Be class that like. I walk back to town that way past it from the South Stand to St Peter’s and always thought it looked like a good building to make use of.

'Brown envelopes this Council is corrupt!!! It should have been used for shipbuilding. Or the money shud have been spent on the schools'
A lot of positive developments taking off in the city and it's great seeing older buildings being restored and repurposed.
I'm only interested if they knock it down and build it back brick by brick on the Leisure Centre site and make it something for the bairns.

Looks decent tbf, it's something that's missing in the North East. Reminds me of the Castlefield Bowl in Manchester a bit rather than Stack though, different markets.
Bit of a dodgy place for outside concerts though mind since the rest of Sheepfolds is supposed to be residential and housing and concerts is never a good mix without serious restrictions.

But the stadium is there with both football and concerts so can’t see it being much of an issue.

Very clever by the developers. Nice old building with loads of character, new bridge, stadium, hotel and new esports centre all close by. The whole area has plenty of potential.
It's only a couple of concerts a year though, whereas I'm guessing these will want to do stuff every day every weekend. All you need is one person like the Ropers outside of Alton Tower's (believe they've gone now) and you get all sorts of restrictions for everything. I know they've got the fireworks restricted down there, height restrictions, noise restrictions you name it.

All this apparent joined up forward thinking planning from the council is giving me a headache

I'm a bit puzzled by this comment about it on the echos page.
He's the leader of the council and why does that lad think he needs to raise his profile??

It's hardly a WDSC though...More, well done the developer for seeing the opportunity and having an exciting vision for the place.
I think you're getting your wires crossed. That area is in the plans for redevelopment and this is part of it.

And? Sunderland council won't have devised the plan for the location. Sunderland council have planned to redevelop many areas.

Yeah but then the tart out the site to potential developers with a ‘you could do this’ approach. At least I’m assuming that’s what happens.And? Sunderland council won't have devised the plan for the location. Sunderland council have planned to redevelop many areas.

No, the master plan that covers the whole Vaux and sheepfolds area. Haven't you read it? It's canny good.
