    The Architects , Engineers , consultants and those that passed plans for that stand should be jailed .

    They're probably all dead, it was built nearly 60 years ago.

    At the very least, this should have been phase 1 price until the end of the season when divisional status is confirmed. If we go down, freeze them, if we stay up, maybe increase with plenty of notice.

    But expecting me to part with £570 at the end of January and with no notice, plus only giving me a week to do it before they shoot up, is something I can't justify. 

    Not financing it either as I'm still paying off this season's until April.

    It'll be membership and pick 'n choosing matches for me next season. Probably no away games either.

    Reopening of the Don Valley Line would coincide perfectly with the reopening of the Barrow Hill Line, as after Darnall trains can easily continue straight on into a reopened Victoria or branch south at Nunnery into the existing Midland.
     

    Reopening of the stations at Neepsend is Wadsley Bridge is surely feasible.

    Oughtibridge and Deepcar might need a bit of consideration as the original station sites have long been private dwellings, and to be fair the Deepcar station site is quite a way out of the village centre.

    Stocksbridge would benefit from a terminus station somewhere along the existing line to the steelworks, perhaps adjacent to the Fox Valley Shopping Park, bang in the middle of the town.

    Personally, living in Killamarsh, it would become the quickest way for me to get to town (15 mins?) or Hillsborough (25 mins?).

    I do not condone the personal attacks on his family, or any personal abuse.

    But all he is doing now is starving the club of cash until we adhere to his policies. Making out he is the victim and blackmailing the fans.

    In retrospect, he should have sold up in 2017 when his 2 year plan to reach the prem failed. His plans might have worked fine had we gone up and stayed up. They're obviously not working down where we are.

    Since then it has been embargo, relegation, fines and point deductions.

    I don't really remember as at the time I was only 5 and 9 months but I would have been in school, having just started second year of infants (Year 1).  

    My dad tells me he was in Argos on Angel Street and my mum was at work.

    The date only became vivid for me two years later when my brother was born, and for the first few years my memories of his birthdays are just TV channels playing documentaries and relocations of 9/11.

    Barman Glen Small must be suffering from double vision when he says there were twelve pubs on the Wicker in the 1980s.

    It depends on if you just count the Wicker itself, or the continuations of the Wicker route and its offshoots.

    On the Wicker itself there would have been 7 -:

    The Station
    The Viaduct
    The Bull & Oak

    The Brown Cow

    The New White Lion

    The Big Gun

    The Lion

     

    But then on Savile Street just after the arches there was the Hole in the Wall.
     

    On Nursery Street just just round the corner there was the Hare and Hounds.

     

    Then on Waingate just after the bridge there was the Lady's bridge and Bull and Mouth.

     

    Just on the side streets was the Harlequin (old) and then the Manchester Hotel (present day Harlequin).

     

    Then Harlequin now is the only pub I'd consider within the Wicker "area" - i.e. anything between the River Don and the railway arches, though most today would see it as the very far end stretches of Neepsend and Kelham.

    Buy a crate and have a can outside every building which used to be a pub 😁

    The Wicker only has one pub now, and has done for the best part of the last 20 years, the Big Gun (even that has closure rumours circulating).

    Nearest other pubs are the Harlequin at the top of Nursery Street, the Dorothy Pax on Victoria Quays or the Norfolk Arms at the bottom of Dixon Lane.

    While on the subject of Attercliffe and Darnall, as far as I understand it there is -:

    Attercliffe = Carlton, Don Valley Hotel, Library by Lounge, St Mars of the Desert brewery.

    Darnall = Terminus, Horti Club, White Rose, Half Moon, 3 Feathers.

    Agreed ! Not standing up for Leeds but sure I read somewhere that their supporters club had managed  some sort of compromise ie if the away team reciprocated they would charge the same ie Cardiff game is £23 for away supporters and Leeds will pay that on return game 

    also seems some obscure rule that where the away end is shared with home supporters the away tickets will be the same ie £47

    cant find it now so maybe wrong

     

    The rule is away fans can't be charged more than what home fans pay for the same view.

    For example at Hillsborough, away fans can't be charged more on Leppings Lane than home fans are on the Kop as its the same view from behind the goal.

    So at Leeds yes, the rest of the stand is charged at £47 so away fans can and will also be charged £47.
