A lot was made by the club of moving back to Sheffield. I don't think that many of us, certainly I didn't, of the chosen venue being out on a limb, almost Rotherham indeed, and let's be honest, spectator facilities are to put it kindly, almost as bad as Owlerton. For us (my wife and I) it didn't take us that much longer to drive to the Keepmoat last season. The main drawback was the late kick off which more or less killed off our Sunday dinner with our family.
I do not have much faith in the new stadium actually being built in whatever time I have left on this planet. Maybe the club could consider decamping once again, to Abbeydale which has a small stand but room for the temporary stands at SHU sports club (one of which is nearly always empty). I have a vested interest here as I can walk to Abbeydale.
I think that we would all welcome a statement of intent from the club as to how it is going to move forward.
Oh yes I had forgotten that. Thanks for reminding me. I am only suggesting Abbeydale because it is geographically near to where I live lol. I have no idea how many it holds.
I am not sure that the move to SHU was such a great decision - it would be slightly better if we could play on a Saturday or Sunday. I was chating to someone on the opening day who had to leave earlier due to there being no public transport after nine thirty.
All hinges on the new ground. Perhaps we should have gone full time the same time we moved in.
