CONFIRMED HSBC Sports Ground - New first team training centre

[IdLiketoRogerMoore]

Maybe one for the rumors thread, but a good mate says he's heard from a solid source (I know I know) that Sheff Utd have had a bid accepted for the HSBC Sports Club on Limb Lane in S17.

Anyone else heard owt?

Would be a great acquisition but can't see it myself.

 

[Shawy24]

Yeah. New stadium being built for anticipated next 10 years. Max capacity 2,500.

 

[Bladeloyal]

Would with investment make a great first team base .

It’s been an obvious choice for as long as I can remember. Most (but not all) of the players will be Dore Whirlow Eccy Rd Ranmoor area as is the gaffer.

Makes perfect sense.

UTB

Yeah. New stadium being built for anticipated next 10 years. Max capacity 2,500.

Sheffield City Council on advice from South Yorkshire Police have already reduced it's capacity to 1,500 prior to it being built

 

[jt64]

Can it play left back?

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Clearly lined up as a secure environment in which to retire our most feckless and maladapted donkeys.

Seems like a logical choice. Surprised the club didn't go for it sooner.

 

[JohnDenver]

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?

 

[Foxy]

Anyone else heard owt?

Yeah. But have also moved to rumour mill for now.

I believe there’s been a change of direction towards this.

 

[Brian Deane]

Renamed as .......

Eeyore stadium ​

 

[HarryHaslam]

Really hope so, would make for a cracking new training ground.

I suggested a couple of months ago that a plot had been identified.

Many years since l played there but drainage at the bottom was a huge problem along with a slope. It may have been updated over the years.

Heard pretty much the same on Friday.
Used to work for the bank & spent many a happy night in the bar.
Locals not happy apparently.

 

[Withington Blade]

Fair comment. Foxy would you remove? Don’t want to cause any potential issues.

On the contrary. I'm a local and I'm delighted!!! Bet Dore Cafe will be over the moon too!!

How come? Is Mousset coming back?

 

[Rodley]

I’ll find out.

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Just made £30.3 billion profit in 2023, clearly need the money

 

[Gin&Juice]

Which field in Dore? The actual HSBC club or that abandoned drug den that used to belong to Castle College?

Wonder if they threw in the old branch on Townhead Road?

 

[Gin&Juice]

$17

The plot thickens.

To the left of the driveway at the bottom is a 3 or 4g pitch now, drains well, in good nick.

 

[Brynner]

Always enjoyed playing there against HSBC back in the late 70's/early 80's in the old Sunday Imperial League. Nice facilities, nice showers and even better, a nice bar . Hope there's something in this, would make a good base for the first team with the requisite groundwork etc.

Aye, it's pretty ropey that bottom pitch but some proper investment will sort it. Cracking site for a new facility.

I wonder if they'll take the artificial pitches up?

Edit: think we're talking about a different bottom pitch, I meant the one to the right as you go up the path. That pitch isn't great.

Didn’t realise that Ingood Nick was a modern pitch expert. You learn something new every day.

 

[Rodley]

An hour to Wilmslow etc . Decent for potential signings.

The sports club is closing in June
