Well, you're talking pish with the second point - the labour cost would increase by maybe 50% because of the location - but the raw materials would cost the same. You're talking an overall 10-15% increase due to location. Tops. That brings the cost up to something like £150m - factor in inflation at 4% and you have approx £200m.Quote:

It was some sort of goverment initiative to get the lazy no good scumbags of brent working again. brent has high unemployment and high drugs/gun crime rates.
My brother tried to get a job there and was refused because we lived in ealing which is still only 20 mins away . He then tried again using my aunties adress in harlesden (which is in brent) and was accepted straight away because they have a shortage of decent people.
what was on the old millenium stadium site? Did they have to rip down a stadium the size of wembley and then rebuild it from stratch?
transport around there is piss poor to say the least. The north circular is one of the biggest blackspots in the country, moving all that rubble takes time and money.
Well that's their own stupid fault. They should have built the new national stadium next to the Birmingham NEC. Everyone who doesn't work at Lancaster Gate knows that. :shifty:Quote:

Your anecdotal tale of the employment strategy of Multiplex is probably limited to giving the jobs to people from Brent before anyone else. It won't mean a labour shortage.
That really would be mental.
remember ashburton grove is costing arsenal £357 million and is a much smaller stadium. I do agree with you that £900 million is over the top even if it does include that stupid arch thingie.
your estimation of £200 million has got to be a little bit off.

Well, if you work it out per seat.
Arsenal's Emirates Stadium ~ £6000 per seat
Cardiff Millennium Stadium ~ £1750 per seat
Brighton's Falmer Stadium ~ £2000 per seat
Wembley Stadium ~ £12,000 per seat

"I would like to emphasise that WNSL have a fixed-price contract with Multiplex and the total construction cost remains at £757m." - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4731888.stm
works out about £8400 a seat
How do these costs breakdown?
The purchase of the land and early design fees cost £120 million.The basic cost of building the stadium is £352 million Demolishing the old stadium and fitting out the new will cost £99 million.The contribution to local infrastructure improvements is £21 million.Financing the project, management and other costs amount to £165 million.
