Chapter 53 Stadium Plan

Soriano was very satisfied with the effect of his words, paused deliberately, and continued: "Our chairman, Mr. Pavis, decided to spend 3 million pounds to rebuild a modern stadium next to the Meadow Lane Stadium. It is expected to accommodate 4 fans and reserve space for expansion.”

As soon as Soriano's words came out, all the reporters were dumbfounded. Who would have thought that Notts County would release such a shocking news.

Let's not talk about the stadium, just talk about the 3 million pounds, how rich is Notts County?

Notts County spent nearly 3 million pounds in the transfer market in the summer, which has already made all fans look at Notts County with admiration. This is not a small amount, which surpasses the investment of most Premier League teams.

After that, Notts County made another big move, building a new youth training base of 7 million pounds, which was another big deal that shocked everyone.

They don't know where the Notts County chairman Pavis came from. Although it is reported that Pavis made a fortune in the size of a small bo before the season, these investments may just be the income of this investment.

But now that the 3 million pounds come out, it's not that simple. Where did he get the money?

Arsenal is preparing to build a new stadium. The current budget is increasing again and again, but it seems that the final figure does not exceed 6 million pounds. You must know that the new Emirates Stadium is a large stadium that can accommodate 4 fans. There are only 3 seats in the stadium, and an investment of [-] million pounds is required. Could it be more modern than Arsenal's new stadium?

And the next question is:

Notts County need a stadium that can accommodate 4 fans?
Although the Meadow Lane Stadium, which can accommodate 2 fans, is almost full and has become the most popular stadium in the League Two, but if it is suddenly replaced by a big stadium, does Notts County really have so many fans?

A series of questions flashed through the minds of the reporters. They quietly digested the shocking news and forgot to ask questions for a moment.

After a brief silence, a reporter stood up and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Soriano, today is not April Fool's Day. May I ask if the Notts County Club held a press conference just to tease us reporters?"

The reporter's words broke the silence instantly, not only the other reporters smiled, even David almost laughed out loud.

We have nothing to do to entertain you uncrowned kings?
It seems that this reporter is definitely a novice. Even if he is not an intern, he probably has not been on the job for a long time. Otherwise, how could he ask such a naive question? It is a waste of the opportunity to ask questions.

Soriano smiled and shook his head, but didn't speak, because even if he didn't answer, no one else would think that Notts County was doing an April Fool's Day event.

"Excuse me, what is the reason for Notts County to build a new stadium? As far as I know, although the atmosphere of Meadow Lane Stadium is very hot now, if it is suddenly expanded to [-] seats, it may be vacant. A lot of actions, so there will be no home atmosphere! Isn’t the gain not worth the loss?” A professional reporter stood up and asked.

David and Soriano looked at each other, and the latter picked up the microphone and said loudly: "The reporters are very reasonable, but you have overlooked a very important detail, that is, the new stadium must at least There is a hypothetical construction period of nearly two years, and it will not be put into use immediately."

The reporter was a little puzzled: "What can that explain?"

"In other words, the new stadium should be put into use in the 03-04 season. I would like to ask this friend, what position will Notts County be in at that time?" Soriano asked with a smile.

The reporters below fell into a brief silence again, their minds running rapidly.

Yes, the new stadium will not be put into use for at least two years. What kind of height will Notts County be at by then?

According to Notts County's current strong performance in the League Two, after the end of this season, it is not surprising to be successfully promoted to the League One. In the eyes of many people, this is a matter of course.

And according to Notts County's current level of investment, is League One their ultimate goal?

Obviously, this is impossible!

Notts County is now called the top lineup of the League One by the media. If they continue to spend a lot of money in the transfer market in the summer, they should also be the most popular promotion team in the League One next season.

If all goes well, in the 03-04 season, Notts County has already become a new team in the Premier League. By then, will the stadium with 4 people still look very big?
According to the current attendance rate of the Premier League, as long as it is not a club that is definitely relegated, the attendance rate can basically be guaranteed to be above 90%. Even those with a small number of attendance are limited by the capacity of the stadium.

As long as Notts County can gain a foothold in the Premier League, even if the new stadium cannot be guaranteed to be full, at least there will be no vacancy.

From this point of view, it is not a ridiculous move for Notts County to build a new stadium. It can only be said that they have a vision and have great confidence in their club, confident that they can successfully gain a foothold in the Premier League.

"Excuse me, Mr. David, where did you get the money to invest so much in the club? As far as we know, before this season, you were close to bankruptcy!"

David knows that there will be reporters asking him this question today, but he must not tell the truth. The United States is frantically looking for people related to this terrorist attack all over the world. He, a guy who relies on disasters to make a fortune, is still silent. Keep a low profile, God knows if you will be suspected of having an affair with the terrorist incident.

"Of course it is investment income, but it is not convenient to disclose the specific investment!" David replied indifferently.

It is not easy for the reporters to ask, after all, this is considered a commercial secret. Besides, the reporters are not thinking about this aspect. They are planning how to write an article to report on the major football event that Notts County is planning to build a new stadium.

Next, the reporters asked a lot of questions about the new stadium, including design, construction and many other issues. The fight between the three players had been unconsciously left behind by them, intentionally or unintentionally. forgotten.

Compared with the 3 million pound stadium, fights are trivial, and perhaps only the tabloids that rely on lace news to gain attention will pay special attention.

Until the end of the press conference, the reporters dispersed as if chased by dogs, rushing back to report first-hand information, and David knew that the impact of the fight had been minimized and their goal had been achieved.
