I have a friend who follows Handsworth Fc,Making great strides in the non league,One of the best academy outside of the pigs and blades,better than Sheffield FC,Im just waiting to here back from him regarding there ground,Just for future reference really,If it would be upto scrath,Play at Olivers Mount,Stone throw away from Don Valley,By the pictures its looks better than spinkhill as a facility,club bar,stands cloe to the pitch,Will keep informed and pass on info,phone numbers etc,if it is doable in future,Sure theyd help us out.

Message i got back,

sounds great lee, handsworths ground has a capacity at present of 1,500 with standing and seating plus a great club house that next season will have an extension plus real ales.


Dont know if you want to pass this on to the powers that be Griff.
The real ales do it for me

Good shout!

We're expecting this problem every year, then ?

But Wigan and Hull FC don't seem to get into the mess that the Eagles do!

Maybe an alternative for the Northern Rail games instead of Don Valley,Smaller ground,better atmosphere,Just for a change mind you,Because CHANGE IS NOT GOOD!!!! Upto the powers that be really,The option is potentially there.

Maybe because they have long leases at their respective grounds where as Sheffield don't.

Would be good if we signed a long-term deal, say 5 years at the Lane for all league home games, won't happen though..

The ground has passed RFL test but will face another test the morning of the game. I'm guessing they are bring in extra facilities.

Dewsbury have no idea what facilities the ground has and has told their fans to contact the eagles.

What was the place like to play at?

It was obvious at our game yesterday why the Keepmoat wouldn't be available for two games in one weekend, was pretty much a sand pit with some artificial grass popping through

I really enjoyed it,Beautiful setting,Nice to be close to the pitch 1st half anyway Sun was out,Nice BBQ,Easy access to drinks,Very reasonablly priced,Eagles won,the pitch was good,Would never get into the super league with this ground,But i Enjoyed it,Shove yer plastic stadia,High priced Carlsberg and rubber burgers up yer For value and entertainment was one of the bst this season.

It was fantastic. Wouldn't have worked in the rain or even on a cloudy day like Sunday. Luckily, we went for Friday evening.

For a one off, i liked it, i honestly dont see what all the fuss was about. Mr Jowitt will be reporting for detention tonight.

Strangely, no comments - good or bad - on the stadium over on the Rams forum.

Either they all boycotted it or they all thought it was OK.

There were certainly very few Rams fans, the old woman was funny though.
