Baron99 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) Just heard them speaking about it. 5,500 seater stadium with 2,500 undercover. Hope it all works out for them. Keeping the cricket as well apparently. As for the traffic, Woodseats is already a nightmare. People going to the games would be advised to use public transport which I think most will as many will possibly be drinking before & after games. The owners of The Norton & the pubs down in Woodseats will be hoping it all comes to fruition. Being on the south side, I might start going to games when the Blades are away.

Thirsty Relic Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Traffic will simply come to a standstill....even more regularly than it does now! All very predictable, and has been for years. What will happen then? Well, the Council will ride to the rescue with their pet plan that was rumbled years ago and subsequently mothballed - extend the Supertram up Chesterfield Road. With that in place, they can stop subsidising some routes, so there will be less busses for us to choose from. Businesses of all kinds will have to suffer the enormous disruption of the ongoing work to sort this out, and many will fold as a result as there will be fewer customers able to get to them. I seem to remember being told Don Valley was going to be a great stadium for both Rugby and a venue for music shows. That didn't work out either.

Realistically, how much additional traffic is it going to generate? It doesn't look like it will affect rush hour when half of Dronfield comes to Sheffield.

Meltman Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Why not extend the tram track from Gleedless town end to Norton. There is plenty of land to build a track all the way without too much disruption. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
