As I recollect, at the forum Hilton said, with all the financial investment available for a new ground, it will cost less than renovating GP.
He financed upgrades at Ilkeston with a loan at the center of a legal dispute, £150k from the Premier League Stadia Improvement fund, and Covid aid money. That added up to £2m at most, and he couldn’t get a further loan, which led to his not being able to afford to buy Glanford Park.
Hilton is now counting on the council and other government entities to supply the better part of £20-30m during a recession. Good luck to him.
