How much is the Macron stadium worth IYO?

It has to be 100 Million doesn't it?

£200 mill

£25m

depends entirely on local zoning regulations determining what can be built there

As a sports stadium it's probably got  an insurance value of about 20-25 million- the cost replacing it if it burnt down.
The real value is the land under it- and as Manda says, that depends on what can be built on it. As a sports stadium it would be virtually worthless if the Wanderers folded. Who would buy a redundant stadium?

But if we got a buyer he/she has a fantastic state of the art stadium worth a lot of money.

Probably a few Grand in Scrap

Only as a going concern as a sport stadium. There's a market value for your house as there constant demand for residential property and generally they sell reasonably quickly.
There's not much demand for football stadia - and the value will be discounted because of that.
If BWFC survive its a valuable asset; if they fail then its worth nothing as a stadium

Not a lot when it's completely empty week in week out.

As above. If the stadium had to be sold it would probably be because there was no team.  And who wants a stadium which nobody plays at? 
It would cost a million quid to knock it down.

What has that got to do with anything?

It's worth whatever anyone is willing to pay for it and is others have mentioned, there aren't many people in the market for a football stadium. I'm assuming the value in the stadium is a large part of where EDs money went to - and why potential buyers are thinking they might pick up a bargain if ED writes the debt off.

Exactly. As a sports stadium WHO the fuck will want to buy it? Does anyone think Wigan or Bury etc will want it? Thats why its a white elephant, it aint an asset at all without BWFC. Its only value is the the land it sits on, and even then its only going to be retail there. I never did like the move to Horwich or even the 2nd hand Mcalpine stadium design.
I'm still waiting for the 'fans consultation' that we were promised at Burnden.

Chorley have the potential to fill it. Bit soon for them to buy the stadium right now, but give it a couple of years. Trevor Hemmings could buy all of Horwich if he wanted.

Given the state of Wigan's pitch on Friday night I'm sure either or both of those teams would give an arm and a leg to play at the Macron?

I am not sure if anyone is aware of this but Darlington built a cracking stadium back in the early 2000s but Darlington eventually ended up folding. The end result - there is a great stadium practically derelict, a few concerts happen now and again. The point is, how much is a stadium worth if there is nothing to fill the seats every other week? Next to nothing.

Is that where you bury the bodies?
