There is a £5 discount for members.Sorry couldn't help myself But that would only apply to part timers. A pie season ticket holder on the kop would get his pies at an average price of just £17:50.

On paper, maybe the figures might be right - i'm not sure, I have no where near enough information to say one way or another, but even assuming the financials work out better for a move. I still can't agree. Pick a stand at a time over a five or ten year period to regenerate - that is raise to the ground and start again bringing up to scratch. The stand built for 96 can be last which would be 2026 ish. At the same time, things in and around the ground, including getting things like football busses back on, more reasons for people to stop behind after a game such as on site pubs and restaurants - reasonably priced to stagger people leaving a little bit etc. I would literally try to exhaust every possibility to make Hillsborough work before leaving, I love it that much. Heart over head I know, but I just don't want a new ground. Evolution not revolution, and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will happen though, once we get into the top flight and look like staying there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josesemedosjockstrap Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It is possible to redevelop the stadium to maximise non match day revenue, Ashton Gate is an example. Noticeable the people who advocate a move away from the clubs spiritual home are the ones who are out of Towner's, non natives. Wednesday draw a large percentage of their support from the north of this city and should remain in the vicinity, there's not much space up this end to build a new flat pack that some of you non traditionalists love. A non descript replica of the likes of Derby, Stoke, Leicester or the like on the edge of the M1 with poor links to the city will never hold sway with proper fans.

Few booze trucks in there too LOADS of space and we may even sell a thing or two in the shop as we must sell ZERO whilst a game is on... There may be 1 problem.... The area you have highlighted is full of cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
