00:00 I think Castlegate area, I think the Old Town Hall, one of the most endangered Victorian buildings in the country is down there
00:08 and a great opportunity with the new development that's going on around the exposure of the castle and the heritage there
00:15 and being a supporter of Sheffield home of football, I think the football heritage should be represented somewhere in the city
00:22 a place that celebrates our unique football heritage.
00:25 Do you think the council should buy the Old Town Hall?
00:28 I think it would be difficult for a council in this financial situation to buy it
00:33 I think they are an enabling facility to try and create a new opportunity there for a self-sustaining resource
00:42 or a place where people can come and enjoy the heritage of Sheffield such as our football heritage.
00:50 It's been long and thin and it needs to be square, a bit like Halifax where you can walk round and do all your shopping
00:59 and they haven't got a retail thing like Meadowhall or Parkgate and all the big shops are there in a nice little square
01:07 Gloucester, same, there's bars, there's shops and if you walk from here to the moor and back it's quite an exercise
01:19 so I think it needs to be square enough connecting, if Trump could do that.
