I'm planning to be in Sheffield for the game. If anyone hears anymore about the venue it would be good to have it posted on here. I have to say I'd like a 30 mile trip to a game - coming in from the edge of Southend, especially with weekend engineering work on the railway, is a bit of a trek.

Just been looking at the Eagles website. Firstly they are still stating on the Visit the Eagles section of their website, that the home games will all be played at Belle Vue Wakefield. Think that that needs updating.
More worrying is that the site states that all tickets for our game on Sunday are sold out. This I cannot believe, so I wonder if there is a more sinister reason?
Toronto's game apparently is also sold Out.
It may only be that they post tickets out and it is simply a time issue.
I think I need to contact them tomorrow and find out.

Website updated. You can buy match tickets at £15 a pop..

That is good.

This should be a walk in the park, but these are the games when you can come unstuck. Don't see Wardy getting carried away at this stage. Broncos by 20.

We were awful away to Sheffield last season. I cannot see that being repeated.
They do not appear to have the strongest of squads. Perhaps a few of our old players might up their game. I do expect us to win.

I'd put Meadows on bench here, and if we are winning comfortably take Sammut off, and see how Api and Meadows Gel. I think we need to see how we perform without Sammut if he should get an injury, so being able to take him off last 20 mins if we are winning comfortably and see how squad copes would be something to be considered

I have a feeling this will get conveniently postponed due to the weather. Giving Sheffield longer to get the stadium done.

It would probably suit Sheffield to have this game postponed. If they planned to install the temporary stand this week the weather would have hindered the work.
From what I see from the outside the club is in a mess and not playing the game would give them extra time to get sorted.

It may be that Sheffield need to play the game on Sunday to get some much needed cash into the club.
It is the big. Return to Sheffield event and having yet to play a home fixture they may well be desperate for cash .
Anyhow the pitch should be okay and we should feel quite at home on it.

I think that is a really good idea, I do worry about Sammut getting injured, he really is key for us. Also wonder if as previously mentioned the game gets postponed due to weather? Might suit Sheffield who are having a pretty awful run

If it is played I would expect us to win, but it probably wont be a walk in the park as conditions wont be great and some ex-Broncos in the squad!

game called off...

Poor Cliffy......
