We're expecting this problem every year, then ?

Football grounds are re-seeded every year.

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.

I don't get boycotting either.

Not much of a help to your team, is it?

They should be putting pressure on whoever has banned people from standing or sitting on the grass behind their goals

Same with the Skolars - they have a nice open stretch that is always in the sun when it shines yet you have to sit in the stand that's damp and gloomy

They wouldn't even let me walk on that bank earlier in the season, jobsworths.

I don't understand boycotting, if you follow your team you follow them, end of.

The old woman who the Dr nearly had a punch up with was great & the fat simple bloke who decided to couldn't wait 2 minutes for his hot dog & pushed in so I had to 'inform' him there was a line of 10 or so people waiting was a treat too..

Deswbury have a track record of having their players hit by old ladies with umbrellas, of course.

All down to H&S

Skolars do open the terracing for games when the stand is sold out. As it requires extra stewards.

Not exactly a regular occurence then

Not even as regular as Dewsbury players being assaulted by old ladies with umbrellas.

What are you on about?

I don't even think he knows.

!966 Cup semi final at Swinton - some old St Helens biddy took exception to a Dewsbury player smacking a Saints player (who was actually her "lodger"

) and ran on to the field and set about him with her umbrella.







She got prosecuted. She'd done it before, apparently.

Did you lads not do history at school ?

Did you take the grandkids to that one griff?

I once went to a Widnes v Warrington game at Naughton Park circa 1988, when a fan got punched and knocked out by Des Drummond. The fan said something to upset him & bang
