Hillsbrough Park Over Used?

[Jack Grey]

Tramlines and SCC should just ignore the Nimbys

 

Leeds and Manchester would welcome an event like this with open arms

I don't believe it brings much economically to Sheffield, the pub landlord might benefit from a few stragglers but that's about it. You can only buy drinks in the park, not bring your own, so it won't benefit off licenses much. 

£3.8m for a 3 days  event and funds 40 other organisations.

The article says "over £10K goes directly to businesses in Hillsborough, I don't see how when they don't let partygoers buy food and drink from local businesses and bring it in..I suppose the Boot's nearby sees a slight increase in sun-cream sales (not thid year mind 🤣💦)

Bamford has regular bus services from Castleton, Bradwell and Sheffield, as well as an hourly train service. Ample space for parking coaches in the large fields too. Bakewell wouldn't cope, neither would Castleton but somewhere like Bamford or Hope could.

Its called Tram lines

The pub on Division Street is called Bungalows & Bears, it's not a bungalow and there are no bears. 🤷‍♀️

No, there are trains that allow consumption of alcohol and have toilet facilities, much better.

That £10k is just a gift from the trust. The £3.8m is the overall economic benefit to the city.

I'd argue that holding it in spice capital Sheffield is detromental to the publicity of the business

Well it sells out every year so obviously not.
