andyram Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 to Sheffield when we play them again.Thankfully I missed the last away game on the Friday evening due to work. The negatives against would be the expensive admission on paying on the day,the state of the ground/university,heard people saying its like a park with some seats Positives is,its on a Sunday,get a early bird ticket to save money,new ground to kick off the list. What's other fans experience of going there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's other fans experience of going there? After going earlier on this season I vowed never to go to Sheffield again,£20 to stand at side of pitch then we threw a 28-8 lead away conceding a last minute try. But that said I'll be gutted if we won & I wasn't there to witness it,ay well I've got another 11 day's to decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolie Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Not been to Sheffield since the Don valley days In fact think ours was the last game there. It gave me a real insight into what it must be like to watch a rugby game on the moon No people and no atmosphere The dog track debacle only added to the "Sheffield rubbish matchday experience " And had its place in the 1980's when they got going..but not in the modern day era. Sheffield have bent the rules regarding standards of grounds and what's acceptable for paying customers. Not been to the new ground out of protest as the reports I've heard it's not fit for championship 1 or the conference Yes our team is playing there and needs our support.. But As paying customers you except a degree of your getting the service your paying for. Boycott at all costs And donate your hard earned cash to squadbuilder or the amber ribbon.

Piggy's mate Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I went to Sheffield on a damp Friday night and sat at the far end behind the sticks in a small seated stand with little legroom. It was hard to see the far end of the ground because the floodlights were poor and the drizzle didn't help. Sounds bad but..... We won and that made it worthwhile, I've watched us get beat by the Eagles for many years at Don valley and Sheffield Utd and the cesspit with the dog track but beating them at a place no better than Shawcross fields made it worthwhile as any victory does! And it is a supporters lot to go to these places (and complain)!!
