hsb98c Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Over to you LeMaquis. LMAO - I notice you waited patiently for someone else to post this link so you could jump on it later in the thread. Very nicely done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafodil Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'm surprised that we've gotten to a state where people question everything someone in the council does with no proof. Since the possible closure was discussed months ago, I'm sure a lot of people have thought of alternatives that they could do with the land/existing buildings. But if the council was to spend money converting it, they'd be accused of waisting public money... Since when has Richard Caborn been part of the council.

hsb98c Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 It seems as though the decision to close Don Valley was possibly taken three months ago. Richard Cabourn who was one of the original organisers to build the white elephant Don Valley now seems to be organising to rebuild it again as a Rugby Stadium . If this is true then all the recent council meetings to close the stadium presumably to save money was a load of bolony. As usual. You also like going back three pages of text and mis-reading it. An expert Troll. Two things: I never never talked about Caborn in my original post Your original accusation was against the council - that they'd already agreed this and that the reason for closing the stadium was 'bolony'. Keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nicely done... I do not need to look for facts from else where as I have been around the Sheffield socialists:hihi:and their schemes from the beginning. I was once sat in the Tea Gardens pub when a prominent socialist member of the council jumped up telling all and sundry that he had just discovered a million pounds surplus funds that they didn't know they had. He is an M.P. now living the life of Riley on a nice little country retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I am wrong but I get the impression that you are getting personnel, have I perhaps hit the nail on the head somewhere along the line.

That the council announced months ago that they were looking at closing the stadium? ---------- Post added 12-03-2013 at 16:48 ---------- Forgive me if I am wrong but I get the impression that you are getting personnel, have I perhaps hit the nail on the head somewhere along the line. Nah - not personal. How is asking for facts personal? Asking which street you live on - THAT's personal. I've nowt to do with Caborn, the council or what plans are in place for Don Stadium. I've not been there for 10+ years. I just love a good Troll session and have some time in my hands while I wait for something to finish before I can move onto something more interesting.

Steptoe Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 That's why a 10,000 seat rugby stadium fitting on 1/3 of the plot of DVS is a great idea - it is sustainable. If it's built with an artificial pitch (as is likely) it can be used throughout the day, every day of the year. DVS is an aging stadium which would never again have seated 25,000 paying spectators for a rare athletics meeting. Freeing up so much land by building a new rugby stadium will also allow other investment onto the site. I personally wouldn't be bothered if it was a new Sainsburys and housing so long as it paid its own way. It sounds as if the universities and other bodies with money to spend are definitely interested in the land, though. whys a 10.000 seat rugby stadium a great idea? when the crowds are 1,000, 1500 tops.

RobWilson Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Why's a 10,000 seat rugby stadium a great idea when the crowds are 1,000/1500 tops? Because if they built a 1500 seater stadium then Eagles would never be allowed into the Superleague and the Titans would never be allowed into the Premier League. Personally, I'd start by building a stadium with a smaller capacity but with the plans to build further stands when necessary. To do that you'd need to plan the layout of a 10000 seater stadium anyway. If the clubs can come up with the money to build the stadium in one go, all the better. Perhaps they might look to build offices in all 4 corners of the ground to generate income? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your point, but the eagles crowds are never going to be big, pity really, maybe try and get yorkshire to play cricket again in the city.
