The East Stand did not tempt Wilder away, or Holmes. It's not going to score 20 goals.
Sandbox all you like, even with a 20k state of the art stadium it's useless without a decent team to put in it.
The whole stadium issue is just a distraction from the issues in the changing room. Neglect that and you'll be watching a Conference side before you know it.
Sad thing is, I genuinely think there's some that would be happy with that, as long as their watching it in their white elephant...
If you are only thinking 6 months ahead, as you say the team is the priority. If you want to SUSTAIN a good team then the stadium is NOT a 'distraction' because you need a viable club. So I disagree with your view.
