I could've bet my house on the top two replies being the first responses and from those users. Absolutely tiresome. If you don't want to sign it, don't sign it. If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all is what I was always taught. The fanbase might not be massive (oh for those huge 1500 crowds Halifax draw) but the club means a lot to those that do attend regularly and have done for many years. Just because supporters aren't great in number does it make them any less passionate? No, of course it doesn't.


It's an official petition on the council website and if it gets so many signatures (maybe 2500?) then it has to be discussed in local government, I believe.

Things are looking promising at Owlerton but things like this only help, so thanks to those of you that do take the time to sign it.

See you all behind the sticks Thursday!

Signed. I can't believe the anti-Eagles comments above. Come on, guys. We've had our own problems in the past and the RL community rallied to our cause.

It would be a real shame if the Sheffield club went out of business, not due to bad management and money problems, but simply because they have nowhere to play.

They are not asking for money, just a miserable signature!

Some people at times let our club down with such comments in my opinion. Sheffield are not asking for money like we did. Sheffield may not have a massive fan base- but neither do we! Sheffield are a club who are not just doing well on the field but do alot of local development work. Does it really matter that just because Sheffield get smaller crowds than us we can so "bugger you"? Come on lets support Sheffield and show them that Fax fans are there when you need them and are a decent bunch. Some of the comments above for me are frankly out of order.

Thanks to the Voices of Reason.

What Griff said, thanks for those comments. Appreciated.

Signed.

Also agree with what Lucky Black Cat says.

For some people throwing rocks from their glass house does seem to come a bit too easy.

Signed, all in the good cause of rugby league.

hope they get something sorted and get to stay in sheffield

Signed and good luck x

Signed,totally agree with LBC comments

Signed and good luck.

I'd imagine the number would be higher. To get 2500 people to sign a petition in a city the size of Sheffield can't be too hard?

Owlerton is a decent option IMO as its a damn sight easier to get back over the hill from there!

Signed and good luck.

Only 454 signed so far.

signed but if Sheffield want a Rugby club it needs more backing from its people its quite appalling really. Good luck anyhow to the few loyal fans.

Thanks to all those that took the time to sign this for us. As you can imagine it's horrible to think you could lose your team.

Also I'd like to thank the two lads who came up to us after last nights games and congratulated us. Hope to see you all again next year.
