At the minute there's 2 options in terms of architect - there's appoint one and get a new design specific to CTRLFC or buy an existing design such as the Keepmoat which does away with the need of an architect - just the structural engineer (as far as I'm aware).

The Nov-Jan start is the ground stabilization and foundation works, then from then on depending on weather conditions a stadium would take between 9-14 months.

This may be some insight to a few people on here but the cost of a stadium (a basic one) is roughly £1m per 1000 seats, so at the minute there will need to be ~£13m for the stadium at J32 to be built.

Only thing with that is
a. The Keepmoat/LSV or any other design does not have a swimming pool incorporated (thought there is one on the same site as the LSV).
b. They dont have a dirty great big hill behind that will require retaining. This has been allowed for in the original design apparantly as one stand will not be as high as the others & access is from the ends rather than along the stand.
I must admit that the Keepmoat is a good model to use as a basis & can be adapted to suit.
