I have seen a large infiltration of ironic flat caps in the last few years.

Admittedly there is a team already here but they could relocate back to where they came from in sarf London. Highbury is slightly North of Sheffield. Dont think Fleetwood would share with us anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Tibbs Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) Just before the playoff final I heard from a very reliable source that DC was about to buy a big plot around the airport site near Tinsley. I've heard no more of it since but it would make sense for access, near motorway etc. Hate new stadiums and love Hillsboro, but I suspect it will happen one day.

Geedee Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 8 hours ago, @owlstalk said: yeah All those bus stops and tram stops and uber taxis and city taxis close by to Hillsborough are a right nightmare aren't they This 100% Non matchday activity would come to s6 if the existing stadium was developed properly. It's 3 miles from the city centre, that's nothing, the companies that will spend proper money on non matchday usage will have a lot of people coming from out of town anyway.

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 . Absolutely not true .. Transport links between the train station and Hillsborough are really good. Plenty of buses, there is the tram and you can catch a taxi out there. Sort out Customer parking as well and then yeah sorted, drive to the ground and park up. There were some good designs to make Hillsborough a better stadium if England won the rights to host the world cup. It would take some work and money but Hillsborough can be redeveloped using the space available. It can be done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozripW-FDok although I agree our non-match day revenue is probably poor .. I don't see much in terms of the function rooms being used, the ground hosting local or community events or stuff taking place there. The shop is poor as well but thats been cited for a few years now. Plenty of opportunities for the club to make money but so far, its not being taken in to account and that area isn't focused on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
