Not sure SL would be too keen on that, as that’s the site for his housing development nest egg now, isn’t it? I always thought he chucked in the towel surprisingly quickly on the the Ashton Vale Stadium development. I now wonder how seriously he was really considering that site, especially after we didn’t land the World Cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that land is more valuable? I think the heyday of the supermarket is over (I don't think JS will want to buy the site and relocate).

In an ideal world you'd build houses etc at Ashton Gate in lower Clifton And then build the stadium at AV. But with the deal that was done for the village green I'm not sure that would ever be possible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 (edited) I see Sheffield United up for sale still may have a bidder..they've been up for sale for a while of course. Reported price tag of £100m and even that is deemed toppy by buyers (as per Nixon anyway all of that). We are surely vastly overpriced.

Ah but your not getting a world beating well beaten rugby team and a semi pro basketball team thrown in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been chatting to a Blades fan the past couple of days while away walking in Anglesey. Apparently they call their current owner “The Poundland Prince” and the only non-rich Arab to own a football club. I soon put him right on that latter point after describing how one Arab-owned club local to us bought one of its stands at “Go Outdoors”! Sheffield United are a somewhat less complicated buy than City and they have parachute payments. The ground might need a bit more work but in essence they would seem a more attractive option than us for any investor with a spare £200 million burning a hole in their pocket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
