Quote ="optimist"Good spot Alan. Must admit i did have a little chuckle at this.
However i then started to think, which Mrs Optimist tells me is a dangerous thing
Are the players unfamiliar with the stadium? Do they get the chance to regularly train on the pitch? Or did Morty just fancy a run out with the Barrow team for the 2nd half?'"
Don't think they train on it at all - costs too much. Having talked to Mark Aston about the advantages he believed the Eagles had, by training on Don Valley, I can see this puts us at a disadvantage. (although Don Valley is somewhat 'unique')
P.S. Sheffield's advantages have now been curtailed, as they aren't allowed on Don Valley as much, since Rotherham United made it their 'home'.
