Meaks Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 So does anyone think that Sheffield will 'win' the UK's first 'super casino'? Or will it go to the dome? Personally I would think it would be a good thing for the City, especially if there is to be only one in the country as currently suggested. Blackjack anyone?

Rich Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Meh, where would they put it in Sheffield? They can't put it anywhere in Town really, cos there isn't a big enough stretch of land, and they can't put it in the Meadowhall area for pretty much the same reason.

Meaks Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 I understand it would be built in some of the unused (waste) ground around Meadowhall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarby Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Yup, I think it would be a great thing for the city, to run alongside Don Valley, Hallam FM Arena, Ponds Forge etc.... I can imagine all manners of celebs wanting to gamble at the UK's first "Super Casino". Lots of publicity indeed - Which can only be a good thing.

KJ_VENOM Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 its a moot point the government would never let something so big be built in sheffield, if london doesn't get it, it will go to blackpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Despite one especially good Sheffield proposal (Sun International's) does anyone really honestly believe that it won't go to London? Come on folks, get real. I'd love to see it in Blackpool... but let's not lose our grip on the inevitable reality. Construction of the shell for the Dome Casino proposal is already underway on site without so much as a gaming licence. Would anyone care to share the poker table with Mr Anschutz when Mr Precott is dealing the cards? Yeehaa cowboy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dreams of smokin' some B-list wannabe at the Poker tables are now, well and truly shattered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobbo Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 I understand it would be built in some of the unused (waste) ground around Meadowhall. Unlike any of the other cities in the running for a UK super casino, there are actually 3 competing sites in Sheffield! Two are in the Meadowhall area, and the third is the Sheffield United football stadium. The number of glossy brochures and associated literature (from competing organisations for a super casino in Sheffield) that councillors receive is amazing!

Meaks Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hmmm, Blackpool is an obvious choice but I would hate to see the tackniess and campness of Blackpool 'spoilt' by such a venue. Hold on though - super casino would fit into both catergories I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
