Think you can forget hybrid airships etc! This firm in fact built one in 2016 ā¦.. it crashed on its debut before crashing again one year later and being scrapped. They have failed to build any since and given itās top speed is 80 mph and a limited capacity then despite the eco thinking which go ahead customers are going to invest ā¦?

Completely agree! Despite unfounded claims above from other posters there is no commercial sense in proceeding currently. A few private jets and āa bit of passengerā (ha ha)will not be sustainable and in any event those who use go in and out of Gamston . The fact is that due to historic mistakes the 3000 or so folk employed in connection with DSA were put out of work and coppards crew seem intent on ignoring the opportunities which commercial development of the site would bring . The fact Peel took our representatives apart is unfortunate but itās time to put that down to experience and move on . I predict nothing will change for months / years .

How much longer are Coppard and his lackeys going to carry on wasting their time and taxpayers cash on what is a pure vanity project of no commercial sense whatsoever. Much as DSA would be marginally more convenient there remain 3 more realistic alternatives within 90 minutes max. the fact that Peel had the councilās pants down from the start ( as with Sheffield City) only goes to prove that most councillorās and a large proportion of their advisors here have little nous between them . Stop the ego trip and concentrate on matters of more relevance etc

Who the hell writes this rubbish that you keep posting? Do you work for the council?

Sheffield Homelessness At All-Time High
Man in Crete replied to SheffieldForum's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Interesting topic but what is not emphatically clear is whether these current āhomelessā are there because they canāt afford to buy/ rent or because there is a city wide shortage of social type housingā¦.. it seems most are saying the latter? in which case please discuss the impact on availability by the 67000 ish students who now attend our 2 universities? There are around 10000 āforeignā students and all require accommodation but not for a 12 months period ok some live in residences but a large part rent stock housing or so called apartments. This surely removes those from being available to the aforementioned homeless whatās the answer ? Well maybe scc should stop had out planning approvals to yet more student housing and instead concentrate on the alleged 4000 homeless? in the words of mr Bassett discuss please! -

Getting To Trades And Labour Club.
Man in Crete replied to Ridgewalk's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
What time of day ? If you follow the instructions above during hours of darkness you will undoubtedly be confronted by the scumbags who inhabit the steel steps be they druggies or riff raff . Despite the cctv installation it can usually be a nightmare for anti social behaviour and one which local councillors have been trying for months to eradicate. Indeed a public meeting was recently convened by councillors at the trades and labour club to see what can be done and there are suggestions roads will be blocked . Personally I would give that route a miss and seek out a bus from the interchange which I believe go up Shrewsbury road and duke street ā¦..drop you at the door. Sorry youāll have to look the numbers up but do not walk after dark! Bad advice! -
Absolute nonsense of a claim fact is as others have said trades vehicleās are by passing the zone hence for example the ring road is less busy (presumably scc can tell the numbers pre and post scheme) Try some of the alternative routes which are more busy once again scc and itās officers are missing the phrase cash cow from their propaganda

