Who?Not surprisingly, people Still managing to find fault with this news.
I checked and there is a fault line running right through the area purchased.Who?
I’ve seen nothing to suggest people are finding fault with it.
Earth shattering newsI checked and there is a fault line running right through the area purchased.
Yeah, the Prince is a politician after all. It might be a bit of red meat to quell the masses…A bit of good news amongst all gloom, might take the heat out of an awful situation at the moment.It doesn’t surprise me that HSBC would wish to sell given their hugely reduced commitment to Sheffield.
It really would surprise me if SUFC’s owner commits to this investment.
I presume the land isn’t available for housing if it’s even remotely within our means?
I have said the same in the comments. I didn’t expect it to happen with the current owner and his stance on wanting to leave.It’ll be good when we see the detail around this. Hopefully whatever facilities are built are future-proofed and fit in nicely with the surroundings. Similarly, the timescale for when the move will happen is key. I am a bit sceptical given the owner wishes to sell and based on past projects like this.
Do Middlewood still play their home games at Handsworth?I’m not saying your making it up, not having a dig at you but how do Middlewood manage with less pitches, staggered Kick Off times?
It does all seem a bit coincidental that this along side the news thay Mitchell has left by mutual consent has come about in quick succession to one another, when the heat was turning up on the owner.Yeah, the Prince is a politician after all.

That really would be the icing on the quake.I checked and there is a fault line running right through the area purchased.

Wrong againCannot see us doing anything until we have a new owner.
Announcing vague plans with not even the artwork that the last set of plans that didn't happen in the end doesn't make it a done deal. I do not trust this board. I hope it gets it done and will be happy if it is.Wrong again
The timing is off.
We haven't seen any plans, we don't know if we have any planning permissions and it doesn't sound like we've actually purchased it (yet).
It has the feeling of a rushed attempt to distract from bad press.
A proper build will cost 10s of millions and he doesn't have it.
So what's his plan?
I think the news is being met with an appropriate level of scepticism.

Or, we know we can't compete just by pumping loads of money into buying players, so we want to get them through development.The timing is off.

The Prince was asked in an interview a while back about the training ground/Academy status and said that he hoped we’d have good news by January.The timing is off.

I unlike most on here are very happy to be wrong.Wrong again
Dore
We train and play there this season, it’s pretty decent but I’m cut to fuckery with fetching all the balls backI always liked playing at Davy's. My mates Dad was the steward for a fair while as well
Mixed emotions about this one. I think its a good move for United, not very good for the local community. The site was being used comprehensively for grass roots sports with a lot of football and cricket teams using it, not to mention it was being used for a lot of functions. Seems a shame for the next generation to not be able to enjoy these facilities. Instead footballers will be using it who wont even appreciate how much joy people have had from using them. The overpaid prima donnas get the best again, while its back to the quagmires and shit facilities for the rest of us peasants.
SUFC have virtually annexed the facilities ant they. We will be replacing the locals with our signings next. Disgusting really, the peasants of Dore are suffering here.Mixed emotions about this one.

It would be nice if the club put back into the community and built a quality site that could be used for grass roots sports with equally good facilities. I wont hold my breathe! In 20 years we'll wonder why our national team is so bad and we hardly have any English players playing in the top leagues.Agree 100 per cent. Same with the Sheffield FC transport ground plan. I remember when the locals fought to keep that out of Tesco's hands.
If it actually happens this is good news for the club, but bad news for many other people.
