Poll-Would you pay a £1 a year to keep Don Valley open?

[Fudbeer 12]

I voted no most of the time it stands there empty.

 

Can think of plenty of better things to spend the extra pound on.

[F1fan 10]

Yes, it's only an extra pound a year. I'd rather the Olympic legacy had more to do with promoting sport and keeping Don Valley open rather than ex-Olympians making a career as a celebrity on the reality TV merry-go round.

The thing that galls me is that as a nation we invested in the Olympic legacy, but as a nation it seems to be London that is reaping the benefits.

 

They are about to spend another £200M pounds on the refurbishment of the Olympic Stadium so West Ham can play there - that has got to be lack of foresight in the original plans on a par with Sheffield Schity Council.

This is all about politics and nothing to do with what is best for Sheffield.

Why would they want to move to a smaller seating stadium with a running track?

 

So they could actually fill all the seats for a change?

[northernboy 13]

Yes. Never been and maybe never will but I'm glad it exists and it should remain.

What could you buy that would be the equivalent to 0.27p per day ?

A few extra police officers?

What a tool that man is . I hate it when I mentions he is a sheffielder wonder how many times he has been in John o gaunt lol

 

I should imagine most Sheffielders haven't been in the John O'Gaunt.

The John......is a euphemism for rougher pubs so I guess a large proportion will have visited,although perhaps not many from Lodge Maw.

You can not be serious!

I voted yes but I would only do it if this council were not involved in the running of it in any way.

If £1, £2 or whatever was added to Council Tax it would just be creamed off - like 16% already is - to pay the pensions of the wasters who think these things up.

 

And would it be unreasonable to ask 'Golden Girl' Ennis to chip in from the £2.5m she's reckoned to have earned since the Olympics Sports Day?
