Not much point in discussing the "advantages" then.

No I guess not unless they would be more sympathetic if asked again.

So so disappointed how the Lane arrangement has ended up. . . . But typical United and that's from someone who's watched over 500 football games there. The directors are the sole reason I stopped going there.

Was Sir Milan Mandaric there the last time we enquired?

Just a thought...

No, he wasn't. It was the old board that were too busy suing people with cancer to worry about having to paint rugby lines on the pitch.

Might be worth giving him a ring.

Maybe we could have a word with Rotherham,The New York Stadium?Maybe the USA could get there world cup games played there.

new york stadium would be great you'd think the millars would jump at the chance of getting someone else to contribute to the cost of the stadium - they can't be well off.

and we now have a clue about Keith (know different topic) - but lets think young agile Misi or getting on and a bit arthritic keith hmmm?

It's in Rotherham.

End of discussion.

You could support your home town team then

But please be aware that Thorpe is the Beverly Hills of Rotherham.

The chavs in Thorpe even wear real Burberry

Blame my Dad.

And Thorpe Hesley's not in Rotherham anyway, our telephone number starts 0114

I wish i wouldnt have said owt,Cue Griff and his geography lesson.

And as ESO has pointed out before he's nearer to DVS

From a fans point of view then what would people prefer?

A mix of BL and DVS
DVS only

It's Catch 22.

To build crowds, corporates etc we need to be at Bramall Lane but people want consistency and we need a fixed home ground for Super League but I doubt Don Valley could be that...

I agree Liam - catch 22.

My opinion is that 3 games at BL isn't enough and if it was going to be that all the time then despite the fact that I don't really like DVS we have to consider being there 100%

Things might be different when United get their plastic pitch next year.

I must be the only person here who doesnt hate Don Valley.

Yes Doctor,Funny that Griff,Heard the plastic pitches were coming back and being legal,the question is,Can you play rugby on a plastic pitch?

You're not, I don't mind it either.

Being far away from the pitch is a bit of a bugger, and BL is a better venue, but Don Valley doesn't offend me the way it does some people.

Widnes do.

What's wrong with Don Valley is it's empty.

I blame Tim.

Cos BL is packed to the rafters.

I wouldn't say that I hate DVS but it's just not as good as BL.
As well as being a better atmosphere in the stands and being closer there is also the overall match experience because of the facilities in the suites.

Don Valley is probably easier for me to get to by car and parking is easier. For me, it's much more difficult to get to by public transport but saying that I'd only bus or tram it if I was having a drink and staying out after the game and that's going to be unlikely anyway because at DVS the post match experience just doesn't happen and a night out on the 'cliffe doesn't really excite me (although for a certain type of gentleman I'm sure it does).

Is the reduction of the number of games at BL a temporary thing or have SUFC just lost interest now that they aren't getting a RLWC game?

No it isn't.



I blame Tim.
