Subject: Just wondering about the impact of the riverside stand on our ability to compete at the very top.

With all the recent publicity around the riverside stand, being described as the 'best stand in the world' I think by AM, and, previously described by Khan senior as a 'game-changer' for Fulham. Once the revenue starts rolling in, where is it likely to push us to on the Premiership level and possibly Europe?

Will it enable us to sign £40mill+ players regularly (if the manager wants of course), or are we now at the best level we're likely to be?

I don't know anything about business but it seems unlikely that revenue from the new stand would be sufficient to boost our spending on a competitive level to the top 6. (NT) -- Samuel, Wednesday, May 14, 03:33:56pm (NoHost/81.78.226.36)
- Thats the most sensible assumption. It would need to generate £40m or so just to stop us making a loss every year (which I don't believe it will do, or even close) (NT) -- Same Old Story, Wednesday, May 14, 04:46:11pm (NoHost/84.65.41.50)
  - So, in what way could it described as a 'game-changer' for Fulham FC? (NT) -- Straw Clutchers Anonymous, Wednesday, May 14, 04:58:34pm (NoHost/90.205.198.168)
    - Secures our place at the cottage. Increases value of the underlying asset so owners are comfortable with their losses. Decreases those losses. Raises our profile (NT) -- eganonoa, Wednesday, May 14, 07:31:46pm (pool-108-18-149-21.washdc.fios.verizon.net/108.18.149.21)
      - Yes to all 4, albeit lesser so the 4th IMO (whilst it does raise profile, it does so marginally compared to things like competing in europe - and, as example, where we to be relegated, wouldn't raise it at all). Whether those things add up to 'game changer' territory is another discussion (NT) -- Same Old Story, Thursday, May 15, 09:01:14am (NoHost/84.65.41.50)
        Do we 'knot' have to factor in . 'who pays' they now reported £350M cost of this stand/hotel/spa? reported £150M loan taken out with 5% interest. Does this cut into what the Football club gets back? (NT) -- £12m deal struck to run it who pays?, Thursday, May 15, 11:10:18am (ns3065296.ip-51-77-20.eu/51.77.20.95)
