Sham67 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I live a 20 minute walk from the ground. I still find it a complete ballache getting to night matches. I'm not prepared to spend over a hour getting to and from the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 We need a new state of the art training ground and rehab facilities first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBQ24 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I think realistically any new stadium would be near the motorway network, as one of the main issues with the current site is traffic/revenue in the week. Hate to say it buy I can see it being off the Parkway across from the Mercure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in S25 and every home game takes over an hour to get to Hillsborough and the same back. As for away games, all part of the day out. If you find attending Wednesday games a complete ballache then perhaps take up dominos at your local? Only a 5 minute walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already travel by car to games then being by the M1 would be a whole lot easier if adequate parking. You should try going to night games with a min 2 hour drive each way !

Can't see how being close to the motorway would increase traffic on non matchday's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any of you who travel long distances are heroes in my book. I have to be up at 5.30 every morning for a 45 mile commute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grez Bez Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Ideally around Castle Market but in reality I think Neepsend would be ideal It's all brownfield it's near Hillsborough It's near Town It's next to Kelham Island It's on a train track that could be converter to a tram-train servicing Sheffield to Stocksbridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the latest poll suggests the majority of people think nearer to S1. there's going to be no stadium relocation this side of 30+ years, if you want it any different get your hand in your pocket REALLY BIG STYLE and start the ball rolling, i suggest chucking £15m into the hat as a starter.

It makes a A LOT of sense economically We need to make more money. I think a new stadium would boost attendances as well open up opportunities to use the stadium on non matchdays..

Any move to the M1 corridor would end my 50 odd years of attendance. Can I ask why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
