New Sporting Heritage space on Chapel Walk.

[CockneyMafia 10]

Walking through Chapel Walk last night, I found out about a project called Sporting Sheffield. Today is the planned opening of their city centre café, store and gallery space which “offers the visitor a unique place and opportunity to meet, relax, enjoy and learn about the city’s enviable sporting heritage and narrative”.

 

Sheffield’s role in the early development of football is often overlooked. There is certainly is very little in the city to signify it has the world’s oldest club AND oldest ground. I suspect this is going someway to address the issue. A genuinely exciting development for the often maligned city centre.

Any mention of Don Valley Stadium and the World Student Games ?

From what I can gather, the space will acknowledge a wide range of local sports, sportsmen and women, though football will likely take centre stage.

Just another project setup so they can claim available funding for 'Legacy' projects.

 

It'll be closed within a year because usually they aren't a sustainable business model or setup by people who pay themselves a large wage.

It's Bramall Lane and will that page state that the 'Blades' were the first team to have 'United' at the end of their name ?

Twenty press ups and get a ton of coal ( coyle) in, and wash your mouth out.

Why are the people of Sheffield and especially Sheffield Forum so cynical? Give it a chance.

He's right though

 

How is promoting football (that's all it does at the min) by chucking some football memorabilia in a window and opening a cafe class as a charity in the first place?!?

The original quote was saying that it wouldn't work and would close within a year not whether it is a valid charity or not.

 

Surely it depends on what they do with the money they earn and/or how they use people to earn that money that makes it a charity or not.

And I agreed with that quote.

 

It's still a front to sell sports memorabilia and pay no rates/minimal rent and call themselves a charity.
