4 When a prominent football club, whose shares were listed, announced that it was to build a new stadium on landnear to its old stadium, opinion was divided. Many of the club’s fans thought it a good idea because it would be morecomfortable for them when watching games. A number of problems arose, however, when it was pointed out that theconstruction of the new stadium and its car parking would have a number of local implications. The local governmentauthority said that building the stadium would involve diverting roads and changing local traffic flow, but that it wouldgrant permission to build the stadium if those issues could be successfully addressed. A number of nearby residentscomplained that the new stadium would be too near their homes and that it would destroy the view from their gardens.Helen Yusri, who spoke on behalf of the local residents, said that the residents would fight the planning applicationthrough legal means if necessary. A nearby local inner-city wildlife reservation centre said that the stadium’sconstruction might impact on local water levels and therefore upset the delicate balance of animals and plants in thewildlife centre. A local school, whose pupils often visited the wildlife centre, joined in the opposition, saying that whilstthe school supported the building of a new stadium in principle, it had concerns about disruption to the wildlife centre.The football club’s board was alarmed by the opposition to its planned new stadium as it had assumed that it wouldbe welcomed because the club had always considered itself a part of the local community. The club chairman saidthat he wanted to maintain good relations with all local people if possible, but at the same time he owed it to the fansand the club’s investors to proceed with the building of the new stadium despite local concerns.Required:(a) Define ‘stakeholder’ and explain the importance of identifying all the stakeholders in the stadium project.(10 marks)
