Have to hope that they get it right, and that works for the club. But also that this isn’t a distraction from the day job in getting the team, and stadium right first.

Without dismissing the intentions, it would be up Sports Republic street to focus on this and not the football. You fear they might look at the surroundings and expect everything else just falls into place. 
 

Yes, it’d be nice to recreate something in the area, but part of me doesn’t want a gentrified waterfront with poncey cafes for hipsters. There’s something to be said for arriving into a grimey location rich in history.
