Council calling McCabe's bluff re Don Valley?

[Micalijo]

Anyone else think the threat of closure has been leaked to entice a bid from Scarborough?

We move to DVS and Lane becomes affordable housing?

No? Thought not - only asking.

Have you been eating cheese before bed as well...?

Reverse these two words, and it sums up your post.

 

[Ted Danson]

I think it more likely that the pigs will end up at DV.

Hasnt Mandy got a £2M loan secured against the sty?

The council are threatening to close Don Valley? FFS

 

[Oreyt]

Step away from the troll, people. Step away.

Can understand why........been shunned by the Athletics for big meets for a few years now.....Rotherham have a new ground...thus making it a very expensive RL ground.

Pity really. Goes down as another of Sheffield's 'white elephants' - just like the airport and Club Wow

A lot of athletes and youngsters still train there don't they?

Why is it that Sheffield is unable to keep people interested in the city - Manchester and Leeds always seem to overshadow us and we're always so slow to react and make a new identity for ourselves...

Although this thread is nothing to do with the Blades (why would it be, even Mic was struggling), it just makes me think that Sheffield is the forgotten city

 

[broomhillblade]

Athletics tracks are nearly all white elephants.

How often are they used for competitive meetings?

How many spectators attend?

The sums just don't add up. Vanity projects, most of them.

But this is within a year of the Olympics... bugger

 

[sitwell]

Should never have been built ,Reg had a perfectly good option for them. Their is a better track if not stadium next to my work on Woodbourn rd ,god knows what will replace it though The Jess Ennis memorial Mosque ?

 

[Racy]

Don Valley another great project [fuck up] from our beloved council.

I heard this morning they are going to knock it down and replace it with another poxy retail park and realocate the athletics to Woodman Rd only thing that place could stage is a remake of Tarsan

Don Valley Stadium, £29m, 1 Gold Medal. Priceless.

Talking of which, if Ennis is too busy to actually get down to t'Lane and see the (mis) named stand, why doesn't she chip in? Oh, I forgot. Too much of a media dahling, attending the opening of an envelope these days.

 

[Racy]

Tarzon-Jungle weller / Cheattas mate

Na yer gonna ask me who Chetta is {reckon ive spelt that wrong too]

 

[metalblade]

Should turn it into a cricket ground Sheffield is the only city in England not to have one

 

[2ndtenorblade]

No, but your braces don't match.

 

[Bradford Blade]

...it just makes me think that Sheffield is the forgotten city

Not by me mate - me and the kids love the place (although that's probably akin to grandparents and grand-kids, i.e. they're great coz you can hand 'em back at the end of a day )...

UTB!

Or a prison ,or an airport or a racecourse ,or a forward thinking council ,we havent got any of those either.

 

[Grecian2000]

Can't argue with that. It's been there over 20 years and I've been there FIVE times (2 gigs, 2 football matches and a RL match).
All it does is make it hard to park for the Omega Sauna!

 

[sheffielder]

Sheffield City Council is probably the worst run council this side of the equator. The whole city really is pathetic if you look at infrastructure and businesses.

Yeah which other city would have a inner ring road with speed humps on it ?

It's still Gods Country though and always will be to me.

Omega Sauna was shut down a few years .....it's now a fish and chip restaurant. The Robin Hood chippy relocated there.

 

[sitwell]

Still smells the same.

 

[Foxy]

Or an Ikea.

 

[Robbie]

Or an Ikea.

Isn't IKEA coming to Sheffield?
Should put us on the map.
