He has appeared on TV a few times in the past discussing football finance. Oh god..

S36 OWL Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 4 hours ago, @owlstalk said: Sheffield could get a football museum with permanent exhibition set to open at city library ‘Rare and historically important’ items showcasing Sheffield’s rich and unrivalled footballing heritage will soon be on permanent display in the city. "So many people visit Barcelona or Manchester United, this starts to put Sheffield on the map.” Organisers hope to be able to welcome visitors from early summer. Dr Wilson added: “Longer term this could turn into a fully fledged museum within a revamped library or a stand-alone [site]. "We don’t currently have a great deal for visitors. This is just one strand of a big picture to make Sheffield visible.” Chris Eyre, historian at Sheffield & Hallamshire FA – the world’s oldest county FA – will donate two trophies to the display, including the Sheffield Sunday Schools Trophy, which dates back to 1887 and required players to have attended church for the previous eight weeks before they could take part. Will it have PRESTO painted on the roof to add authenticity? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for sensationalist stuff and can't remember him suggesting that writing a hidden acrostic slagging off the subject of a supposedly professional piece of text would be a good idea!

Billque Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 10 hours ago, Sanchez_Jenks said: Said it before on here. The right brains and marketing could absolutely make something of Sheffield and the birth of football. Make it out like you cannot call yourself a football fan without making the pilgrimage to Sheffield to see Sandygate, museum etc etc. Whether you're Brazilian or Chinese, you don't love football unless you have been to Sheffield etc. We're terrible at promoting ourselves (the humility) but first to moan when we're forgotten (why's Leeds on the weather map and not us bla bla). Council can't afford to do this so it would need to be FA or private backed. Not hard to think of a tour from Sheffield station taking in stuff at Bramhall Lane, Hillsborough, Sandygate, get Sheffield FC back in Sheffield, have a museum. Money into the city, hotels, tourism etc. It could lay a huge foundation if done and marketed correctly I lived in Spain for a few years when the National team were World and European Champs. Real Madrid were European Champs during the same period. , so they brought all the trophies out to the rural areas where the supporters looked at and took selfies off all the cups, ( for a small entrance fee, 1 euro i think ), maybe we could do something similar here ( with fewer cups obviously ) I also toured the Bernabau Stadium in Madrid. If you get the chance, anybody, to do the same, DO IT, the tour was brilliant. What an experience, and what a money maker for the club || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modboy Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Re Manchester museum... Sheffield doesn't have the football tourists Manchester does. Hard sell to get people to visit Sheffield in the first place unfortunately beyond VFR and people visiting events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the Library was getting turned into a Chinese hotel! All up for a football museum. Maybe we could see Pulis back as curator of early football tactics.

Sefton owl Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 About time we had some genuine investment into the city that will not only benefit the people that of Sheffield but also boost the tourism. Most of the developments in the city over the last 5 years or so seem to be focused primarily on student accommodation, which i detest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with student accommodation at all - nothing. To sit pointing a finger of digust at housing that brings millions and millions of pounds into our city and it's small businesses is naive and misguided As for this football musuem thing - unless it's set up right, and the right exhibits put in there, I can see it being a collection of dusty old silver plates and cups, a few football programmes, a rosette and closure after a year Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m saying is that i find it boring and repetitive because its what a lot of large scale of developments in this city have been centred around.
