I think its a work of Art. Especially the North Stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst no one can argue that it does require modernisation, the stadium can still be a thing of beauty, case and point below....

Supporters groups never work here, never have, never will. I agree. Football trust seeks relevancy, that's all it is.

Salli Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Love the Kop, due to it's sheer size and the way you can still see the shape of the hill underneath. Also the South stand looks brilliant from the outside whilst walking through the park. I don't want to sit in an arena to watch football so I'm happy to sacrifice legroom and hipster food as a result 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyCraig Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Tradition is very important for a club like Wednesday, without it we don't have much else. Never once struggled to get to the ground either on foot, by car or public transport. Can't see why this always gets brought up. I've certainly been to other more modern setups where it takes longer to get out of the car parks to get on your way home. I'd say this to Wednesday fans who want to see the back of Hillsborough. No. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I can't imagine it ever feeling right to watch Wednesday at home in a 28,000 modern bowl. Because let's be right, if we went out and built a new stadium in the next 5-10 years it's not going to be capable of producing anything close to the kind of experiences we can still make at Hillsborough. Very few clubs in the country get to experience atmospheres like we do when the stars align every now and then, and I wouldn't want to lose that for the next 5 or so decades at least. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts as well. If the ground were to be sold what would be built on it? A super market, a few houses, flats? As a piece of land, I wonder what its real worth is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbirks Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Guys, this isn't 'listed status' that means you can't do anything to it. Reading comments I think some of you have got the wrong end of the stick. It's a status that says the site of Hillsborough is of community and social value with a football ground on it. It just means it's status as a ground - not in its existing form, just a football ground - is (more) secure, rather than at risk of being passed around to developers to do what they want with.
