HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Benidorm Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_forgotten_city Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Free parking probably was but you could use the Arena parking and Don Valley Bowl. The only reason I said Don Valley was because of the way Man City got lucky with the Commonwealth Games stadium but then I remembered Sheffield had already been in a similar situation only we didn't know how to use ours and bulldozed it!

tomhollywood Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Do people think the ground is an issue for potential buyers? I'd move if it helped the clubs future. We've done it before, just not in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Please don't let this descend into another fishing thread. I'm not fishing mate, it's my argument for staying put. Name one new ground which isn't a morgue. Admittedly so is Hillsborough but that's down to 15 years of kak and a brass band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattitheowl Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Somewhere near Tinsley. Shepcote Lane. Tram and M1 close by. Loads of flat, vacant industrial sites. If you look at all the medium sized clubs that have enjoyed relative success over the last 15 years, most have them have had new stadiums. The clubs that have done well are the ones who have had big money backers, not just built new stadiums. Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 There are plenty of accessible locations. Lack of pubs and surrounding businesses would be an issue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archieswfc Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Britannia Stadium. Good call. You see my point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakefieldowl Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 What a tremendous photo, why the hell would any club want to move away from that?? Plus is would absolutely skint the club. £2-4 million worse off per year for 25 years... Best spend much less on upgrading the stadium we have, much better commercial sense, quicker payback and you keep the heritage. I agree yet there's regularly a thread on here saying we can't compete with clubs with new grounds because hillsborough costs us too much I'm confused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattitheowl Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Good call. You see my point though. You asked me to name one and I did, what point? I agree yet there's regularly a thread on here saying we can't compete with clubs with new grounds because hillsborough costs us too much I'm confused We can't compete with clubs with massive budgets and billionaire owners who pump the club full of cash. The grounds are effects, not causes. Just not bothered... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archieswfc Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) You asked me to name one and I did, what point?That as a rule they're 5h1te. You named one, well done. I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from. It wasn't a competition. Edited January 21, 2015 by archieswfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But most of the teams who've moved had sh*t old grounds too. It's the fans that make the atmosphere not the ground. Generally they are crap when empty (like all grounds) or very new and the fans haven't found their natural groups yet. Just not bothered...

Admittedly so is Hillsborough but that's down to 15 years of kak and a brass band. The fishing quote was all to do with soul being spelt sole. I smelt something fishy with that. Don Valley had one huge 10,000 seated stand. Might not have cost much to move the pitch and build 3 smaller stands to give around 30 thousand capacity. Too late of course now. I like Hillsborough but it is cramped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They buy a ST and stick with it because they get comfy. The grounds have no history so a singer has no idea where to sit. It then becomes hard to move people who are happy where they are when the singers want to create a singing section.
