It will provide a 5 - 7 day a week income instead of the once a fortnight we have now as well as allowing for the necessary changes to the dressing rooms and new matchday bar that doesn't leek.
The club aren't spending £500,000 on it, a lot of it is grant funded. So as well as the unseen benefits of bringing people to the ground on a midweek afternoon who may take an interest in the club it will be a regular income. It certainly won't make millions but any profit it does make will be welcomed and will allow us to actually maintain the ground for example and maybe even increase the playing budget as well.
One thing is for sure, we can't keep on pouring every penny we have into the playing budget for another 10 years or the ground will crumble around us. We have to invest in the future as well as chasing the Conference dream.
We should be very grateful that people have put years of work into giving us a chance to build something like this, I don't see it happening at many other grounds, even the ones with millionaires.
It would be very Alty to find some negatives of course..
