Gunners stadium bill £100m over budget

ARSENAL have admitted their new stadium is set to run £100m over budget.

The Gunners had expected their new 60,000-seater arena at Ashburton Grove to cost around £200m but director Danny Fiszman admitted complications in gaining planning permission had added another 50% to that figure.

Fiszman said: “It is more expensive than we originally anticipated. Part of it have been the obligations which will add £100m to the bill. Without them we would not receive planning consent.
