IF we move grounds, why would we make it smaller? If/ when we get into the prem we are going to need more than 35,000. 

The last time we averaged more than 30,000 for a season was in 1968, we have only averaged over 30,000 for 10 seasons in total out of our 115 competitive seasons in league football, biggest being 1950-1954 peaking at averaging over 42,000 in 1953.

 

We had 8 seasons in the "premier league" from 1992 - 2000 and our highest average for a season was 28,706 in 1997-98.

 

35,000 seats is plenty for now, well 35,002 as i will need 2 seats for my fat arse when i start going again if we ever go up, being a glory fan and all that....:rolleyes:

How many fucking times? That IS THE KOP. Spion Kop - site of a hill battle in South Africa. 

 

Anyway, so many miss the point. You can stay  misty eyed behind your blue and white specs all you like - the stadium is a million miles away from 

 

modern 21st century grounds. And ultimately it's location really hurts us as a club. Our non match day revenues are worse than Rotherham FFS - 

 

because of lack  of facilities AND location/transport links etc. 

 

IF DC gets us to the premier league and wants us to prosper and become a force in English/European football, it WON'T be at S6 .

Sad but true, some people just don't wanna hear the truth, modern stadia are 7 days a week operations designed to make money from non football and matchday events as well as match-days, our current location hinders that...

 

As for football only the South Stand is not a mess and aged, but even than inside the concourses looks narrow and starting to look worn

 

but yeah history and all that ......

 

 

plus i hardly go any more so i shouldn't have an opinion

Personally I prefer old iconic stadiums over the soulless new stadiums. I reckon it would be best to continue doing up Hillsborough and to modernise it something like the World Cup plans from a few years ago.

If we're that bothered about non match day stuff revenue....lets just buy/build an Arts Centre and Hotel in the middle of Town. 

Right near to the station. Double winner.
