This can only end in tears….
A new 5,500-seater stand at The Racecourse has secured £25m backing from Wrexham council.
The development - which will take promotion-chasing Wrexham's home capacity to 15,000 - had an application for UK government Levelling Up Fund money rejected in January.
But the council's executive board has unanimously backed funding it with a £25m Welsh government grant.
Leader Mark Pritchard said the rest of the cash would come from a partnership.

I was actually working with the Council before and around the time of the takeover, on a social housing building project. Won’t give any details, but their finance and procurement team were no more eager to spend money on better quality above standard homes (as opposed to the usual cheapest option new build rubbish) than any other council was or is. Even then they were talking about the investment the takeover would bring to the town.

Depends on the design, materials and size of associated conferences and hospitality spaces I guess.
Pretty sure Southampton's St Mary's cost £35m
