RevOwl Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hillsborough is quickly becoming our bogey ground. Is it the old girls way of telling us it's now time for a new place? I'm not suggesting we move to the moon i'm simply asking is it time for a new home? She's looking tired and unloved now compared to when she was held in high regard and was first choice for semi finals etc. Lots of clubs are now in the same situation as us and are doing something about it. Even last night's victors have recently moved in to a brand spanking new stadium. I'm not even suggesting we leave the area i'm just saying we look dated now and maybe need a new start that will excite fans new and old and breathe new life in to our club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HighworthOwl Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hillsborough is part of our identity. We should renovate just as Rangers did with Ibrox and Villa with Villa Park. Just my opinion but would hate to see us leave. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Chansiri be able to claim the tax back on a new stadium? Like when you buy a new van or whatever for work, that'd go a long way to balancing the books? Otherwise no, a bit of paint or a big banner will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howards back Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 We have this debate regularly and I always wonder who will pay for this new ground ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Forward Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Scour the entire city on google earth and you’ll be hard pressed to find a suitable site for a new ground. A new West Stand and a redesign of the Kop is all that’s required. Maybe also desist from calling it the ‘old girl’. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I personally think if DC had the money to refurbish Hillsborough or build a new stadium he would have already done it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigash_swfc Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 We're just trying a younger team under the wrong circumstance. Here Dele Bashiru, Hunt, Dawson, Penney etc...minus 12 points in Championship, keep us up and guess what we'll get Aiden Flint to shout at you when you put a foot wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzys Dad Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Why do we need a new stadium? It will be YEARS before fans are allowed to attend games in any significant numbers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arootatat Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Now is probably the best time to renovate . Knock down the lepps and rebuild ; i should imagine the price would be cheaper in the current climate and plenty of options for builders no disruption to fans. Go on Mr Chansiri go for it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshy Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Cladding, lots of cladding. Straight, curved, short, tall, thick, thin. Lots of cladding. Seems to work elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
