Ozzie Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 looking at Google Maps, Castle Market area is smaller than Hillsborough as a footprint. Unless we build up and have a ground on stilts in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Castle area would be relatively easy to access by public transport - though I'm not sure about overall numbers - but absolute hell to get to by car. And that's being dropped off, never mind trying to park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless they can then it's a pointless to suggest doing so Err not been ere long have you. Ideal place is in A1/M1/M18 triangle, decent road access, plenty land to develop 50-60k PL and UEFA/FIFA compliant stadium with full sports /education centre (nick the EIS or make it a speciist sports tertiary educational establishment like Loughborough), retail park, hotels and stuff. Keep donny airport going, must be a train line we can develop a station, make it the pinnacle of sports entertainment in the North. Go back to being The Wednesday FC. Fresh start. Move on Progress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Still always think the area to the north of Meadowhall, runs parallel to the M1, where the big cranes are located would be half decent. Tram goes there, rail links, bus interchange, improve the access off the M1, plenty of land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is every site, including Hillsborough, as various pros and cons to it I suspect the cost of upgrading the stadium wouldn't be that much cheaper to building a new one. Notwithstanding that you can keep playing at one whilst building the new one. One of the fundamental issues is that the past upgrades of the stands have been a bit of a dogs dinner. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
