Did I say it was a free stadium? 🤦‍♂️.The information I gave was from a Frieberg supporter of 30 years....including regular attendance at their leased stadium that was heavily subsidised by the local authority

That is 22,300 seats

The cost was 76.5 million. They have 22,3000 seats and 12,400 safe standing. Not too sure of the maths would it be 76.5/seats which is 3,340 euros per seat. Or the whole capacity of 34,700 = 2,204/seat

CW at 8.02 - as Eric Morecame might have said, re OtD, all the correct players, but not necessarily in the right order. 🤣

Any idea of build-cost-per-seat compared with Plough Lane?

Nope, the majority of the building cost was made by SC Freiburg. An initial 15 million euros (which rises to am maximum of 20 million) plus loans to cover the remaining 32.7 million pounds on a build cost of just under 80 million. They also lease at 3.8 million a year which is paying back the cost of the stadium.

Certainly looks like it, Naz.

OTD - is this photo the inpsiration for the Batsford Arms pub sign?

Sounds like Foyo will start tonight.

Frieberg lease their ground and the vast majority of its build cost delivered by the council (think the club coughed up less than 20%). They have a sponsorship revenue of around £17m? T/O over £150m pa?

Not sure what sort of team JJ usually puts out in whatever competition we're playing v Bromley in later on. With no game at the weekend I hope he puts on a strong show.

They have also managed successfully to a new stadium are 10th in the Bundesliga and are 2nd in the Europa League which means they can compete outside of the Bundesliga - which I know some think is easier for the teams in there but they can compete against the rest of Europe.

It is interesting to see the club I kind of follow as a fan-owned club SC Freiburg has made a change to their fan boards. They have a supervisory board which oversees the paid professionals that run the club and financial oversight. They also have a club council which deals with fan engagement. To be on the supervisory board you need to have experience in finances and/or management - ie what you do is based on your skills.

Maybe there is a degree of correlation between people who want to run organisations and people who want to win quizzes.

Maybe there's an unknown rule 11 that has a portal to the twilight zone...

They took proxy points to win the quiz😂

Will the DTB quiz teams come clean on how they took the first two places in the Alex pub quiz [Link] ?

Current DTB might experience non league boardrooms fairly soon having still not addressed the elephant in the room..

Mahon, Holmes and Cooke are OTD players

The current DTB would have hated Non-league football, where there was a certain pride representing the club. One LSC Match clashed with a Football Club board meeting, and I was asked to pop on a suit and tie, and be the sole representative in the board room at an away match. Regretfully I was unable to eat all the food on offer! The wine though was very good. :o)

Although I wouldn't necessarily believe Fash, Leddy.

Doobs: you're too old for a crack at boyband status, hun.

Not for me Doobs. I have way too much vinyl as it is. Still looking at mounting all my Genesis covers in frames to put up my stairs. I have the CD's but the original Album sleeves are something else
