Heard some good ideas like a museum and pub. Should the club investigate possible uses, or should it be left as is for now, until we've got a decent team sorted out? EH could be used as collateral for a loan? I don't know if anyone's thought about that, or if it's been done before. Then they could turn the loan into shares. The club would then regain ownership of EH, and do it all over again. Rinse and Repeat. ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a certain Spanish city's calculator, about £25million? If only we could get some dodgy loan deals, like another club, based in Glasgow, but thinks it's Irish? I hope you have noticed, by now, that I was not being serious. EH is just a big waste of money, although the club, probably, don't have the cash to get it sorted into whatever they want to do with it. If EH was a player it would be Jordon Rossiter. If Jordan was a building, he would be EH.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copland bear 7,966 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 They should flatten it and build a new big pub, with a place to dine and drink above that and a museum on the top level. Why should we not take a slice of the money our fans spend before games ? And a dining area would be booked out on match days as people would drink while having a meal. I see it as space we should do something with to increase our revenue Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make money from it. Why not just a carpark and charge a match day fee for using IT, our hard of walking fans can use the many spaces at the back of the SJS which would cut out the longer walk. Why people make a rod for fellow fans by using the word k DIsabled Isnt nice. We could have an ugly fan carpark so you could have a space right enough .

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It has to be converted into a money generator, whether that be a fan zone like Man City have or even a rentable pitch or pitches. I like the Man City idea; it isn't a pub, it's almost festival-like, but under-cover and modern looking with a bar and a big screen showing highlights, match coverage, etc. It's mobbed every single week, as far as I know.
