Sheffield nomads : Sat Oct 25, 2014 6:58 pm  

To share with Doncaster until new stadium build in 2016, 2016? My ar-e, no disrespect intended but? what is the point of a club who doesn't know from season to season, from month to month and even day to day where they are going to play?
How does that impact on the home supporter's taxi?
Mind you Seagulls have always confirmed the spectator is second best to sponsors
Apart from London and Sheffield would the RFL indulge other clubs?
Taxi please, where to? Not sure.

I am sure it's worrying but I thought you'd sorted out the rent arrears?

And yet your club is considering killing itself off and becoming a farm club

Yeah we did. We pleaded "iconic" status and got the RFL to cover it for us. As well as begging for another half a million that we spunked on anything but paying creditors.

At least London & Sheffield play in London & Sheffield.
Swinton are just as nomadic and haven't played in Swinton since 1992.
Blackpool Borough played at Borough Park, Bloomfield Road, Wigan Athletic, Chorley, Trafford & Fylde
Huddersfield have played at Fartown, Leeds Road, Galpharm and in Sheffield.
Oldham have played at Watersheddings, Oldham Athletic, Ashton, Sedgeley Park and Whitebank.

It's a sorry state of affairs admittedly and not one confined to our sport as football has got it's share of nomadic clubs outside the Premier League (Brighton, Bradford PA, Kettering, FCUM)

Excellent points.

We'll have a nice new shiny stadium in 2016. Ask nicely John and we might even let you in it!

I will be there along with all the other Faxfans that regularly outnumber you Seagulls.

Good man, and as a serious point, I hope that the new ground can actually provide the catalyst to getting bigger crowds to Eagles games, would be nice to watch a home game in a purpose built rugby ground.
