Unanswered Questions

Prior to DK's appearance on Harty's talk in we were asked to send in questions. I sent in a couple regarding financing/organisation for the stadium which have not been answered. The two questions were:

What proportion of the funding for the new stadium is being financed by loans/grants/lottery and what proportion is being funded by the clubs owners/directors? Can he give a full breakdown for us?

and

Is there any possibility of the club looking to provide some standing space at the new stadium, are you monitoring this as a possibility?

Any chance of a response? Thanks

1. All we can say about stadium funding is that the project will be funded from a number of different sources (including investment, grants, sponsorship) but to go into a breakdown of the exact numbers is not possible. This is on the advice of financial advisors, Price Waterhouse Coopers, as the details of the funding are commercially sensitive and it would be folly of the club to start releasing this information into the public domain.

2. It isn't possible as legislation in this country does not allow standing in new stadiums.
