Shirecliffe Academy

[Treeton Blade]

We can`t build on that land as there are lots of trees in the way.
Would cause havoc when practising set pieces.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Weren't you born in a hospital?

Nope. Council house.

Pioneering.

They should pull out everything and build something special at Norton, it's large enough to house everything, including housing for young apprentices and some staff, United village. It's also a bit less bleak than Shirecliffe

 

[Charlieblade]

I’m sure I heard that the plan was to move all except first team facilities to the new site, and upgrade Shirecliffe for first team only. Maybe that’s an interim plan until we can get everything up and running under one roof?

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Pioneering.

Was considered normal back then.
Midwives roamed the planet

 

[Rusty view]

On one of the videos showing Berge during his first day I am sure you could hear Henderson telling him that they were building a new facility there, pointing to the site where it would be. Could be wrong though.

He does "they're building there in the summer it's gonna be brilliant"

Daily Mail

Bin Laden's Blades to build training school

More like it

 

[Pedro's Winger]

Build a completely new training and academy centre at Norton and sell Shirecliffe to the porkers.
Given Chansiri's approach to valuation of buildings and land we should get around £100m for it.

 

[Niceguyeddie]

May as well build all the lot at Norton and sell Shirecliffe to Mr Chansiri for £30m. I think that dummy would fall for it, gotta be better than a blow up tent.

Except he doesn't have 30 million

He will have soon when he gets the ten year season ticket money.

No, that's not right. My piggy mate (who is the fountain of all knowledge on all things porcine) says that the dolphin-killer has "loads of money but the nasty EFL won't let him spend it"

 

[5tannington Blade]

Are there any remaining aspects of Bramall lane where money needs to be spent so it isn't far below other traditional ground in the division? I'm thinking Selhurst park, Goodison etc. where established premier league teams have been playing for a long time.

Aye that's why he put a tea towel over the away end rather than cladding or paint.
That's why the Owl sign fell off the end of the Kop
That's why players wages were under paid in December

 

[CrookesBlade]

Off topic but did anyone ever go in the old gym behind the South Stand? That was a strange place with the Victorian prison style walk ways looking down onto a tiny 5-aside pitch made from the old green carpet stuff.

Played a footie tournament in there when I was doing the Tony Currie summer school once

Spending on facilities doesn't count against Fair Play. Nor does spending on a women's team. But South Barnsley really need new players. And that does.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Looks like we've spent some cash on the corporate areas. That's where the money really is in the premier league. Any ground improvements will have boxes at the heart of it.

 

[Rocketmark66]

Ayup. you can see the house where I was born in that photo

Did yer drink in the Timbertop too.

I know.
My post was taking the piss out of my deluded piggy mate's opinions on the fortunes of Kim Yong Skint

I've told him about those things at every possible opportunity

Yessir. Went in there a few times in my youth. Also the Magnet (RIP), Pittsmoor and Southey Clubs..
Aaah the memries...

Based on what they've achieved when he has spent money, I'd suggest he doesn't spend his money on any more crap! Obviously from a personal point of view I hope he does spend again, it won't lead to any success!

 

[Iceybabey]

New training facilities and ground improvements have been on the agenda for a while but the court case had put things on the back burner. Now that's over and we're no longer in league one, we'll start to see things happen.

Same here. Was like playing inside a bear pit.

Me too. Remember Simon Tracey handing out the awards (not to me sadly), and thinking he wasn't very tall for a keeper. Also had weird Jean's on. The things you remember...

Used to frequent the Southey Club on Sunday lunchtime.
Five Arches mainly tho.

 

[Bennyand the Blades]

I'm sure if they had a quiet word with the Sheffield council they could get Graves park, it would be quicker for the council than this selling it off in bits....

 

[PageHallBlade]

everybody seems to be mentioning Norton but whereabouts ?
