Houses alongside etc Obsession of us moving away I have found is driven by blunts, toytown etc. Not met 1 Owl yet who would want to move. Those saying we should move to a small soul less bowl can just fuck off, it shows zero ambition and can't see why any Wednesday fan would want that. Again it smacks of what rival fans, mates say to me Short term, move Lepp gates back a bit and have the kiosks outside. Let em get pissed on whilst they get a drink. See how "intimidated" they get then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyOwl Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Why don’t they move away fans to half of grandstand or T block end of north and redevelop the west stand for home fans in the future. Just a thought We give far too many away tickets and give them a voice on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving families from their dedicated area is a bad move IMO, and as for the north, the infrastructure in the gangways doesn’t allow for that.

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I don’t think finding a site for a stadium within a say 5mile radius of the city centre (the train station) is actually that easy or straightforward. The problem being, if you hadn’t noticed 😂 the city is built on hills, has several rivers and tributaries and is seeing some redevelopment already. SomI doubt there is a suitable site that would be attractive. Redevelop the existing site would be my vote. In reality it’s all hypothetical and not happening any time soon. If it was up to me, knock the stand down and leave an open terrace with the lower seats only. Give them something to really complain about until we can afford a new stand!

We'd probably not be given that option. We've had one horrific flood - luckily out of season - and despite substantial work up on the moors to the west to stop heavy rain running straight off, we came so close to being flooded again quite recently. (Was it Winter 21/22?) The river rediscovered it's original course in 2007 and presumably would affect any future major plans for the existing site. Who would want to insure the place, for instance?

The irony is the Stadium at MK is only a soulless bowl because they are getting about 8k on average. People simply do not have the intelligence to realise that put 25k regularly in its suddenly not soulless. I mean I would accept the argument if Hillsborough on most matchdays did not resemble a morgue atmosphere wise. The Newcastle game being the exception to the rule in recent times. If Wednesday did ever relocate a version of Stadium MK is what we would get. Not the Spurs ground, not even the Everon one The footprint of Hillsborough is always going to be the restrictive factor. I mean the suggestion to move the turnstiles back toward the river on the West stand side smacks of folk not grasping why they were shifted in the first place.

EBRA Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Getting Hillsborough back to a regular 40,000 stadium would be sufficient. That would mean a redeveloped Lep. If we maximise the back of the North for a greater dedicated fan-zone experience / remove the gym and relocate the shop / ticket office to across the road into one of the retail units to be built / already existing where screw fix is - this would free up space. Removal of the gym and laying it out differently would allow a new exit route from the North. That in turn relieves the pressure from behind the Lep and allows for new enhanced designed to accommodate more fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knock Lepp and build similar to WC bid but I'd level area up to bridge and fireplace centre. Use tunnels/ great big tubes to ensure the watter can't go anywhere near the ground. The Don isn't attractive to look at whenever I look over, Just have it underground near the Stadium and encapsulated so it can't cause any issues.

Tank_Owl2,0 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Castle market site. I can’t recall how serious the park plan is or if it’s simply one of those ideas based on we can’t think of anything else to do with it. In relation to the castle ruins, that could be solvable depending on where they sit in relation to the pitch, ie these things can usually be incorporated into the building foundations. It’s an interesting thought but somehow suspect would never get off the ground because a) we aren’t in a position to do anything currently so it would probably mean something will be done with it before we are ready and b) I suspect there would be huge planning conditions attached with it which would probably make it as or more expensive than simply just redeveloping Hillsborough. The point re flooding at Hillsborough. As someone that used to work for the Environment Agency, I doubt we would be allowed to culvert the river, but I do think we could put defences there that would reduce th risk, but it would largely be at the clubs cost - otherwise it could be seen as subsidising the club.
