Where are our new owners going to find 135acres in Sheffield. 

3 billion will be no problem though.

Their official site? 

The external design looks awful with the chimneys.  Inside it looks great, though.

Problem for us is finding a site.

...and it looks a mess!! This is my fear about our takeover, that someone comes in and wants to move us to some monstrosity like this!! Nothing against a move if we have to but not to something that looks like that!

135 acres is a huge plot of land isn't it?

I got shouted down last time I said this but comparing Sheffield and Birmingham is silly.

 

Birmingham has a population of over 2million people. Sheffield 500k.

 

Birmingham is a hub of business and entertainment and tourists even go there.

Birmingham is better connected to most of the UK by rail.

Birmingham also has an international airport.

 

I'm not saying anything about Birmingham City FC vs Sheffield Wednesday FC.

 

But the potential in terms of the cities? Birminghams miles and miles ahead.

Even Lincoln has a bigger digital profile than Sheffield. Half the reason the National Centre for popular music never took off.

People just don't come to Sheffield for a day out, sadly.

Peaky Blinders meets football…. 
 

Well it’s different

It’s pretty cool, links to the industrial past.
