  • Interesting article on The Athletic on the proposal today.

    Couple of key points for me:

    1. This scheme was devised in 2019 by the Welsh government before the club was taken over
    2. Council report shows 732 jobs created and a 'a gross value-added impact of £54.1m' which is £3 for ever £1 invested. Suggesting they're not paying for the whole £25m
    3. Train station portion of the investment (£8m) will bring an additional 60k people & £3m annually from completion
    4. Part of goal is to bring international football (mens & women's) back to the ground

    It's almost like sporting endeavours can be good investments / community assets of value if run responsibly.
