Rawson Spring 'spoons Hillsborough, 5 minutes walk from Owlerton, also New Barrack Tavern nearby. Mmm!

Lost quite a few players under assorted circumstances, not coping as well as we should with the hankie we choose to call a pitch. Away form's fine - our biggest defeat is at t'Shay, apart from the Cup game at Cas.

I suggest The New Barrack Tavern, which will open at 10am on Sunday for breakfast, or Sunday Lunch at 12, and a good selection of Real Ale.

We have booked in for the carvery in the ground it`s only £11 .95 pp , plus entrance fee ,not been there before but that seems like good value as you can watch the game from the dining area if you wish.

They have done so far but the average will be back up when the 4000000000000000000000000000 Fax regular away support turns up on Sunday.

I've just been on the Eagles and Owlerton Stadium websites. Although mention is made of a map of the stadium showing where you are permitted to stand, I haven't been able to find it.

Is there any covered terracing there just in case heavy rain comes along? Although it is stated that you cannot stand on the 'far side' of the ground, are the ends of the stadium accessible?

If anyone can help with this query, it would be appreciated.

Hudd and hawk-eye thanks for the suggestions. Looks like that'll be one improvement from Don Valley.

Plenty of cover and you can get to both ends.
