Better stadium and good for the fans, not sure it helps the Eagles though, they still dont have their own stadium and their finances are partly in the hands of a rival sport. This doesnt strengthen their super league prospects for me unless the Blades have given them a 20 year guarantee on a minimal rent.....which I doubt they have somehow.

Sharing with football clubs and not having their own staidum killed the Broncos, it's not the way forward imo. At least the DVS was council owned (?) and the Eagles had some security there.

What ever your opinion is off me is irrelevant. I have a valid point and don't like it.

If you don't like it..why make it?



As the owners of the Eagles (Thompson/Adams etc) wanted the merger there was consent so no 'rape'

occured.

Somehow I think other SL clubs will be relegated before the Giants.

The eagles are a VERY well run club with NO overdraught or debts, how many other clubs can say that, they could get respectable crowds and Bramall Lane meets the required standards ok, so why not Eagles for SL?

I think the main gripe for people is the crowds they get. Little over a thousand, which would probably translate to Salford-sized crowds in SL at best. If they can get them up to about 2,000 in CC then it might give them a better standing.

Could swap em for Salford and get a better run club with a better stadium then

I'm kinda liking Salford at the moment.


I like that we have a team based in an area where you can film a series based in 1973 and not need to use movie props to get the effect.

Or you could swap them for an even better club?

I think that maybe one out-of-season match on the road would be the way to do this. SL play an away friendly while the local Championship side plays in the first match of the double-header.

As it would not be SL the rights could go to the BBC and it could get promoted as a national thing.

(Just this weekend I saw a "this is how the NFL works" show on ... 5? ... in the buildup to the match in London, why not have the on-the-road matches be with a view to being on TV, with a build-up show to explain to novices?)

I dont really see this as making the Eagles any more of a potential SL entrant , Both stadia are far too big and neither will generate atmosphere with the crowds they get at the moment or even if they did get a SL place

If they could find a 5,000-10,000 capacity stadium they might start to get somewhere
