Pale Rider Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Somebody should consider that even if we move, another Don valley move might not be too wise. Floodwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Even though I live in a nice area on the south east edge of Sheffield and it can be a pain getting to S6, it is home and it’s in our DNA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barn_owl Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 There are pro's & cons to both staying at Hillsborough and leaving. If we were to stay I would like us to redevelop both west stand and kop similar to Ibrox (as images) where the lower part of the stand meets around the corners but not completely filled in with seats. This retains the traditional separate stands with a modern element. The corners could be as screens or hospitality boxes along with permenant TV studios. Both stands could either be single tier or 2 tier with boxes between upper and lower and both could satisfy segregation of fans. Ultimately further down the line, this design could connect the south stand with west stand and Kop with stadium control and screens in the corners. The issue's with staying have been well documented and the club would have to seriously think how to increase non-matchday revenue streams. What is is clear is that our home needs serious investment to meet the demands of modern day football business and generate more income both on matchday and non-matchday.

Nero Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I used to be in favour of a new ground if we reach the prem but theres no point any more. Match day income in the Premier league is almost irrelevant these days. It's TV money that generates the revenue which is why although we have top 15 match day revenue we are way down overall behind everyonev thats been in the top league in the past 4 years regardless of crowds. See QPR. 20 30 40 thousand. It matters less and less. We might as well use Hillsborough and keep the atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomtheOwl95 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 It was interesting reading the thoughts of West Brom supporters after the game on Wednesday. Words like 'proper' and 'iconic' were used. Sometimes I think people think too much about the negatives and not enough about the real stand out positives of the place. It's a fantastic place to watch football, moving for me would be a massive mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticOwl Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 The long term plans would be a move away from Hillsborough sadly. It would be cheaper to build a new stadium than update the current one to modern standards. It also wouldnt conflict with season fixtures. A new stadium by the M1 with rail link would be superb. As long as the new stadium is blue and it isnt some bog average Swansea stadium then the fans would eventually accept it. So many modern stadiums have no atmosphere. Bristol away for example. Hopefully by the time we get a new stadium safe standing will be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUMBELOWS91 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Said it before but we should only consider a new stadium if we could build it with good transport access and crucially with a roof. A state of the art 40000 stadium with a roof would absolutely clean up when it comes to being picked as a venue for boxing, MMA, concerts etc There isn't a stadium in England that could host and Anthony Joshua fight in the winter as an example, and the highest capacity venue currently with a roof for any event is under 25000.

theoldtimer Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Ibrox is a nice stadium, but I find the stadium a little bit boring, with 3 sides looking the same, I prefer Anfield and Villa Park. Stand design has come on quite abit. I like this steep stand design for Dynamo Dresden. It would be perfect for the kop and west stand where space is at a premium.

Best new ground I have been to was Rotherham where it actually feels like you are in Rotherham. (Not always a good thing I admit!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
