KivoOwl Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The April Fools post has got me thinking - if we needed to play some home games away from Hillsborough because of a problem in S6, where do we reckon we'd play? Hypothetical scenario which hopefully won't happen - a flash flood like the one in 2007 occurs in March, we've got three home games remaining and none of them can be played at Hillsborough. You'd suggest we need a stadium with a minimum capacity of 20k, which rules out Rotherham, Doncaster and Chesterfield. Would the Pigs or Barnsley be open to a groundsharing for 3 games? Would we want to go there? Forest? Notts County? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 We could tour the country, a little like England did when Wembley was being rebuilt. Let the rest of the country share in our massiveness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest _Ibbo_ Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Chesterfield and Owlerton would be half decent shouts. If you exclude their owner...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It'd be the Lane. Not only is it big enough and in the right city, but also they're away when we're at home, so there'd not be a problem with the fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt109 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Millmoor, it would be handy for all the Rotherham Owls. [don't know what the capacity was before the Millers moved to Don Valley] just had a look on Wiki says capacity is only 8,300, could be a tad small.
