Bedford Owl Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 18 minutes ago, S1Owl said: Hillsborough looked beautiful yesterday with the sun shining, the greenery, the river, seeing old faces etc.. There's no better stadium when we're doing well.. Yes i am sentimental cos football's all about sentiment in ways Agree with this. A first class redevelopment of the West Stand and there wouldn’t be many better stadia outside the top flight. The old relic should have been nocked down after the disaster.

Sure people have said on here that it couldn't be knocked down for many years for legal reasons. I also believe knocking it down was discussed with Liverpool and they said they wouldn't object Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastern Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 No club in English football have left a ground as big as ours for a new stadium. Arsenal went from 38,000 to 61,000 West Ham from 35,000 to 60,000 Tottenham from 35,000 to 61,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the luxury of being able to rent Wembley and there isn't another decent stadium in the city. There's a cr@p one but we couldn't go there could we? We’d have to use Donny racecourse because every other local club dislikes us for a ground share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No the permission lapsed a few years ago, plus DC was quoted as saying he'd seen the plans but didn't particularly like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Love Hillsborough ,But if we have our ground capacity reduced ,Surely on financial grounds ,We either move to a bigger new ground or develop Hillsborough. The triangle next to the North will not get used again due to SYP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the 70 odd million they have got from player sales instead. Which is probably what has cost them the premier league in the last 3 seasons.
