Constructive ideas for Ground Development

[ShotOnTarget]

I understand the development can’t proceed as the MOD won’t sell the access land at a price which makes sense to the project.
I’m interested in learning what the EFL require from a newly promoted club stadium wise (would a smaller stadium and footprint be sensible if we were to get promoted?) and does the existing lease provide for any financial support from Rushmoor should the Shots go up ? I’m guessing not.
Also, would there be bigger grants available to an EFL club to help with ground improvements, rather than a National League outfit ?
It seems to me that the club may have to stay where they are and pay the loans back from transfer/Cup run income rather than demolishing half the ground and building houses on it and deferring half the rebuild for several years.
It would be great to know what the Directors of the club are thinking because otherwise it appears we there is just one objective : get the Road, wait for Wates to build and sell the houses, collect some profit share then slowly rebuild 2 sides of the ground. The only constructive thing about that will be that at least the stands built will be new.

Forget the project in it's current guise. It clearly was pie in the sky, given the obstacles that have appeared with the passing of time, not to mention a plan that got rid of the one asset that sets ATFC apart from most others. The East Bank. Rebuild the current ground stand by stand over a plan spanning 15-25 years. If people thinks that seems a long time, it would have been finished long since had such a venture commenced in 1992 or soon after.

It’s been announced today that West Ham are getting 6,500 square metres of Solar panels on the roof of the London stadium.
The work should be completed by next summer and the £4.35 million project is getting support from the Mayor of London’s Green energy fund.
The solar power generated will provide all the energy required for the stadium and events that it holds.
The EBB has a pretty big footprint and it would be great to see some kind of similar initiative included in any plans.
It is quite possible, indeed probable that solar energy generation could provide greater sustainability into the future.
Such a project may also attract investors towards the club.

I suggested similar years ago. Certain posters laughed and compared it with the 'crackpot' ideas of the FGR chairman. The posters that really don't want anything at all to change and are in reality complicit with the slow decline of football in Aldershot.
