Guest Jack the Hat Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I agree. We would be insane not to move our ground closer to the centre so away fans don’t have as far to walk when they get off the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I like the ground where it is Just needs bringing into the 21st century Lick of paint would help I've always found it daft how Hillsborough Park is next door and the club have never used it for like fan zones or beer tents ect They could make a killing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally how many grounds in central London? None, they are all in the suburbs. Cheeky cockney 2hats! I went to the two NFL games at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last autumn, and whilst the facility itself is tremendous, accessibility is woeful. It's like dropping a national arena into the middle of a densely populated residential area. Getting away from the place was horrendous and involved being in a huge crowd going almost nowhere for about half an hour as stewards and police tried to manage the flow of people, a walk of about a mile and then queuing for ages to get into the tube station.

Busmansholiday Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Just re-instate the trains to the old Wadlsey Bridge Station (station for Sheffield Wednesday as I remember it used to say). Then the poor southern softies will not have to walk as far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moody Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Utah Owl said: Incidentally how many grounds in central London? None, they are all in the suburbs. Millwall play in the inner-City London boroughs of Southwark and Lewisham - South Bermondsey is in Southwark, the stadium is in mostly in Lewisham. Arsenal play in the inner-City London borough of Islington. Chelsea, Fulham and QPR all play in the inner-City London borough of Hammersmith & Fulham. Charlton Athletic play in the inner-City London borough of Greenwich. If you accept that Charing Cross is the notional "centre of London" and the point from which distances from London are measured, then Arsenal, Millwall and Chelsea are the three most central London clubs, all being within 3 to 4 miles of Charing Cross. If you go from the actual ‘City of London’, then Millwall play under 2 miles away from the City of London. Edited August 5, 2020 by Moody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Horse Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Go to London and it's tube time anywhere to any ground. Getting to Hillsborough from the station is in fact probably one of the better and indeed brilliant footy beer tours if they give themselves enough time. Sheffield tap - town - tram to Kelham Island - Barracks - stadium. Get 'em educated!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's away from anywhere rough for reasons. Netheredge is the only decent area thats close to the city centre. Much of Netheredge is a bit of a sh1thole now.

I wonder if they've got somebody moaning on their forums that their grounds are too awkward for away fans to get to... . Both scouse grounds are a fair way out too.
