Never been a fan of Don Valley. It is a step in the right direction.

Good to hear - hope some SL teams act to get their stadia in order soon too.
In all seriousness though, can Sheffield maintain a well attended RL team as well as 2 near top flight football teams, elite league ice hockey team and whatever else they have? It's a big ask.

I hope potential Owls supporters won't be put off by this.

a good move, but football will always rule in sheffield, they always found it hard to get a decent gate even when in superleague, as for the ice hockey team, their attendences have droppped dramatically |

Same story for most Ice Hockey teams. The Steelers are moving out of Sheffield next year and Manchester left the MEN not that long ago. |

As long as they clean up the pig muck before the RL it should be a good move.

Dont mean to be funny but it will look shocking having 800 in a 35,000 stadium.

That's a superb move. No doubt at all that people were put off by the Don Valley, should imagine it will be a big success.

I'm not football expert but i knew a few sheffield fans and as i recall the owls played there before the blades did, so i cant imagine this would put them off. |

The Don Valley Stadium is a 25,000 seat stadium. Does having 800 people in the DVS look good?
The fact is that even if the Eagles don't improve their gates at Bramall Lane, every one of those 800 people will get a massively superior view and experience of the game. This is a great move for Sheffield. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| So Lets get this straight.
There are much smaller clubs outside super league who have better stadiums than even some top teams 
Why have smaller clubs been able to sort it yet st helens, wakey and cas have not.
There are 6 teams outside super league with better stadiums than ones in super league. There are no excuses anymore for the big clubs not having up to date stadia. |

Because St Helens, Wakefield and Cas don't have (near) top division football clubs in the town/city like Wigan/Huddersfield/Sheffield/Hull?

Because there isnt a suitable stadium nearby to move into? in the wakefield district the only proffesional sport is rl, so only rl (that doesnt have as many big investors, or funding assistance from its governing body like football has) has stadiums big enough for rl. Sheffield has 3 big stadiums built for other sports that rl can use wheras many areas dont have access to one.
