Lambretta Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I for one would really prefer the existing ground be redeveloped, Hillsborough is our heritage. Can you imagine Old Trafford being relocated? I wouldn't want to move to a new ground with the cold "pre fab" feel of Bolton and the obligatory running track surrounding the pitch and sponsored ground name changing every season No thanks. There were some excellent designs put forward to redevelop Hilsbrough if we won the hosting of the world cup i would like to see those ideas implemented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indoor Owl Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 (edited) Curious to know whether or not the two owners of Sheffield United would lease Bramhall Lane for a season for the right price. Rotherham isn't an option, only 12k, and they own the stadium. Leeds is likely too far away, but they don't own the stadium and might be willing to lease. The only other option is Wembley, Tottenham is done with it by early next season, but without Champions League and PL revenues in I doubt we could afford it.

I think it's been explained on here before that TUF, as PLC, can't just pump money into a football club, as they are accountable to shareholders. And I'm fairly sure they wouldn't approve.

Why don't we stay in our current stadium until the new one is built. Im not sure travelling to Wembley for home games will catch on. Just a hunch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofbert2 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 All people have been screaming for over a very long period of time is a sugar daddy saviour of a chairman. Now we've got one some have decided we wanted one with tons of experience of club ownership in the UK, one who only ever signs players that turn out to be a success, a chairman who guarantees promotion etc etc Maybe some of us never wanted this anyway. Maybe some would have preferred someone local and relatively potless who said all the right stuff as he collected the rent for our stadium. Maybe some people will never be fuckinghappy and prefer the comfort zone of true stagnation and misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I would be very sad if we left Hillsborough. It's the ground I have always known us be at other than looking through the history books. Perhaps there were fans upset at us leaving Bramall land and Olive Grove but we did. DC will weigh up the cost of a redeveloped Hillsborough as opposed to a new ground. I feel the latter will be more cost effective and help with revenue more than a redeveloped Hillsborough. I just hope if and when the time comes we don't stray too far from where we are and the stadium is a minimum 40k with the capacity to expand. I'd even say 45k if we are a regular top 10 side.

IF !!! a new stadium were to be built it wouldn't be feasible to build in the same location, better access, parking facilities etc would be part of the new plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean each statement is obviously open to interpretation, but if we are looking to find fault in them inevitably we will. Out of the 9 or so I’ve read so far, the most provocative was the one about exec boxes i.e., some box holder only wanted it when it was cheap, or words to that affect. Truth be told, the responses have been pretty much what I expected and haven’t told me all that much which I didn’t know or assume. It’s a PR exercise intended to bring a bit of clarity. Those who were expecting Chansiri to concede on certain points or admit he’s been wrong on this or that were always going to be dissapointed. Perhaps that is why the nitpicking is going on? At no point in part 9 does Chansiri state we’re moving, yet some have reached the conclusion we’re moving next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.armo Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I would rather watch championship football at our ground than watch premiership at a new one. They are all soul less and in the middle of nowhere. Nothing wrong with the world cup plans for the old lady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
