Develop Duncastle’s stadium as a way of increasing sales and profits
Moorsland, the home stadium of Duncastle, is in need of investment. As a new game begins, the ground capacity of Moorsland is 30,000, which is the maximum number of paying spectators who can attend a home game. The Club Shop is also small, limited to the sale of just one product - a Home Strip. There is some spare land adjacent to Moorsland which has planning permission for Duncastle to build a hotel & leisure facility.
