Think these were made by a Coventry company a few years back.
They also did the MHS shirt, the grey and purple away kit and others.
Quality was excellent. I got a couple.
But I think lawyers got involved, as the whole range was pulled.
Not just the English record, but a world record too.
Though it would be smashed a year later when Hans Jeppson moved to Napoli.
Incredibly, Sewell was the last British player to attract a world record transfer fee for 45 years (until Shearer moved to Newcastle).
The former site itself is pretty much the width of the current Hillsborough footprint.
But for access purposes alone, I suspect the club would also acquire the current industrial units on Grange Mill Lane & Blackburn Rd, which would make it plenty wide enough.
To be fair. That’s Kansas City.
The MetLife stadium, (home of the Giants & Jets) is surrounded by parking lots, but is also next to horse racing track and a shopping mall and is sandwiched between separate areas of parkland running along two rivers.
So not quite so dystopian.
The parking lots around MetLife also serve the shopping mall and act as a park and ride for Manhattan based commuters. So the land is being used more than 16 or so Sundays a year.
There’s an area called Hove (once the town of Hove), in the city of Brighton & Hove.
Just like there’s an area called Chelsea in the London Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.
The Millwall neighborhood is on the Isle of Dogs.
That’s north of the river in the borough of Tower Hamlets.
Yet Millwall play south of the river in south Bermondsey. Part of the borough of Lewisham.
