Running Costs HP

Post by lo36789 » Sun Sep 02, 2012 9:46 am

Hi,

Really dragging up an old argument in a sense. But we got the figure to maintain/run the Arena previously which stacked against the rent paid at HP it was a no brainer.

I just want to ask if you are able to disclose how the running costs compare in Heritage Park. Just so we get an idea what benefit having a ground built to the 'right' size will be compared to the initial financial outlay to build one.

Thanks.

The running costs per year at the arena were approx £270k, figures are on this thread somewhere. We only pay rent per game at HP and I have no idea what their costs are per year. Denis and Ian are in charge of planning ahead and I'm sure there are plans to sit down with HP staff to go through what their running costs are.

Its a great ground at HP but we would need something bigger and costs will be thoroughly looked into at every venue we are looking at.
