Quote duggs413="duggs413" the major problem is when can we play because Thu - Sat Nights are already booked with Speedway and Greyhounds so that just leaves Sat and Sun Afternoon and they occassionaly have stock cars on a Sunday
'"
If there is only occasionally stock cars on a sunday i'm sure they could plan some fixtures around that, I just can't see that being a problem
Quote duggs413="duggs413"
During a Greyhound meeting Customers can only use the Paddock and the Bars
which would not be much good for Rugby League Supporters who would prefer
to stand on the terraces '"
But the terraces are used for stock car racing and speedway in which only the back straight doesn't get used so holds around 3500, some do go out to the terracing during greyhound racing that i've been too although not many
i'm guessing by what you know with working there they are not permitted too during dog racing hence not many going out on the terraces?
Quote duggs413="duggs413" I cant see Sheffield Council giving money to a private company to improve their facilities and I cant see Owlerton management put in any money because refurbished terraces would not increase their business.'"
I think the council are taking more of an interest the sheffield star and radio sheffield are running features this week to highlight the clubs plight and the council have responded, they've just spent 750k on woodburn road for athletics i'm sure they could help us get the stadium up to scratch for the RFL to rubber stamp it it simply doesn't need big refurbishments to get that rubber stamp it already has a certificate for 3000+ standing and corporate The main things would be sorting the pitch out and removing the concrete from the side of the pitch etc
What we do know now after reading the statement is this is the last chance saloon if this falls through then Rugby league in Sheffield is gone wheather it be a rebranding in another town, finished altogether or god knows what
