There was that, the tram access and the insistence on having a “fan zone” area which obviously Hillsborough park could also provide.
Bagshaws land, baggies land as we used to call it in the 60's and you are right Ed there was always a fair there in the summer, as kids when leaving Gleadless Valley school on the way home we would push each other in going over the wall if you had the nerve because colonel bagshawe had a blunderbus and would shoot at us, hard as fuck we were.
There's more about the aerodrome on Sheffield History. According to the posts there, the land was transferred over to the NHS at one point and hasn't been built on because some of it was classed as greenbelt.
Norton Aerodrome
Situated off Norton Avenue just opposite Herdings Park was "Norton Aerodrome" I am sure my friend Stuart0742 has asked for some details about it before in one of the maps areas but we still seem to know little about it.

FIFA's criteria for this has changed ,they now apparently have to have the surrounding area around the ground which means most English stadiums would not be suitable
Think that was more likely to be norton oaks park where the cricket club is now next to the water tower
Was funny as they ignored the fact our ground is within walking distance of all major transport hubs, the city centre (with plenty of places for fan zones) and 90% of the city's hotels.
To be fair, you can commute to Hillsborough by canoe, and we cant compete with that.
I thought that the majority of lads in Gleadless Valley only moved there to get away from us wrong uns at Hurlfield Sec BB?Bagshaws land, baggies land as we used to call it in the 60's and you are right Ed there was always a fair there in the summer, as kids when leaving Gleadless Valley school on the way home we would push each other in going over the wall if you had the nerve because colonel bagshawe had a blunderbus and would shoot at us, hard as fuck we were.
Ain't based in sheffield though.
It's very much the latest trend to have the academy and the first team close so there's a real interaction between the two and a clear "one club" mentality, so selling Shirecliffe would make sense. Personally I like the idea of the kids bumping into the first team occasionally, can you imagine that?
If the rumours are true that it’s the Norton aerodrome site then it’s big enough to house Shirecliffe about 3 times
Nawty boys from Newfield Gray, Hurlfield always over rated, while playing local football we had training twice a week with two sports teachers, Martin was one the other was Pete Radford who played for Norton Woodseats, I ended up playing football and cricket with him some years later, may have been there when you attended?I thought that the majority of lads in Gleadless Valley only moved there to get away from us wrong uns at Hurlfield Sec BB?
That was Thornnber Bagshawe. Used to play cricket with his son, Tim, before we both went to Sheffield College of Art. Not sure if he had a blunderbus but I certainly remember on one occasion going up the little lane opposite the Bagshawe Arms with my mates when we heard a bang then a rattling sound as pellets hit the electricity pylon behind us. Needless to say we didn't hang about!!!Bagshaws land, baggies land as we used to call it in the 60's and you are right Ed there was always a fair there in the summer, as kids when leaving Gleadless Valley school on the way home we would push each other in going over the wall if you had the nerve because colonel bagshawe had a blunderbus and would shoot at us, hard as fuck we were.
It was a story going around at the time regarding the blunderbus true or not but it certainly scared the shit out of us when we dared to creep over and onto his land and of course someone would shout "Baggies here"! ran like hell and when we got back over the wall all talked it up and laughed out loud, we all thought it was naughty at the time, any kid reading it today would find it boring
Any world cup bid won't involve either of us now anyway, as it'll be a GB or even more likely GB&I bid.
Had a few fun events with Hurlfield lads when I was at NorfolkI thought that the majority of lads in Gleadless Valley only moved there to get away from us wrong uns at Hurlfield Sec BB?
Yeah, but have you checked on google maps though?
Now THAT would be something to cherish!!In a couple of years time our U21`s , will be playing the Pigs first team in the piss-pot cup , that would make its mark .
