AndrewC Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 My personal view is places like Red Brick Markets are not really the same kind of place as a traditional market like Moor Market. You won't get butchers or bakers there; they tend to focus more on crafts, bespoke goods, antiques, etc. There's some overlap, but I would suggest both the retailers and the potential clientele of each are not quite the same groups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking that myself. I cant see Redbrick being any major threat to the types of traders in the Moor Market. What is proposed at Bramall Lane seems to be an attempt to bring something like Manchester's Afflecks to Sheffield. All quirky traders, vintage clothes, artworks, handmade trinkets and novelty items. I doubt they will be fully chasing the same clientele as the meat, breadcake, leggings, and second hand mobile stalls of the Moor Market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure exactly what your concern is, but I doubt it's going to be such a busy place that it would be that much of a problem. It will deal with big crowds coming past twice a day in a 3-hour period without that much of an issue. There are other businesses on the same road and nearby which co-exist with matchdays now. Deliveries etc will be earlier in the day than any match kick-off, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassett one Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 you say the new market only overlaps a bit, but why is that overlap not being brought into the moor market? i know the design is awfull maybe that needs changing ,but its gone from a long waiting list to half empty.
