Conditions at Don Valley
With the running track and comparatively small stands its like playing in a vast expanse.
That and the location makes it prone to be cold and windy. That may favour the passing game. Reuben Reid who I have heard has a deceptively relaxed style is "on fire at the moment" with his goals and Drewe Broughton who has a good scoring record against us is a strong physical presence. Their Manager (just under 52 minutes in): http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...en_27_03_2009/ They are expecting a tough game but approach the game confident in their form.

Re: Conditions at Don Valley
 What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?Away fans are housed in a separate block of seating on one side The Main Stand. As you look at the stadium from the outside of the stadium, then the separate away section is over on the right. As the stadium is sunken into the ground, then this means that you enter the stadium, half way up the Main Stand. The club charge more to sit in the upper tier of the stand compared to the lower tier. It may be an idea to pay the £2 extra as the view will be better and also you are under cover unlike most of the lower tier. With only the Main Stand open, fans set back from the pitch because of the running track, plus looking out onto an empty stadium, then I can't see there being much atmosphere, but I may be proved wrong!

Re: Conditions at Don Valley
Do I not like the look of that! Think I'll have to find a few hostelries along the way to get "in the mood" beforehand!
