I Don't, for the club concerned and the city it will bring benefits , but it will probably end up costing the rest of south yorkshire, like increased policing costs etc, and it will be all of southyorkshire who ends up paying, a bit like the supertram, all of south yorkshire contribute through there council tax but i can't remember the last time i saw a tram running through the middle of doncaster.

Good question is there anything in it for Barnsley and Doncaster but debt.........I doubt it. The World Student games spings to mind as does the subsidy for the Transport. For years this has been going on Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham subsidising Sheffield. confused confused

Let em have it, just make them aware that any costs incurred will be payable by themselves, they will try and sell it as though all of South yorkshire and beyond will benefit, i just hope Sheffield get the roads sorted out there a disgrace, i can see why Sheff Wednesday want it, as its a chance to get there ground updated, but wheres the money coming from, we keep hearing about investors but they never seem to materialise, its only a few weeks ago they were asking for volunteers to go and paint the ground.

The new plans feature a learning zone and classrooms (exams are already held at Hillsborough), so with the project being of benefit the community, the club are hoping to access most of the money through government grants. Not exactly what you'll want to hear after your comments so far. Laughing

I think the promo views are really good but not sure it will come off for you. What do the Blunts think about your plans to elevate the stadium to the best in the city I wonder ? Neutral

My office sharing Blade Mate told me that when the owls get their stadium improvements completed it will bring Hillsbrough upto the standard that BDTBL is now, before they start on there own improvements. Twisted Evil
