Who is going to pay for that?

The same people who would pay for a route up Chesterfield Road, who else!

It will be the same people who pay for the modified roundabout, the same people who are paying for the Heeley bottom improvements and all other work which is taking place or may do in the future.

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.

My bold. 

 

The problem with Don Valley is it was what it was, an athletics stadium.  I used to go down there to watch the Blades reserves & it was quite frankly pants.  The players were so far away.  Plus most of the seating was uncovered.  Ok if you were there for an athletics meeting in the middle of summer, not great for a football match in mid January, with the wind & rain blowing in. 

 

The SAS could have used it for Arctic training.

Sheffield needs to drive this project forward now and disregard the doom and gloom naysayers!
Support this SCC instead of daft shipping containers.

So, a non-league football club with very small crowds does a great PR show and hoodwinks most of us into getting them a prime site, building a big stadium, getting them memorabilia from SUFC, SWFC etc to create a stadium and museum with very little parking spaces for the crowds, all in an area already blighted by traffic problems, and we are meant to all fall in line and applaud SCC for backing it?

 

And when it is built and we get gridlock when they hold evening gigs in it to pay the bills , the same people will be lambasting SCC for their part in it all!

 

There is something we're missing here though - the brains behind all this needs to be identified and given a major role somewhere.....  if they can pull this stunt off  - and if anybody can sort out world hunger, climate change etc - that will be the individual!

Hi Mr Happy.   Do you do children's parties? 

 

Without the likes of Sheffield & Hallam FC, there would be no SUFC & SWFC.
