Bighouse 1,012 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Green seats? Don't know about that. This sort of state aid will surely help Linfield overhaul us for most league titles won. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sort of state aid will surely help Linfield overhaul us for most league titles won.Linfield recieve £200K a year from the IFA ,they do not get any revenue from Internationals plus they play for the upkeep of stadium,hardly state aid.

there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I really wish they were filling in the corners either side of the North stand. Still, it'll be a huge improvement from what was there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluedylan 11,555 Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 200k a year subsidy in a part time league? Your taking the piss aren't you?No not really when the rest of the Irish league get money of the IFA and you do know of course there is a salary cap. Btw the first clubs to pay 1000 wages were Portadown and Glentoran. ,Of course Linfield fans and Glentoran have been subsidizing the Irish league for years. Linfield bring 1500 to Coleraine they bring 50 to Windsor,a bit like the Rangers scenario. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windsor is being redeveloped with £25m of Tax payer money, and there's a big difference between the few quid the likes of Crusaders and Glenavon get compared to the revenue Linfield will get. There should have been a purpose build National Stadium Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should have been a purpose build National StadiumSee you didnt respond to the fact Linfield fans have been filling the coffers of clubs up and down the country for decades yet you could fit on a skateboard how many culchies come to Windsor. A national stadium for 4 games a season?BTW crusaders settled out of court with their state aid shite and wouldnt tell any cunt how much they got but said it would benefit every Irish league club Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there is for this size of build.Is it three sides of the stadium that have been bulldozed and rebuilt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 16,957 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It actually puts Hampden and the money spent there to shame. £70 million for one new stand and three terracings with seats and a roof. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
