Yes but equally the SMC wont find the approx 15 days of revenue we bring in if we left. The stadium is now old, theyve tried and failed with concerts and it isnt 1st choice for proms, weddings etc like it was when it opened. It would sit empty most weeks if only City played there.
I think a lot of the issues with the lack of use of the Stadium by other & non sporting possibilities such as concerts, weddings, events etc can be laid at the foot of the SMC under the reign of the Allams.
The personal feelings seemed to me to take precident on what was/wasn’t done rather than what was beneficial for actual Stadium. It certainly changed when they fell out with just about everyone involved such as the city council, AP etc as shown by kicking out the community groups from the Arena and all the other tricks that then came along etc.
It was as if the Allam run SMC at that time was doing everything it could to hamper/hinder the Stadium rather than anything positive due to pettiness for not being handed the Stadium or the surrounding land for nothing.
The stadium can not exist sufficiently unless the SMC maximise its use and its something that needs addressing.
