Proper interesting read this 04 and underlines the practicalities of the challenges involved. There are a couple of holes in the reports. For example other factors to consider are business rental uptake comparably in the area and comparable rental costs of alternatives? Preston as an example might have low availability of quality office space guaranteeing both 100% (ish) uptake and costs per square foot as a premium. 25 year payback in the case of PNE falls within the remit of a mortgage term for example but I am still not entirely clear on where the initial funding is to come from? The model shows the payback stream but it still needs an initial investment? As I said it’s not impossible but what these reports show are that there are significant hurdles and risks involved in undertaking projects of this kind. Often it may be the case that there may be a will but not a way? Hopefully reasonable people reading this would see that supporters questioning the viability of these schemes have a point and any current or future owners might not be displaying apathy through a fault of their own, and are not necessarily killing the club. They just perhaps can’t raise the required capital. What I would question however is why these individuals get involved in the first place? Any road I better get on with some work, these streets won’t sweep themselves?
