Signed.

I went to university in Sheffield, so got to see a fair bit of the Eagles between 1996 and '99 when they were in their prime. If it isn't bad enough what happened to them from 2000 onwards, then this has to be the final insult. If Sheffield City Council can't accommodate them in a city of that size (is it still the fourth largest city in England?), then there is just no hope for the future of top-class sport in that part of the world.

I was over in Yorkshire earlier in the week (resplendent in my wires top I hasten to add) and there was an item in the local news about the eagles, and them leaving Don Valley.

At the moment Owlerton sounds like their best option, but they'd have to do a lot of renovation to the stadium to relay the pitch and improve the dressing rooms. They obviously don't have much money so are hoping the council and local investors step in.

Even in a sport where this kind of thing is sadly becoming commonplace, the passion and sadness of the speccies was really touching - given the average crowds I wrongly thought they'd go with a whimper but the fans were genuinely distraught.

Yep Owlerton is the only option, especially now as SUFC have new owners who have no interest in the rugby league. If that doesnt come off I believe the club will move into a venue outside of the city. I think we all agree Don Valley was a pretty awful place to watch rugby league, I just hope we have somewhere to call home next season!

If they cant sort something out in Sheffield (which hopefully...and rightfully they should so) a move to Doncaster MIGHT happen.

What about Rotherham?

or Chesterfield?
