It’s a brilliant pitch never floods, it was know has the Hill 60 ground. Earl Grey, Horse & Jockey pub teams used to play there. It’s now never used it belongs to RMBC give them a ring T/S it would make a great training ground complex.Stop pumping money into the Roundwood site it’s crap.
A nice thought but unfortunately nowhere near big enough Lol. I doubt they could get two pitches on there, let alone the 4 they probably really need as a minimum. In addition the access down Peashill Street is just as bad as the Green Lane access into Roundwood. On the plus side, Brian Sawyer lives (or used to about 50 years ago) at the bottom of the slope on the East side of the land so he could always boot the balls back if they ended up in his garden XD
I played on it for the Tanic. More land than you think.Quote:

A £2m investment in a proper set up probably wouldn’t be enough but it would be on the land owned by TS and he would get a return on it when he sells.
To sell the club better I believe that we’d attract more players if they didn’t have to drive through Rotherham to get to a second rate training ground. That was the thinking when the land was purchased.
Who was in your team frog.Quote:

I was only a young lad of 17 - 18. I remember the name South as a centre back. And by face I know some of them.Quote:

Nowhere near as big as Roundwood and you'd not get a car park, admin office, surgery, youth facilities etc on it.
