Has it been confirmed where we are playing this one? DVS or Bramall Lane..?

Just trying to plan some stuff as a friend is coming up for the weekend & i'm taking him to the game!

I heard it was going to be on ESOs back lawn which would also mean that the hot tub would be back in play.

Volunteers have been asked to arrive early to clear the 'bow cans off the grass prior to the game.

Seriously I'm not sure what's available either, I think the Lane is a no no.

Is the pitch being re-laid at DVS too? If so why being as there are cutbacks etc and such plus it's only Rotherham who use it

DVS, 6 July is my guess.

Can we start a poll ?

Play it at Dews better atmosphere than DVS.

It'd never happen but I'd definitely prefer that.

Play it at B2Net, wouldn't mind a day drinking at ChevVegas. Can see it being at DVS though...

Seconded (about the date)

How about playing at a neutral venue such as Wakey?

Sheffield FC coach and horses ground 3k capacity would be great as a one-off,Has that route been explored,Dont think Sheffield FC will be reseeding,Probably cant afford the seed

Not being funny but cant blame Dewsbury here,the fixtures have been out since last december i believe,plenty of time to sort it out,They are only doing what we would do,Alternative play at the Tetleys and wipe them off the park to prove a point.

PS Were not giong up and we wont go down so does it really matter if it's played at the Tetleys,Is it that important

Yes, because you then set a precedent for a game which [idoes[/i matter.

I dunno why they didn't swap fixtures. Would have been much better for them. Now they're stuck with a midweek game and a blank weekend, cocking up their training pattern. And they're at Don Valley instead of Bramall Lane.

They must have had their reasons but it seems a lose-lose situation for both clubs to me.

And, of course, next time they want a favour .....

Its not the first time Dewsbury have been awkward and unco-operative regarding a fixture.

I agree,Common sense at the start of the season would be to reverse the fixtures,But we cant really go blaming Dewsbury,as much as they were uncoperative its upto us to get a ground sorted to fulfil a fixture and on the date as stated at the start of the season.

Spot on Eagleblade, looks like Mark doesn't want to move the game out of Sheffield, don't blame him to be honest.

Sandygate Road or Coach and Horses Ground anyone..?

There both not in Sheffield Liam,Wouldnt go down well with the locals

Sandygate is isn't it..? We'll end up were the Hillsborough Hawks play or abbeydale sports club at this rate

Yeah it is,Thought you meant Sandygate ground,Worksop.

All of a sudden my back garden seems like a viable option

but sadly it's not big enough

Maybe, but this sort of thing happens all the time and not just to us. Most clubs are reasonable about it.

I can't believe that !!

www.thestar.co.uk/sport/rugby-le ... _1_3397858 The bit in the report where it says Doncasters ground is also being seeded is incorrect. But we are at home that sunday afternoon. Got me thinking, what about a south yorkshire double header, 1 game at 1 and 1 game at 3. Could be a good publicity excercise for both clubs.

Its because the swimming pool takes up most of the space now

I like your thinking Rob-Donny!

Fair enough,Has the Coach & horses ground been looked into or do we not want to use it for some reason?Makes sense for a one-off,Would be interested as the reasons for not asking or have we asked the question?Comon Griff shed some light you know everything
