Yes it was looked at at Dronfield the pitch was not big enough for Rugby League

As said on another thread I really enjoyed it at Owlerton much better than DVS just a shame there isn't outdoor seats for people that need/want them. If I had it my way I'd put a stand in on the far side and stay there permanently

The last time that we were at Owlerton, there was seating on the stand adjacent to where the players come out on to the pitch. I am not talking about a large stand but some seating for people like myself, who have difficulty standing for a whole match. Not a great problem at away grounds as there are crash barriers to lean on and steps to sit on at half time and before the start of the game.I appreciate that there are seats in the bars but apart from it being warm inside, who wants to watch a game behind glass?

Ah - I see. That wasn't temporary - it was regarded as permanent. Though, with hindsight .......

So have I got this right, you watch the game inside behind glass with a crumbling terrace a dog track and a speedway track in front of you?
Then the pitch is about 85 m with tiny in goals and looks like a pub pitch in quality?
You really do deserve better

Please - it's 88 m. And the ingoals are the same as yours. And, for that matter, most clubs in the league.

So you're complaining that the Owlerton pitch isn't big enough and then suggest somewhere smaller ?

To be fair, I can see you're trying to help but there's already been a lengthy thread on this some six months ago.

Sounds like the toilet facilities are good on the far side and that you can get butties

But I like to get home after the match.

You'd probably need to. You'd have to sell your house to pay for the new stand.
