Never been a fan of Don Valley. It is a step in the right direction.

Good to hear - hope some SL teams act to get their stadia in order soon too.



In all seriousness though, can Sheffield maintain a well attended RL team as well as 2 near top flight football teams, elite league ice hockey team and whatever else they have? It's a big ask.

I hope potential Owls supporters won't be put off by this.

a good move, but football will always rule in sheffield, they always found it hard to get a decent gate even when in superleague, as for the ice hockey team, their attendences have droppped dramatically

Same story for most Ice Hockey teams. The Steelers are moving out of Sheffield next year and Manchester left the MEN not that long ago.

As long as they clean up the pig muck before the RL it should be a good move.

Dont mean to be funny but it will look shocking having 800 in a 35,000 stadium.

That's a superb move. No doubt at all that people were put off by the Don Valley, should imagine it will be a big success.

I'm not football expert but i knew a few sheffield fans and as i recall the owls played there before the blades did, so i cant imagine this would put them off.

The Don Valley Stadium is a 25,000 seat stadium. Does having 800 people in the DVS look good?



The fact is that even if the Eagles don't improve their gates at Bramall Lane, every one of those 800 people will get a massively superior view and experience of the game. This is a great move for Sheffield.

So Lets get this straight.



There are much smaller clubs outside super league who have better stadiums than even some top teams





Why have smaller clubs been able to sort it yet st helens, wakey and cas have not.



There are 6 teams outside super league with better stadiums than ones in super league. There are no excuses anymore for the big clubs not having up to date stadia.
