As we have said previously, a significant proportion of the FA Cup money went towards paying back the loan against the 3G pitch and most of the remainder went on ground improvements, some of which are obvious but others harder to see, including:-

New LED floodlights
cctv
Additional crush barriers
New turnstile block
New toilets
Structural repairs to grandstand
Enlargement/Refurbishment of changing rooms
Refurbishment of club bars
New club shop
Digital scoreboard
Very boring bits such as asbestos removal, electrical re-wiring, plumbing works

More detail can be found in the company accounts, available via the club website.

Out of interest, does anyone happen to know the shelf life of our 3G surface?
