. Was checking Reading score after final whistle which could be crucial.

AH, but if you put a roof on it and install clever ways of covering the pitch you could have large concerts there during the football season, making Pride Park worth £80m as a unique venue. I mean, none of that ever happened.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, none of that ever happened.......... Yep, there’s options. It depends on how much they cost. As it stands it has potential as a big arena tour location during summer but I think, as @angierammentions, a lot more could be done to make it a conferencing venue and community asset.

Rammeister Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 The council wanting to purchase the stadium would certainly force Mel Morris into showing whether he is serious about selling the stadium or not. If not, then he gets rumbled as wanting to continue to be involved in what is left of the club in some capacity or another. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atherstoneram Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 2 hours ago, Curtains said: Yes of course I understand the dilemma for the council regarding Tax payers money and excess regarding insurance costs . The fire was very unfortunate at the Assembly Rooms but it was getting somewhat dilapidated. I just think over a period PP and DCFC will be well worth saving as DCFC is definitely a community asset and buying and leasing initially is a very good option It might not come to fruition but I sure hope it does . It is not a community asset in the true meaning, i don't think MM would agree to a giant party being held there for the people of Derby to attend for the Queens upcoming anniversary. It is only a community asset in the sense that if the owner wants to change the use the council have to agree. It doesn't belong to the public, it belongs to a multi millionaire.

atherstoneram Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 2 hours ago, Curtains said: Totally agree but the MSD loan against the Stadium appears to be the MM issue regarding this as he would have to take a 20 Million hit allegedly. I see the Council as being a lat resort option but unfortunately we are getting to that point . If the PB was given the buy back option at a later date within contracts then I don’t see an issue other than lease charges Why would they want to buy back later if they are not prepared to pay for it now,it is not down to the council to sort out MM's mess.

curb Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 3 hours ago, RamBeauIV said: That Boro article further up the fred stated that in 2019 the Riverside Stadium costs £8.9M per year to run. PPS must be similar or even more (as we've got running water inside our stadium). Makes the lease quite expensive and a liability. Also, if MA does come back in with an offer, will all council tax payers be happy to financially support a billionaire? If they buy the stadium, or even get given it, they would still have those running costs. After all that’s happened with Mad Mel I’d prefer the stadium in the hands of the community anyway, it won’t be so messy then the next time we go bust.
