KivoOwl Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Are the club doing anything to cash in on the biggest cycle race on Earth flying past Hillsborough? The route looks like a Pig fan designed it as it goes up Hallam FM and then up Herries Road rather than Penistone Road, but it's still close enough. I'll be on Herries Road viaduct so I can see the Tour and the best stadium on the planet at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Wylde Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If it was going past my house I'd close the curtains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG D Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I was thinking the other day how we should be putting some sort of massive flags etc out where they bear left onto Herries Rd. There's a good chance we'll get some shots of Hillsborough from the helicopters. All the whinging professional Sheffielders are out in force I see.

KivoOwl Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 I knew someone would put 'if it was going past my window bla bla bla'. Still surprised it happened within 30 seconds of my OP though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I don't know anyone that actually cares about this. What would you actually see anyway? A load of blokes on bikes that all look the same for about 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Since when has Sheffield been in France? Tour De France = France, dunnit? Think it has always been tradition to have a stage outside France in the Tour De France. They had a stage on the Isle of Wight one year. I am looking forward to it, be a unique event that will not happen again (and also be free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sheffield council should be ashamed. The centre of town should be lined with banners, flags, yellow ribbons...whatever. At least advertise the fact one of the biggest sporting events in the world is coming to our back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlsfan_72 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 As I put in the oher thread, the level of ignorance is astounding (even for thick Northerners) Totally agree. There's some right moaning pillocks around. A global free event on our doorstep and people don't even take time to educate themselves. The publicity caravan alone takes 40mins to go past and people will have seen nothing like it ever before - or probably ever again in Yorkshire.

Guest Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Some blokes on a bike ride past you Bit like saying we spend our lives watching and discussing some blokes in boots kicking a ball about if you want to reduce it to that. More entertaining from some bands I've never heard of being plugged to death on here......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
