Yeah i was thinking that. Didnt we end up playing Sunday because the majority of the games had been on Sundays and it was easier for Haven to travel on Sunday? If thats the case and Sheffield have played most of their games Sunday and want to play at Bramhall Lane then we should accept Sunday. Nobody said it was going to be easy finishing Sixth and lets not forget Eagles are favs for this game so if they want to play it Sunday they are not doing themselves any favours either. Which begs the question is it really us kicking up a fuss or do Sheffield want to play the game earlier as well and this is why its taking a while to sort out.

Just a bunch of squatters with no rights over their 'home' ground.

Re: Sheffield Game : Mon Sep 12, 2011 8:38 am  

It would be good if The Eagles came up with their own ground sometime in the near future,so we don't have a repeat performance of all this bickering......I seem to think that this particular game has always been played on a friday since we've had the play offs....correct me if I am wrong...Rugby League is quickly becoming the pantomime of the modern sporting world.....We all want it playing at a certain time to suit ourselves,but the main thing that we want is a good fax performance and a win.
Whoever gets to this match,whenever it is are wherever it is,lets get behind the lads and hope for another win...
I'm in the friday camp,mainly because more of my friends can make it..!!

Looks like the Eagles fans would prefer Friday as well, at least then whoever wins gets a reasonable recovery time.

Nope we want it at Bramall Lane and the only day they'll let us play there is Sunday.

I agree it is a pain in the ar$e not having our own ground, at the end of the day Sheffield is a football city, two big clubs although they're not exactly at their highest ebb at the moment, then we've got Rotherham squatting as well.

And I guess it must really be strain paying money that goes to the Blades as well.

Yes I hate going to that dump for every home game but they don't actually make much money from it in the grand scheme of things and it's for the best for the Eagles so I tolerate it. Beside the point though.