Police Cctv In Loxley Bottom
Man in Crete replied to Cody's Granddad's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Not necessary on the evidence available to date and in any event the IPCC deals with climate change nowt to do with old bill Think you mean IOPC? so called police cameras do not operate as described and as pointed out earlier the chances are these are operated privately on private land by a security company -
Sheffield Roads Nearly As Bad As In 2011
Man in Crete replied to Delbow's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Indeed! could mr planner enlighten us and confirm there is a long term contract with Amey and that includes attention to so called pot holes? If so then what if anything has changed such they are not so doing ? Did the contract include for cost additions and how can we mere rate payers be sure the council are supervising this contract diligently? -
Winter Weather 2023/2024
Man in Crete replied to Pyrotequila's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Which reminds me ā¦ the other day on a certain nether edge Facebook forum a local cafe ,where no doubt all the knitted jumper brigade indulge in kidney bean soup followed by spicy nettle tea ,ā invitedā their clientele to come along and make a SNOWPERSONā¦ā¦ I mean wtf ā¦ god knows how they decorated that! No wonder this country is in a mess. -
Just an honest opinion whilst they have a difficult job and much is down to opinion having watched football for over 70 years it seems clear to me that the standard of officiating has never been so low both Sheffield teams have suffered with horrendous decision making this season and last night Simon hooper was probably the worst of the lot aided and abetted by the var team. How on earth the tackle on bogle in the lead up to the second goal was not a foul is beyond understanding. After his horror show against Man City then he carried on the momentum. Inconsistent all night and sadly I am coming to the conclusion the premier league is not what it should be and officials are bent ā¦ā¦or are they all so poor. that said United were much improved and showed more āpassionā than was evident for weeks ā¦ oh for a modern Keith Hackett
-
Whilst many councillors have no grasp or experience of such matters they seem to rely upon the so called expertise of their council officers many of whom are evidentially unfit for purpose. Itās high time they were brought to task and where necessary disposed of post haste. Will that happen well no cos weāve seen too many examples of waste and no one pays the price meanwhile the elusive Kate Josephās is complaining yesterday that government is not subbing our council sufficiently. To coin a phrase what have the romans ( aka k Josephās) ever done for us? Answer on a fag packet please

Barnstoneworth United ( not won a match for 6 years ) Gordon ottershaw and yes Michael palin supports united

Correct me if Iām wrong but at the outset of chancer buying into swfc wasnāt it said more than once he was heading up a consortium? if that is so then aside from all the decisions made could it be that said consortium have said enough is enough and withdrawn finance? or was there no such arrangement and whatever the source money has dried up no one seems to be able to say where money comes from and suggestions he is in property and construction back home seem unproven where does his money come from anyone really know? Maybe mr Bassett knows! that said and rivalries aside I feel sorry for those fans who have a lifetime of support and are having to put up with the current scenario

But ā¦but mista Bassett says heās a good man loaded with dosh ā¦ha ha
-
Yet another pitiful statement trying to make out he is the victim once again when reality says not so. Whether his threat of not putting more money in holds up then frankly any sensible suppliers must surely withdraw credit etc immediately? That combined with non payment of wages etc puts the club into administration which in turn means chancer looses all his money? Is he that stupid? Weāll time will tell will he show up tonight with his mate? anyway I agree mister Bassett is involved somewhere and his thoughts are awaited meanwhile rip swfc

Not wishing to dispute Matlock but you maybe couldnāt beat emley fcās ground just under the tv mast on a crisp January Monday night for an fa cup replay in front of their partisan supporters up the hill from Huddersfield . Theyād get well into 4 figures then retire to the bar until the early hours with the local Bobby watching over things and then a carful drive home . Pies were good as well none of your balti pies there!

Sheffield Wednesday Fc V Ipswich Town
Man in Crete replied to bassett one's topic in Sheffield Football
All that you say is spot on correct. Sadly I think you and many others are wasting time trying to educate mr Bassett who doesnāt answer any reasonable questions and steadfastly refuses to provide support for any of the āfactsā which he constantly pedals on here. Frankly I can only assume he is in the pay of mr chancer or maybe heās taking everyone for a ride and heās the forums clickbait king? Who knows but I can guarantee he wonāt be there today waving his ā I luv you mr chancerā banner. I give up -
Iāve said it before and will say it again. This man needs help ā¦ he is embarrassing himself and the club which many Wednesday fans have supported through thick and thin. The sooner he and his mate paxo go the better
-
Another question mr Bassett sorry if I missed it but when exactly did mr chancer say a so called big company were interested but pulled out because of the fans etc ? Could you point everyone in the right direction please? as to his finances then historically you have insisted he has loads of money but you steadfastly refuse to say where it comes from? If heās that minted then why doesnāt he spend some instead of signing loans and freebies that no one has ever heard of ?
-
Confused. com? no debt? Lol thats the problem for Wednesdayā¦ no dosh whatsoever hence loan a bunch of no bodies under a manager who canāt string 5 words of English togetherā¦. Letās hope they stay up and we can have derbies next year

Are you on some sort of medication which helps you repeat the same nonsense views?
