THE Wanderers' new stadium at Horwich will cost more than £30 million and it should be money well spent.

Not only is spectator comfort at the forefront of requirements - the all-seater stadium will accommodate 25,000 - but safety has been paramount throughout all the planning stages.

Wanderers' proud boast is that it will be the most expensive new stadium built in the United Kingdom. It will also be something of which the club and the town should be justly proud.
