Under redevelopment the gable was spared for a lot more than pure novelty ! Ah you could be correct, i was going by the 90s stand facade and totally forgot about the keeping of the original gable which i was so glad they did. South Stand apartment for me it is then.

upperwinngardensowl Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 If we did Ieave it would have to be situated on one of the main road arteries in the city, be bang on a tram route, and have lots of fans in walking distance. oh, hang on, we have that already. As far as additional revenue streams is concerned, work it out, it would be a drop in the proverbial. .... West Ham and Man City had their stadiums paid for by the taxpayer, Spurs moved about 6 inches so was virtually a rebuild, and Arsenal stopped winning titles as soon as they moved. Sunderlands is great when it’s full, Middlesboroughs is In a dump area, Derbys is ok but in the middle of a retail park as is Boltons. The Ricoh is used for egg chasers now and was garbage before then. Hulls is crap, etc etc. Let it drop for gods sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common Sense and 100% correct 1) get into the premier league 2) renovate hillsborough as per the original 2018 world cup plans with further updates 3) Enjoy supporting a fabulous football club in an iconic stadium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grez Bez Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Sick of people saying "upgrade to the 2018 WC plans". Yes they were an improvement on what we have now but pretty pants in all honesty. The Kop concourse was still outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those plans were good enough to bring the world cup to Hillsborough if england had been selected so perhaps not too shabby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that the stadium move was the reason that they stopped winning titles. And although they haven't won the Premier League since then, it's not like they haven't added a few trophies to the cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 We need to move from Hillsborough,whenever you put it in google all you get is the stadium disaster,about 50 odd pages,or change the name to Owlerton,as all the old uns have always called it.

Socialist_Owl Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 No way in hell this happens any time in the foreseeable future. If anything, we're going to see teams go bust. No one's going to be building a debt-laden, mortgaged new ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules have been changed and clubs are no longer allowed to move out of the borough in which they are based. Which means we are unable to leave Sheffield.
