Wow isn't that amazing, 10m Baht support from the Pattaya taxpayers, and I HOPE the 700m Baht cost of the stadium was raised privately but I doubt it, so all in all not a bad day for the Dolphins. And who owns the team and will reap the main benefit of having this wonderful statium effectively for free, and without debt or finance?

Ah, the Mayor's brother and cronies.
