Nice new stadium for the oldest club in the world.

I wonder if they have ambitions of moving up the pyramid?

That looks a nice little stadium, good luck to them.

And it's not as if they've got any decent teams nearby to compete with for support!

Looks a tidy stadium, the location is not far from Dronfield and the nice side of Sheffield so looks like someone has done their homework in building their supporter base.

Just as long as their not playing us in a few years time!

If it’s in the Championship then bring it on.  ;)

Think it’s unlikely both clubs will be in the 2nd tier ( understatement ) but no reason why we can’t be in 3/4 years time. None whatsoever.

Dunno about that. It's very close to the Lowedges estate which is as rough as it gets in Sheffield.
