on your relegation looking forward to proper derbies again.Prepare yourselves for a shock next
year especially the Howlerton stadium....

Do you mean Owlerton in Sheffield?
I've been there lots of times following speedway in the past, I guess it's not improved then..

That's the one.The only decent bit of terrace/vantage point was condemned
prior to our recent visit.

I recollect that London [crusaders, as were] used to play at Barnet Copthall, which basically as a running track, was very similar to Owlerton with hardly any actual terrace. Certainly not the best places to watch action in the middle, it has to be said.

we will be back at the first attempt.

Not so sure. We have to beat teams on much bigger salary caps.

It certainly won't be easy.

Its not great Owlerton, one more year maximum of the place in 2015 then hopefully a new ground, you'll all be sure of a warm welcome, unlike the smug welcome awaiting you down the road at the Shay.

i bet the 3 pidgens pub is rubbing there hands at the bulls relegation , as for the grounds we will be visiting there are just 3 questions that need to be asked ,is there a bar ,is there a burger van ,is there a bog , me im looking forward to visiting some new grounds .glass half full

That might make the Bulls feel more at home but I dont think Smug have been together for quite a number of years now.

I admire your view on this,bit like when i followed FCHT through the glue leagues.Wherever you go next year
won't compare with the likes of Ryton,Norton and Stockton ancients etc.
Three pigs has had a facelift and am sure they will be relishing the Bulls visit.

Along with the Shears, but sadly not the Pumproom, [RIP].

Aye they can't wait, counting down the days!icon_biggrin.gif

Don't forget Dirty Dicks! Loads of decent ale and food in there.
