Re: Cheltenham Town v Peterborough United

I’ll pick you up on the new stand we so dearly need. Why would anyone invest £10m odd on a new stand at a stadium which sits on land which isn’t even owned by the club? It does not make commercial sense for an investor. Also we have just invested in solar on the stadium which will reduce overheads ...
