Looking ahead we need to think 90 years ahead.... Something like this but maybe with a capacity of 45k with the allowable development to increase it to 60 plus in years to come (but obviously not within this price range). But you get the idea of the space around the stadium. Perhaps if the FA get a World Cup big accepted in the next 10 years we should start planning then. A big dream but 20 years ago people would have thought you were barmy if you said you could do your banking on your phone. does that belong to nasa?

Guest Hillsborough Mole Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 If we to do anything we should knock Hillsboro down and build a 30k all seater. Don't bother with hospitality because we've killed all that off anyway. And for the amount of times we sell more than 30k it's hardly worth building anything bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highlighted the rail and motorway links and asked you to name the stadia that meet that criteria. I posted two pictures with a dual carriageway by each stadium....I am sure if you looked hard enough you would find many stadium with these facilities.

We can only dream as we are just a biggish regional football club nowadays.... The debate is about transport infrastructure and how the supposed relative lack of it impacts on Hillsborough as a location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 hillsborough will still be there in 25 years time, and likely 50 or more. it will easily survive these 'i want an ikea ground' mkd wannabees, and the 'can we relocate to the end of our road to suit me' brigade. far bigger fish to be fried that monkeying around with the ground location because some want dyson air blades in the pissholes. if you really want to relocate that badly, then ask dc to start a 'ground relocation fund', and send in £100+ a month till the monies are found, i'm sure dc will find this acceptable, if you don't want the publicity send it to me, and i'll forward it for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not with regard football stadiums. Mandaric had some work done and it was costly for us either way but worked out cheaper to move. He was hoping to make money from a move but would not have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

optimisticowl Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Well Old Trafford has been redeveloped more times than Elvis made comebacks, we couldn’t fill our ground when we were doing well in the Premier League, so that’s not an issue, as it was with Man Utd. However I’m all in favour of tearing down the Leppings Lane stand and building something that incorporated the two corner areas. Also could they please cease using the ‘deep vein thrombosis’ seating in the South Stand, that takes a six footer like me a good hour to regain the feeling in my legs. We will have been at Hillsborough for 120 years next year, I can’t imagine playing anywhere else, let alone at Weedon Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
