Paolo Di Catio Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 We could build a stadium on top of park hill flats. Easy access for all and could properly regenerate the area. Could have a touch of Monaco? / Marseille ? with car park underneath etc. Would also look classy with the Real Madrid style tunnel entrance from below AND we'd never get flooded again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want to be a ballboy at your new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BRADFIELDOWLS Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 All clubs that have built new stadiums in UK have then gone down the pan, Bolton, Coventry, Southampton, Leicester, Wigen, etc. Even Arsenal, who haven't won the league for ages and still can't afford a decent striker. Plus.not one of these places has a decent atmosphere - except Wembley when OWLS play. No thanks. Better offf sorting club's commercial and retail sides first, and finding new training ground - suggestions anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree I think updating Hillsborough is by far the best plan, however if we are to move it should be in the centre other than an out of town souless bowl. As everybody else has upgraded it's made Hillsborough more iconic due to its history. A castle is a castle until its the last one left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per new training ground, what's happening with the old Presto site? Looking around the area on Google Earth, there's land around the old monkey works down the road. Dunno how old the Google pic is. Land also available just across the river from it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, Southampton and Bolton,Wigan and Leicester badly needed new grounds. we don't need a new stadium. Just some modernising of our current one.

There is a £5 discount for members.Sorry couldn't help myself The difference here though is that the club knows that there is no alternative for us when it comes to watching Wednesday, and is prepared to exploit that ruthlessly. The fans are the masters when it comes to catering. If they don't sell what we want at a price that we are prepared to tolerate there's no sale. Even if they don't see that now, they soon will, when they lose the comfort of the current contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not get carried away with the image. I said a stadium in the city would be greta, not this exact stadium that i nicked from goole images and coloured in in paint would be. With any building parking would be part of the plan. Hillsborough isnt exactly a car parking utopia!
