Oliver Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Just been having a look on Google Maps for ideas. Given the abundance of brownfield land in Sheffield and the surrounding area i’d imagine getting planning permission for anything on a park, or in close proximity to residential areas wouldn’t be so easy. Is the land circled here still empty? I live in Leeds now, so apologies if something has gone here that I don’t know about. It’s more than big enough for a stadium, other commercial ventures and a car park. No residential nearby. Good transport links. The most obvious downside would be the lack of local watering holes.

The traffic would be horrendous due to proximity to Meadowhall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site opposite the kop has been suggested but it's triangular so I don't think it would take a decent sized stadium. The training ground however is slightly bigger, and might be OK, especially if one stand could be built above the river. Some consideration would would then have to be given to the possibility of flooding... To be honest I would prefer to see Hillsborough tarted up a bit or a new stadium built, but definitely in the north of Sheffield and with good transport links to the M1 at Meadowhall & Chapeltown. Smithywood?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxOwl Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Imagine this on Parkwood we could be like the original kop build it in to a hill or mound of earth completely redevelop the whole area with shops restaurants big chain fast-food A ski centre wouldn't do any business here no everyone goes to the indoor snow domes in Yorkshire and Milton Keynes way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Whatever we do, we need to build a stadium that can generate finance 52 weeks a year. Maybe include a Cine complex, shops, Café/bar's, Gyms etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the latest poll suggests the majority of people think nearer to S1. We dont need to move. Hillsbro is our home . The old girl just needs a little bit of a facelift . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were decent transport links would it be an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
