Sheffield Indoor Cricket Centre

Got training there tomorrow night due to a match being cancelled. Anybody from Sheffield been there? Only opened in March so I've got high hopes! Any experiences?

It's in Burngreave, looks really nice, 3 lanes, nice and long which is something I always feel is a problem - short sports hall nets. Apparently only £15/hour including bowling machine. Can see myself spending a lot of time there if it's good!

Went down there for nets tonight. The lanes are lovely and nice and long so plenty of run up space so it's easier to practice getting a rhythm off full run up! Great value as well at £15 per hour per lane, including use of bowling machine! Definitely going to be going back soon.

£15 per hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Christ on a bike that's cheap.

You lucky Northerners - I suppose these cheap prices make up for the drizzle, warm beer and lack of sanitation!

i have been here weekly for the last few weeks with a local club.

it still works - double length nets, 3 lanes, lovely chap who runs it whose name i ashamed to say i haven't picked up yet.

its on petre street through burngreave past some factories - i.e. not where you might be expecting.

They have just put in some more lights which does seem to make a difference.
