However there is only one road in and out. SAG would love that. Not practical imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets were on sale at the lane from £150-£200 a pop ,with over 20000 people in attendance ,venues take a 10% cut of ticket sales So the pigs made £300,000 from one nights event ,plus sales on food and drink Rod can dance around like a wee dickk all he wants of it brought that income to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 It's a tough one. Is football all about an endless pursuit to make more money? Or is it the tradition and sense of belonging you get with a stadium that has been passed down to generations of supporters? All I will say is that the ground looked stunning the other day, and a few million spent on it could work wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think in modern football we all know the answer to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it encourage new business suitors to invest in Hillsborough to bring new revenue streams in? Would the changes the ground allow the club to be more profitable? I have no doubt that 99% of Wednesday fans would like to stay at Hillsborough, would it give us the necessary tools to move the club forward substantially, I doubt it. I don't of many clubs if any who regret moving to a new stadium from a business perspective, only one I can think of is Coventry FC and that whole thing is a disgrace in my opinion top to bottom. The game has changed and while history and nostalgia are great, they don't pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassetts Allsorts Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 This was going to cost £22 million in 2009. I believe Chansiri has always said that redevelopment plans are on hold until we get promoted, but would there be enough time to meet Premier League stadia criteria? Is it something the club can invest in now? Got a feeling they are swaying towards the new-build route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown away by the fact that he waited nano seconds for his pints, his curry meal before the match and the the comfort and space. He sent me pictures during and one was of huge escalators in some sort of atrium. I said it looks more like Brent’s Cross and he agreed. Did he enjoy the day out ? Yes Did he enjoy it as a football experience? No not at all. Do West Ham fans feel happy with how it turned out for them ? Will the new generation of fans feel the genuine love and loyalty to a club through this sanitised matchday experience? Be careful what you wish for Not the same with my mates. What was his issue with the football experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it looks like a lot of cladding to cover up problems. (I’m for staying BTW, I’d just like to see plans that build on the modern/traditional look of the South Stand, I’m a big fan of what we did there.

sherlyegg Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have been told by an unreliable source, talks have taken place with piggie bosses about a new shared ground. Milan style stadium for use in the summer for huge music concerts. 65k capacity, best venue outside london. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they were great, but are over 10 years old already. We have no idea if they were ever feasible (ie the north stand entry/exit as per this weekend). Be nice for Lee to fill us in!

Bannofan Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 There's nothing so special and unique about Sheffield Wednesday , that we are not immune from having Hillsborough levelled and moving to a new stadium. If Spurs , Man City and Everton can do it, then so can we. I don't think its necessary at the moment though; there is still so much development potential at Hillsborough ( corners filled in, Lep knocked down and started again) that we can remain there for a fair few years.

If Chansiri wanted to spend the money on a new stadium why wouldn’t he consider making some upgrades to Hillsborough instead? And why hasn’t he already done it? Chansiri has always said, Stadium improvements will come once we are in the BPL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodytheowl Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Flatten and rebuild leapings Lane, connecting to north and south. Open more bars and kiosks in spare ground behind north next to terraced houses. a lot cheaper than a new shizer flat pack stadium out in don valley with no pubs around it. Feck a new ground, redevelop beautiful Hillsborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
