Utah Owl Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Immediately behind the North Stand there are 36 houses on Vere Rd which back onto the ground. I know back in the '80's we owned several of these, does anyone have any idea if that is still the case and if so how many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richowl Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Not sure if we do now but heard they'd already looked into the possibility of acquiring the lot.(stadium expansion) Not sure how far enquiries got and there's plenty of factors involved most notably the potentially huge cost & the fact people may not want to sell Edited April 29, 2016 by richowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Checked on Zoopla and the asking price for houses of similar type in the area is c 110k so 4-4.5 million for the lot. Was thinking in terms of a couple of them at each end of the street to give improved access and better segregation for the North stand and NWC as a starting point.

Dan™ Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I have no idea if it's true, so I hope I'm not spreading baseless rumours, but I remember reading that at least some of those houses are now owned by Paul Aldridge. I saw it mentioned on Owlstalk a year or two back, so hardly the most reliable of sources Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) I'd rather be in Sheffield (well this weekend at least)! In truth I'm a boring old fart with too much time on my hands. Edited April 29, 2016 by Utah Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it mentioned on Owlstalk a year or two back, so hardly the most reliable of sources He may own some on Vere Road, I don't know, but the ones I recall mentioned on here were on Penistone Road immediately after the club shop and before the newsagents. He definitely bought one or some of those from the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 My mate Brian lives in one of the houses behind the north Can't see him wanting to sell, he's just laid a new lawn. 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...

hasthagotanycheese Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 If we own four houses, we could build a hotel threre. So if anybody lands on Vere Rd they would have to pay a large amount of rent. Maybe this could help with FFP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to read hasthagotanycheese post again. I dont have a monopoly on intelligence but I think the old kent is joshing about the four houses and a hotel.
