YO97 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I've just finished my first season with Bordeaux. We had a great campaign and finished 2nd in League 1 and secured a place in UCL. But i 've got a dilemma. We don't own our stadium, instead we're renting it for 3,29M per year. The stadium is a 42k all-seater but we never really sell out except in derby games. Last season we averaged 24k attendance which is 57% of stadium's capacity but i'm expecting that number to go up next season when we're competing in UCL. My question is : Is it worth to buy the stadium? or do we build a new one? Or do i just keep paying the rent of 3,29M per year? I'm not sure which choice is the better from a financial point of view. It's worth to mention that we currently have 27M in the bank (i don't know how much it'd cost to build a new stadium or to buy the current one) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I would suggest that you put off any decision until your average attendances are well up on the current level, which will make any justification of the cost a lot easier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmulv Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Indeed, I doubt your board would let you build a new stadium anyhow until your attendences are at capacity. As for price, not sure on buying your current one, but in one of my saves I got Liverpool to build a new stadium and that cost about 280 million GBP if I remeber correctly (it was 70K capacity) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 You won't get any improvements to the stadium with 57% attendance percentage... When you reach 90% talk to the board, if you see the capacity is small then maybe the best option is to build a new stadium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YO97 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Thank you all for your replies ! I will wait a season or two before making a decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
