haddy Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Personally I think its in the wrong place. Castlegate area is really run down and many people don't go to that area. It would be better on the Moor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be better on the Moor it's actually a catalyst for regeneration , along with the large tech hub in the same building. Plenty of people go to that area actually.

Plenty of people go to that area actually. Exactly. Plus its easy to say it should be somewhere else but the whole reason it moved from Nottingham is because they couldnt find anywhere big enough. Where on the Moor is big enough? The more people attracted to different parts of the City Centre the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 In spite of some on here knocking it before they've been, I'm looking forward to going to it. Hopefully it'll kick start the regeneration of that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it is successful but the idea that it will kick start regeneration is pants. Its a common phrase used when something like this happens and as with many other projects that have meant to do the same it also will rely on funding which as yet is still forthcoming.

tinfoilhat Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Good luck to them. The ones by the seaside are now full of slot machines and 2p machines and none of the old favourites. I very rarely venture into the city centre but that might tempt me. Hope the floors are authentically sticky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECCOnoob Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 A brand new shiny website but its good to see the old fashioned SF mentality goes on strong.... The same old faithful filling up the threads whinging about "....how nothing ever comes to Sheffield..." and "....this city is always behind xxx..." and right on cue as soon as something does get built here we get ".....waaa its too expensive...." "....waaa it costs money to enter" "waaa..... it wont change anything" "waaa...it looks rubbish (even though I have never set foot in the place)" Honestly, makes you wonder why do they bother. Build a wall around the boundary and leave it to fester along with its rose tinted dinosaurs mourning the days of the great works and Castle Kiosk selling its fags and papers.

Succinctly put, it's like King Canute and the tide sometimes... People whinge about nothing coming here, and when something DOES come here, what do we get? - more whinging ...
