We played far better in the Fax game.

Our 3 tries last night came from a lucky riccochet from a kick, a knock-on and a brilliant tap back.

We never scored from opening their defence up and breaking their line.

Most importantly though we stopped their momentum in the second half and found a way to win, something we've not done in close games in the league this season.

Sheffield's hotdogs are the second best in the league after Toulouse's.

Why was the open stand at the opposite end to the ticket office. Not good to walk an extra quarter mile with a injured ankle.

That pillock who decided to taunt us about us going down at the end of the game was a disgrace. I'm glad none our fans rose to it.

And last but not least the pint of Thornbridge Jaipur I had in the railway station was a cracker. Let's get some behind the bar.

I believe the open stand is at the opposite end to the ticket office as thats the stand that is facing the TV cameras, sorry to hear about the pillock, obviously not a true Eagles fan as all the regular fans admitted you well and truly deserved it

I think I know who the fan in question is, don't worry about him, i'm not sure he's playing with a full pack of cards if you know what I mean.

Well done Keefleh, you fully deserved the win

It was shame because there was a decent amount of good humoured banter between both set of fans which can only be a good thing. What he did crossed the line betwen banter and provocation and especially dumb considering nearly all the Eagles fans had left the ground by then.

Well done keighley you deserved that win on thursday. What did you all think of bramall lane though?

Re: Bring it on Sheffield!!!!! : Sun May 30, 2010 8:11 am  

Bramall Lane good ground but crowd got lost in it. Facilities great. Atmosphere, I never like looking at empty stands. Fans quiet but in the main good natured. I had a wonderful time.

I've been to Bramall Lane a few times and it's a nice ground.

Easy to get to by train, unlike Hillsborough.

No running track round it like the Don Valley so you're closer to the action.

Because it's a football ground, there's no terracing which is a shame.

Not too keen on buying tickets from a ticket office, it slows the process down too much.

Facilities are first rate, the food was very good although a little expensive.

Last but by no means least is that it's 10 times bigger than you need and twice the size of what even the largest Super League team needs so as Goosey mentioned the atmosphere's lost in the sheer size of the place. I think it's going to take a lot of hard work from the Eagles' backroom staff to boost attendances in a city dominated by 2 of the 3 biggest football clubs in Yorkshire.

Good Luck.
