I’ve heard that JD Sports are looking to buy the building in mid-2023 to replace it with a large, flagship store. Not demolishing the building, just re-fitting it.

But wouldn’t this be a risky thing and a PR disaster?

What would happen to patients, medical equipment etc.?

  1. What is this nonsense. There is no way on earth this would happen and even if GOSH relocated that’s not a retail zone. Stop spreading fake news.

  2. If there is any truth to this, then it will just be to move to a better site.

    Hospitals aren’t supposed to stand forever and there comes a point where maintenance costs get too high and the rooms are no longer fit for purpose as they no longer meet modern requirements and they don’t have the infrastructure to deal with new medical technology.

    So at that point, it’s genuinely easier and better for the hospital to just build a new one somewhere. Then you have functional, purpose built facilities for modern times. So in that respect; no issue with it moving. But as others have said, this is the first I’m hearing of it.

  3. I’m not really sure the whole Scooby Doo abandoned hospital vibe is what JD Sports would be looking for either

  4. My questions aren’t this bad and they get filtered out but they definitely aren’t this lazy of a post. No proof (no article online either), no explanation, just throwing out opinions based on unknowns.

    Like saying “I heard tea was going to be made with coffee, how do you feel about tea now being made from coffee? Are you going to stop drinking tea or are you supporting the change?”

    This is conspiracy level BS. Make up a story then base your views on that false BS which has no reality. You’re jumping so far ahead that you’ve skipped the start and expect everyone to understand.

    You can’t throw out random sh*t, not explain it and then use that for the next part of your question.

  5. “I’ve heard” from whom?
    What is the basis of this wild claim?
    Did you fact check this before rushing to reddit and creating an account to make this your first post?
