I did catch a little of a Sheffield radio station today (Hallam)?, and some of the regular listeners are having a moan about Don Valley closing, most of them complaining more about the loss of a large outdoor concert arena than a sports stadium.

I wouldn't be surprised if the locals didn't form some kind of protest group over the closure.

The problem is their protesting about loosing the don Vally but the vast majority will never have set a foot in the place, if they want it to stay they should take over the running cost off keeping a place open what does not see many athletic programs

They can protest all they want, but as far as I can tell it is too late. The decision has been made, which would make sense as budgets are due for councils about now.

I really want to see Cas persue this properly, it would seem a great outcome for the club, in one stroke we get better facilities and hit the SL requirements for ground size. It's cheaper than relocating and the club maintains ownership of the ground. Because of the facilities in the stadium other revenue streams could open up too.

I have noticed a thread on the V.T encouraging fans to sign the petition to save Don Valley.

Oh well Plan C...lets get the old golf stands from New Craven Park and make that the away end

I once went to eatch Spice Girls at Don valley about 15 year back. Great days at the Don back then.

If sheffield council let us take the stand for the cost of removing it, the council release the 2 million and we can get some funds from the bod, sponsors and fans (buy a brick money) i believe we could do this and wheldon road would be massively improved, would love this to come off.

Certainly sounds more logical than just knocking it down!
I wonder what a stand like that's actually worth in scrap?

There can't be much money in scrap, Wakey fans should know that.
