On the issue with Hillsborough it seems to me mainly based on regulators and there reluctance to offer a working solution to satisfy all parties. While I moved from Sheffield to Canada 44 years ago I still love coming back and seeing the boys. This might be radical but if the issue with the regulators cannot be resolved then its llke pushing a chain uphill. you'll never get anywhere. Knock Leppings lane down and rebuild it from scratch to conform to all the regulations that we currently face. At that point there should be less of an obstacle if any to having our ground back. The cost of rebuilding one side opposed to building a new stadium surely is more beneficial to the club. Just my thoughts Is Billy the Kid the cause of all this trouble?

Demolish the houses behind North. Reroute the main roads. Divert the river. You’re almost there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better to redevelop Hillsborough imo. It's part of a community where people are born as wednesdayites. We have an association with the area and all the surrounding suburbs. You can't recreate that on what will inevitably be bit of unused land off the parkway somewhere, "'cos it's close to the motorway". We'll become the city's second team naturally and permanently. United would be the city's "proper club". We'd be the plastic neighbours out on the industrial estate. It was the same at Derby but moving to Pride park with all its links has made a massive positive impact on their finances Edited August 14, 2019 by Bluey9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldowl67 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The direction Juventus took when they replaced the truly soulless Stadio Delle Alpi bucked the trend of ever bigger stadia with the emphasis on maximising revenue. With a capacity of just over 40,000 they seem to have prioritised fan experience and atmosphere. I suppose being one of the richest clubs in the world and the best supported team in Italy allowed them to take this route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) New Stadium = Soulless bowl is a bit of an English problem, I think. Across Europe there are examples of more traditional new builds or rebuilds that don't just follow a flat pack template. Kaiserslautern, Mainz, FC Koln and Dortmund spring to mind from Germany. Even then I think it's something English clubs seem to be moving away from. On Hillsborough, I am generally in favour of considering options and I fully expect this to become a very real reality as soon as we achieve Premier League football. The direction of travel is heading that way and has been for years. The stadiums age and maintenance was bemoaned when we were skint, the Leppings Lane issue has reared its head even more publicly in recent years (and if you think this will remain "under the carpet" should we ever achieve PL football or play Liverpool regularly, you're mistaken) and we're all aware of the ongoing issues with SAG. That we have to make considerations to rows of terracing, or a river, or a dual carriageway, and people talk about buying up houses and turfing people out when we discuss structural changes to Hillsborough, should tell you everything you need to know. Hillsborough is our home but it's a stadium that causes us problems - whoever you wish to blame for them - and it's naïve to think we'll be in it forever.

SettleForADraw Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Think the kop is way too tight too and the space between the turnstiles and the back of the stand is just wasted. Be good if they could build to the road and utilise the space properly with proper concourses etc and put in new turnstiles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBQ24 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Did the stadium tour last year, someone asked the question and we were told DC was considering two sites, one in Attercliffe and another between J34 and J35 of the M1. Possibly this site just off Wooley Wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
