It's away from anywhere rough for reasons. Netheredge is the only decent area thats close to the city centre. Admittedly I was generalising a bit. But personally I wouldn't want to live or watch football anywhere between Gleadless/Heeley and Meadowhall.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grez Bez Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 What about Skye Edge Fields? Closer to the centre than you think. Would look great on the skyline! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 If away supporters don’t want to come to Hillsborough because it’s supposedly too far from the City Centre - which, incidentally, I do find hard to believe - then that’s their problem, not ours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Therealrealist Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 41 minutes ago, RevOwl said: I live and work in central London and one thing that's often said to me by pals and workmates during our football conversations is about Hillsborough being too far out of the way when away fans arrive in the city. How they want to have a drink in the town then make the short walk to the ground. They always say that our streaky rivals ground is easy to walk or stagger to but Hillsborough is too far out of the way. They talk about having to get cabs, trams etc. I've even been asked if Hillsborough is actually Sheffield or on the outskirts. This got me thinking about if we was to relocate and how people would feel about a brand new stadium more central to the city and would this generate an even bigger fan base. A new stadium more central to existing and new fans alike that's easier for both home and away fans to get to. What about the thousands of us who live in the northern suburbs..it wud be a right ballache havin to travel into the city centre..if anything a new ground shud be in our heartland..smitywood between ecco and chap is a place i earmarked a while ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greengrass Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Away fans who are 'clued up' will always find a pub regardless. Not just talking about fans visiting S6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not been able to get to many grounds in London by jumping off the train direct from Sheffield and having a short walk to the match. It's not that far to walk to Hillsborough any and trams/taxi's are easily accessible from the station. Not as if southern fans need any more drinking time & the distance will help them to sober up after they've nursed a couple of lager tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though some of the areas round and at the top of Eccy Road are gorgeous. I bet more people from those areas (Including Dore/Whirlow/Bradway) are more interested now they are in the Premiership. I always think of Heely, Manor and Gleadless as the Blades stronghold areas.
