Subject: Sheffield Eagles v Halifax

Dear RFL

Sorry to disturb you on a Sunday afternoon.

Any chance of releasing the date/time/venue for this match? A week is a long time in politics but in Rugby League it flies by in the blink of an eye. At the moment, I can only speculate when the match might be and if I may draw your attention to your own feedback on Halifax RLFC’s license submission; it reads:
“……figures presented by the club as the budget and performance forecasts for the 2012-14 License period were speculative and the club did not provide sufficient information”

I know what you mean – annoying isn’t it?

Would appreciate it if you could come up with at least a plan as to when this match takes place, given that there’s only seven days left to choose.

Thanks

It was always going to be Sunday at Bramall Lane but Halifax have told the RFL they want to play on a Friday not the Sunday, sure it will all be sorted by tomorrow morning, looking forward to a good game.

Why would anyone want the game to be played on sunday. Only giving the team that wins 3 days to prepare for a game at Leigh or Fev. I can only think Sheffield think there aren't gonna win and trying to make it more difficult for Halifax

Re: Sheffield Game : Sun Sep 11, 2011 5:23 pm  

I have now been told it can't be played on Thursday so we will just have to wait for tomorrow to find out.

They're athletes, 4 days is plenty o' time!

Why would a team who finished higher than us,have home advantage, smashed us at said home earlier in the season and have scored 90 points in the past two games suddenly think they can't beat us?

My wife comes from Sheffield and on visiting the ma in law today i could smell the fear in the city. Sheffield are aware of the inevitability of what is about to happen on Thursday/Friday/Sunday

Aye we're going win. Standard Just highly doubt Sheffield are planning our downfall knowing they're going to.

I was talking to Aston at West Park Leeds RU club yesterday at a service area U/18's festival that my lad & his lad were both playing in. He reckons they want to play at Bramhall lane & the only chance they have to play there is sunday aft. They don't want to take it to Don Valley but if they have to it'll likely be on friday. I hear that our club prefer a thursday fixture.

Not being funny but you finished 6th so should have no say when the game should be played really,As long as its before sunday,then its our decision and there is no problem.
