The Doncaster to Hull/Shorpe line runs right by Stainforth dog track. We played there in
the mid/late 90's.

The South Yorkshire Junction Railway ran behind Tattersfield and terminated at York Road Station.
Although it was originally intended for passenger work the only passenger trains that went down there
were train spotter specials and I think they stopped running in the early 70's.

It ended up being a goods yard then when it finally shut I think Cutts Bros used the yard and the station
buildings as a paper recycling depot. Then they were demolished for the York Road widening scheme in the
early 90's.

You also get a nice view of Oakwell (Barnsley) as you approach from the south although from a distance.

In fact lots of local grounds lie next to railways.

Elland Road, KC Stadium, Glanford Park, Blundell Park, Millmoor, Victoria Park (Goole), Bell Vue (Wakefield),
Wheldon Road, Post Office Road........I'm sure there are more.

Even Rotherham United's new ground is being built next to the line at Rotherham Central.

Hmm it was a smaller ground than Mllmoor however the stands were painted red so I doubt it was tattersfield...Couldn't of been Rotherham Rugby perhaps?

Sheffield FC at Dronfield?

They play in red and it is certainly smaller than Millmoor.

Lies on Sheffield to Chesterfield Line.

I've been to a game there so I'm sure it wasn't that ground it looked slightly bigger (more stands) than coach and horses ground, thanks for the suggestions though guys.

Wont be Rotherham RUFC. thats on clifton lane not near the train line.Racking my brain though now trying to think which it might be.

Denaby United?

many years ago now two car loads of us went see the Dons play Carlyise prob spelt the name wrong,forget the name of the ground but it was close by the West Coast main line.

This is getting boring ! They are fed up with the thread on the Eagles site also.

Gillford Park (Carlisle)

I remember driving up one wednesday afternoon for a 6.45 ko during the Dave Sampson era.

This is what you get when we are not making any signings or putting ANY blurb in the papers.
Nature abhors a vacuum.
The forum is existing on scraps.

Agree 100% S-O.

Bring on the signings.
