Hello,
I have been browsing the forums for a while but never made an account.
I started a save with Doncaster Rovers (my first venture into the game about two months ago).
As in real life I started without a job and the position opened up around October 2012. Via a moneyball approach I was able to make some cash along the way, buying low selling high.
After reaching the Premier League the Keepmoat stadium was upgraded all the way to expansion capacity. 20,231 or something like that. During that time we were playing at Sheffield United's ground, and were selling out around 36,000 or so seats for the big name games. I think this was in 2015 or something.
It is now January 2026 - twenty years after the Keepmoat was built. FINALLY the option to build a new stadium is not greyed out. The only issue is the board will not accept my request for a new stadium.

I have tried every combination of statement under the sun. They continually reject. I have waited nearly 15 years for this stadium to be built. I have to continually sell my best players in order to keep from going under financially.
I have won EVERYTHING imaginable with Doncaster. Three Premier League titles in the past 5 years. Three consecutive Champions League Titles, Three Consecutive Club World Cup titles - not to mention the quintuple I won in 2023/2024.

Attendance is maxed out at the Keepmoat. Given Doncaster's proximity to Sheffield I don't believe the board that our fanbase is not large enough. We are in the top 5 in the world in regards to reputation, I don't know how our fanbase could possibly be any larger.
Basically I am totally frustrated. I have put so much time and effort into this save. Maximizing facilities, training youngsters and I am finally getting world class regens. I don't know how there hasn't been a board takeover yet. The ONLY thing keeping this club from world domination is a new stadium. What do I do?!
Maybe the answer is to move clubs, however the only thing I haven't achieved is to have a stadium named after myself. If I just wasted all that time then I might as well quit.
