I think the club will be disappointed if it thinks it will suddenly have that 500-600K rolling in next season, it will be a gradual increase. I expect that long term the ground can generate that kind of money but it won't happen straight away, like any other business it will take time to build up clients and build a reputation as somewhere to go. Companies and people already have there 'go to' places for events who will offer incentives to stay with them and to get them to change will take time and may well likely involve throwing a few discounts around in the first instance. Obviously that will effect the revenue gain in the short term but should allow for long term gain. It will hit next year though. Also the repayment part of the loan rather than just the interest payments kick in once it is operational so some of the funds will head that way and we will also all of a sudden have a CEO to pay for and decent ones don't come cheap. Tv money will all but disappear, sponsorship value will decrease and crowds (along with ticket prices) and food/wet sales will reduce. It will be a fair task to build a top end championship team next year thats for sure.
