| Controversial but i think if we don't get the crowds and we don't get in superleague in the next round of applying,I for one like Griff think we have missed the boat and will never get in,A serious thought would be to have a "South Yorkshire" team,Im a Sheffielder through and through but if the fans arnt coming from our city and the only way to get into the super league is through a franchised team then i'd be for it,It would have to be done right (Unlike lastime which was a joke and not worth talking about)South Yorkshire is a big area and has the potential,junior development big area (teams already in place),As much as it sounds like a no-no now,I seriously think it would be somthing to consider in the future.A South Yorkshire team in time could draw 6k + crowds,If the fans let it happen,Many won't and don't want it,Fair enough,It's not like football were we have the hate of Wednesday/United,I dont hate Doncaster,Put them together and other South Yorkshire rugby fans and lets have a super league club.It would in time still be our club,but bigger and better.Just a thought.With the dropping crowds in the championship it's going to get worse,Would this breath new life into the area and rugby,The Eagles are doing a great job but we need crowds,I think the next two years is make or break,Heres hoping the crowds come and we do get there on our terms,I fear we be forever chasing the dream.

| No, no and never. I'd rather support a Sheffield team in the Championship than a South Yorkshire team in Super League.

| as eso stated "i would rather support a sheffield championship team than a south yorks s.l team"that would be the stumbling block.i do actualy see where your coming from,but if a south yorks S.L was to be given a franchise,would both sets of eagles and donny fans follow the super league team or stick to there own teams.and i think that is where the problem lies.lets face it south yorks just doesnt want a super league team.so it looks its going to be the same old,same old.its shame realy!!!.

| It's the best, maybe only chance of SL in S Yorks but it's never going to happen.
I doubt that you'd get a majority from either club wanting this.
Let's just hope we can get a regular S Yorks derby at some point in the future.

| Where would you play ?
If you play at Doncaster, it's a Doncaster take-over.
If you play at Sheffield, it's a Sheffield take-over.
If you play at both, the team has no home.

| It's a non starter and personally I'd rather saw my own arm off, I'm tempted to lock the thread.

| Lock the thread Good debate,As i said before if it was done right id be up for it,Theres only so much championship rugby you can watch,At least in years gone by you had a chance to get there via finishing top of the league,That gateway has been shut (wrongly in my opinion),The best days of the Eagles were in the super league,Beating saints,Leeds and Bradford quite regulary and beating wigan and winning the challenge cup,Im sure the dons fans will say the same when they had there season at the top.

No one wants it because there's no plan and there's no plan because no one wants it.
