Hallam Uni will/have be taking over the running of Woodbourn Road so we should be speaking to them !!! as we have close relationship with them surely we can come to some sort of arrangement I might pop in on the way to the game on sunday to check what state it is in.

Re Don Valley I would image that the contract for the demolition would be won by a reclamation company they would probably charge a small fee for demolition however get to reclaim anything of value like seats and metals anyway they are attached to concrete so would be difficult to make a temp stand with

That's heartening news they will want somewhere for the hallam eagles to play two!

They don't need to meet particularly demanding criteria.

All the best with this guys, rivalry aside I hope you get somewhere as near to "home" as possible

I may be saying something that's already been looked into but what about Handsworth Football club,They have there own ground on olivers mount,Very basic but it is a ground (Not like St Marys),Has it's own clubhouse,Very small stand,Nowere near the 500 limit,Just wondering if it has been looked into,As it stands it wouldn't be upto scratch,But would only need a temporary seating off 500 and theres plenty off places to stand close to the pitch,If the council is willing to help then that is the only stumbling block,Decent location near to the Don Valley ground,Im sure Handsworth arnt a very rich club and the council in building a stand would be doing both teams a favour and im sure Handsworth would also appreciate another income stream in the Eagles playing there,Just a thought.

You're right, it has been looked in to.

Not suitable.

The trouble with non-league soccer grounds is that they're very likely to be less than the required 110 yards minimum length.

There's a group appealing to keep DVS open and run it independently. I believe the outcome will be revealed on September 26.

I have just looked on their website the petition only has 18 signatures !! Hopefully they can find a way to keep the DVS open but i cant see how they could generate income to pay the running costs and it is looking a little bit run down and will need refurbish work which will cost money

They've got two hopes.

Bob Hope and no hope.
