Back in the day, when I made many, many vists to Owlerton watching speedway, I always went through Hudds and via Pensitone, so it's quite northerly in relation to the centre, not far from Hillsborough, [just after, when coming in from the north?] IIRC. There is / was little terracing and the view is likely to be less good than Don Valley, I'd guess. Owlerton was brilliant for watching speedway, not sure sure for rugby though, as I say, I haven't been there for yonks - guess I'll find out!!
Well funnily enough - being a closet Eagles fan - and not wanting to see another thrashing at Odsal - we watched Eagles V Featherstone in May this year...
Difficult to find the right words really, once inside it felt like it was 1972. Its primarily a dog track and nothing else.
I felt sorry for Sheffield, being forced into playing here - its going to be difficult for them.
There is no terracing - its a concrete slope so you just jostle for a view with your feet pointing down at an angle.
Toilet and food facilities are OK and the Eagles do try to make it welcoming - I would think if Bulls build up a decent away following - there could be a few laughs ahead - packed onto the sloping concrete.
