Rebuild Hillsborough where it is but raise it above and across Penistone Rd onto that land as well. Loads of room underneath for parking, shops etc. A tunnel under the ground would mean there will be no impact on traffic and to raise money we can put tolls on the f**ker. Just visualise that. Come on DC! It would mean possibly sharing with the scrubbers for a bit if they'd have us though. Bingo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair after talking to some young fans the one thing we don't need is football to actually watch when we get there... What we need is a ground that caters for your modern fan. Food outlets with lots cod Yorkshire slogans on the chalk boards. "Be reyt have a Sunday dinner tortilla wrap mi love" All locally sourced etc etc. Our own brewery that makes beer with no malt in. Because even though hops were originally a preservative, that's become all people are bothered about these days. Beer that tastes like out-of-date Opal Fruits and has the appearance of flat lager. It should also have a farmers market 4 times a week. It should have a tattoo parlour too and a hairdressers and beard trimming shop decked out in 1800's furniture and offering a shoe cobbling service while you wait. It should definitely have some chump playing decks in every corner of the ground. Because nothing quite says match day like jazz blended with drill. There should be a concert room for annual festivals of music. There should be loads of interactive stuff too like ironic table football games scattered all around the place. A spa and where folks can relax and drink gin (made on site) and prosecco bar for the ladies. There should also be a knitting room because knitting is like, really a thing now, and it's for men and women and is brilliant for wellness. There should be a huge car park with plenty of room for VW campervans and converted Leyland Daf transits. There should also be a burlesque bar for tattooed lasses with big hips. It's about women taking ownership of the image of women's sexuality and empowerment , unlike common strippers who bring areas down. Or something. It should also have some big industrial brick chimneys built in, even though it's a new build, preferably in the twisted Victorian styling as an irrelevant nod to the cities past. All the concourse walkways should have all their cabling and tray-work on show and not have a dropped ceiling in sight. These cavernous areas should be lit in every part of the ground by fairylights to create that ambiance so loved these days. All ale should be served in those dimpled tankards they used to sup out of on all Creatures Great and small. I know that some people might say proper glasses shouldn't be allowed in the ground for safety reasons but that can be negated by not having a pitch or a football team and merely watching young people play FIFA ON giant TV screens on match day. Should also save on the wage bill and FFP by having no actual human players on the books FFS Sorry. I was in a right good mood till about an hour ago too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southportdc Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 You're all boring with your 'ground on stilts' nonsense. Build the whole thing miles underground. Lifts for home fans, away fans have to use stairs. Like St James' except the horrendous climb is after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

114mphAndRising Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 It’s a football ground. A proper football ground. Replace the West Stand and that’s it. I don’t need it to be shiny enough to eat my dinner off the floor. Who really wants a soul-less identi-kit thing like Pride Park ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzard1867 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 12 hours ago, Lord Snooty said: Bingo I'm not sure if these plans are ambitious enough. Once you've extended the MegaKop (C) over Penistone Road you now have the ability to raise the pitch. Below the pitch you now have the ability to build a Casino and Shopping Complex / MegaStore (C), thus binoculars would not be required at the back of the MegaKop (C), as the pitch would be raised and moved forward towards it. Surely we have some architects on here who can draw up some plans and post as an open letter to the club, in the traditional manner? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
