The only problem for Blackburn who want to be the giants of the Premier League is their mismatch pitch – from Liverpool's out-of-season Anfield stadium to the dilapidated Stamford Bridge stadium. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, most English Premier Clubs have plans – at least on paper – to move into a modern, purpose-built stadium.

Most of these utopian plans have faltered, either with no money or with the lack of cooperation from local governments.

With Arsenal tightening their belts and building new stadiums, clubs in England are finally starting to realise that they have to build new stadiums on their own, or they will be left behind by their rivals when UEFA's financial fair play rules come into effect.

In the Premier League, almost all stadiums are owned by themselves, and there are not many teams like Manchester City who are extorted a large amount of rent every year to move in, so Premier League clubs with good returns are more willing to build new stadiums than Serie A.

Blackburn attracted an average of 28,000 fans per game last season, placing them seventh in the Premier League.

But it's clear that Blackburn's attendance is limited by the capacity of the stadium: Ewood Park, Blackburn's home stadium, can only accommodate 31,000 people.

In order to accommodate more fans and to be able to bid for major events such as the Champions League final in the future, Arthur finally made up his mind three years ago, and Blackburn Rovers officially broke ground on their new home stadium in early 2003.

After two and a half years of intense working conditions, construction of Blackburn's new stadium is nearing completion.

By the start of the 2005/06 Premier League season, a new 52,000-seat stadium had been erected on the outskirts of Blackburn – the new stadium had been planned to accommodate 56,000 people before construction began, and could be expanded to 60,000 if necessary.

However, during the construction process, in order to increase the experience of the fans watching the game, and to add some new high-tech equipment such as the huge screen above the stadium, Arthur communicated with the designer and reduced the number of seats by 7%.

The new stadium that can accommodate 52,000 is also more in line with Blackburn's needs - after all, the entire city of Blackburn now has less than 120,000 permanent residents, and Blackburn's new stadium may not be able to fill up on most match days.

Blackburn expect to earn £40 million a year from moving into the new stadium, more than double the current £16 million. The new stadium has VIP seating, which the club expects from the club as 35 per cent of Arsenal's ticket revenue is based on 9,000 similar seats.

What's even more encouraging is that 40 per cent of next season's VIP seats have already been sold, and the club will be able to pocket the money before the stadium is completed.

Blackburn Rovers have also successfully signed contracts with a number of sponsors for new courses, opening up many ways to make money that would not be available when sharing the course. With the club having exclusive commercial development rights to Blackburn Rovers as a brand, investors flocked to it. With the opening date of the new stadium approaching, it is no surprise that the club has reached partnership agreements with Samsung, Cartasi and Balocco respectively.

More important than profit and any other monetary issue is that Blackburn Rovers can finally return to a top-class five-star course. Whether it's Manchester United, Real Madrid or Camp Nou, European giants all have a world-class stadium. Whatever the stadium is called, this beautiful building will eventually become the home of every Blue Devils fan.

The reason why it is impossible to determine the name of the new stadium is only because Arthur is preparing to auction off the naming rights of the new stadium.

According to the Times, before the construction of the new stadium was nearing completion, Blackburn had already agreed and signed with Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Investment: over the next 10 years, Blackburn's new home stadium will sell its naming rights, and the contract period and value will be 10 years and 150 million to 300 million pounds, depending on the number of titles Blackburn will win after moving into the new stadium in the future.

The idea that Blake was going to sell the naming rights to a new stadium has been a hot topic in the media, as there are very few cases in football where clubs sell naming rights, and now it's all settled.

According to Blackburn's contract with Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Investment, Blackburn will earn around £20 million a year for the naming rights of the stadium alone until 2016.

The Abu Dhabi international oil company, founded in 1984, is now fully owned by the Abu Dhabi government. It is worth mentioning that before this, Blackburn had just signed a sponsorship contract with the National Bank of Abu Dhabi.

At present, the name of the new Blackburn Stadium is not known, there are two versions of rumors: Rose Bowl - Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi - Rose Bowl, it is reported that the name of the new stadium will be officially announced after the completion of the acceptance of the stadium.

After the completion of the new Blackburn Stadium, especially after the main construction was basically completed, many anxious fans and reporters have "ventured" into it to find out.

Walking into the infield from the periphery of the new stadium, you will find that it is indeed still like a big construction site, and it is hard to imagine that the official claim that UEFA can be invited to inspect the work before Christmas this year, at least to make many people feel very unreliable.

But when you think that the new stadium won't open until the 2006-07 season, no one will feel that time is running out.

However, Blackburn's new press officer, Andrew, said in an interview with reporters inside the stadium that the situation is optimistic, and the reason why there is such a mess in the venue is because there is no cleaning, the construction has been 90% completed, and there will be no problems with the acceptance before Christmas.

Because Blackburn have been so impressive in recent years, the slightest question about the new stadium will be magnified infinitely. Andrew also admits that there are still some details that have not yet been completed, such as the newly built high-rise stands behind the goal, the installation of seats, the iron cover of the drainage ditch on the side of the stadium, and the laying of turf by workers......

"You see, we know very well that we're doing it, aren't we? These were minor issues that we were able to take care of all within a month. You know, we've handed over a stadium that meets World Cup standards to the FA and that's all that matters. Andrew told reporters.

"The FA has accepted it, which means that the stadium is ready to host the World Cup. As for some of the construction phenomena that you are seeing, it is fulfilling the requirements of our club. Andrew said that this will be the new home of Blackburn Rovers in the future, and the club will also move here, so the relevant works are also underway, and these works have nothing to do with the requirements of the game.

"As everyone knows, the construction of our current World Cup stadium has officially started in 2003." Andrew says the new stadium is a huge undertaking and it's been a good idea to be close to being completed in two and a half years, "It's our Blackburn Rovers club, it's owned by our club, and of course we've spent almost £320 million on it. ”

320 million pounds, every time I think of this, Arthur will be depressed, because at the beginning of the construction of the stadium, the design gave less than 300 million pounds, but now it is a lot more than the budget.

It is estimated that the total construction cost of Blackburn's new stadium will be around £400 million when it is fully completed.

While the construction cost of Blackburn's new stadium was not as much as the £470 million cost of Arsenal's new stadium, which began construction at about the same time, the actual cost of building Blackburn's new stadium was only too high when comparing the price of land in London and Blackburn City.

Blackburn currently owe almost £30 million in loans to the bank, which will be repaid over the next six years – and while Blackburn made a lot of money on player transfers this summer, most of it was used by Arthur to divert money from soccer_2006 promotion.

Despite all the debts he was carrying, in Arthur's view, those debts would be settled one by one through the club's management.

Although Blackburn Rovers claim the course will open on time for Christmas, they will still need to be accepted by Blackburn City Council, which will conduct tests to ensure the safety of the new course.

Blackburn Rovers did not disclose the details of the test, but the official fan club said the program will take place on Dec. 12 in the form of open training sessions for Blackburn's men's and women's teams.

The club says they will only be able to sell a small fraction of their tickets for next season until they are accepted, and there are already more than 3,000 names on the waiting list. After the acceptance is passed, ordinary fans of the club can buy tickets for these seats at the normal ticket price.

But Blackburn assured fans on his website: "At this point, we can't think of any reason to fail." ”

Blackburn have previously sold all 27,000 season tickets to their new stadium for next season, which is also a new all-time record for Blackburn.

As the new stadium nears completion, Blackburn's last shortcoming to become a Europa giants is about to be filled, and as long as they can ensure that their results do not decline significantly, it is only a matter of time before they become a football giant alongside Manchester United and Real Madrid.
