Added to my post above - look at the amount of people writhin an hours drive of Toton - it brings South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and parts of Leicester and West Midlands within it.
Within London there is loads of competition yet spurs Arsenal and Wembley all have great revenue from their stadiums.
The lack of competition to host such events in the midlands (especially East Midlands) means that we could be onto a real winner here. If we don’t do it - someone else will.
We just can’t do it on our current site - unless it is enlarged - knocking down the streets behind the brifgford, the boat houses and at a push the environment agency building and we may have scope - but how much would that cost? As well as the freeholds? I’d guess much more than the Toronto site.
