superten

should re brand as Chester Crusaders and play there perminatly.

i think you could throw Oldham into that mix as a club going forward. Doncaster also have the stadium as do Rochdale.

we currently play 13 home 13 away one magic weekend equaling 27. If they played 9 home league games 9 away league game . Then 4 home super cup games and 4 away that's 26 games.

IMG should look at two leagues of ten and a 3rd league of 16. Super league one = 10 teams Super league two = 10 teams Rugby league Championship = 16 team. With one up one down between the 3 divisions. Minimum standards required to get into super league 2 and above. challenge cup 12 championship clubs or below join the 20 super league teams in last 32. 1895 cup for the 16 championship clubs. new competition for 20 super league clubs. The super league cup. Group games with top 8 making quarter finals.

Are Leigh becoming the Man city of rugby league . Wigan are the Man utd ,while Saints are the Liverpool but are both going to have to make way for Leigh.

as someone who goes to watch Doncaster i can relate or do we go 3 leagues of 12 ?

Looking at the proposal i think most clubs could achieve a B grade with long term planning. The problem is most clubs want instant success to many teams seem to think it there right to be at the top table. A ten year plan by a club could be the way to go about it. Slowly improve stadium till you reach maximum points. At the same time start several young age groups teams as they go through the years your developing a bond between those kids and your club.Also there parents tend to become fans of that club. So your slowly building up your fan base. Social media points shouldn't be hard to get. Another point is that super league is not the be all and end all. When there was no promotion before it didn't mean it was the end of the Championship. There are some good games in the championship and rivalries has been built up in recent years. I do think the championship should be increased to a 16 team league. I know that only leaves 8 teams in league 1 but i think we could bulk that up with offering amateur clubs to participate in that league while remaining Amateur.

where are Sheffield ?

just wondering what would happen if London went down this year and we bring in Toulouse as well . Then the year later catalan came down . HOW would clubs in the championship fund them away trips ? Plus imagine if then they all finished in the bottom 8 of the championship it would be a financial disaster.

got to be honest im not in favour of this new look . Theres no expansion in this infact it looks to me like a step backwards. While you could say the current super had gone a bit flat the new set up brings nothing new. How is this to help England , wales and France ? WE should have sort investors to add new teams to the fourteen . Toulouse should have been added and the crusaders relocated to Cardiff . The possibility of another new team in Manchester . The sixteen could have looked like this Bradford ,Cardiff , Catalan , Huddersfield , Hull FC , Hull KR , Leeds , London , Manchester , St Helens , Salford , Toulouse , Wakefield , Warrington , Widnes and Wigan. European Rugby League Championship 26 weekly rounds with straight top eight play offs like the old premiership. Then instead of challenge cup just have the 16 teams in European knock out cup .

Went to game last night v rams , chairman made statement the club have a meeting with owlerton owners and council on friday with the hope of moving in there. Well done the rams fans last night they must have brought 300 and around ten of them never stop singing well done lads.Shame on Eagles stay away fans though last ever game at dv and only 893 turned up and like I said around 300 were from dewsbury. It hardly sends a message to the council when only around 600 fans turn out .

Looking at it and trying to turn it into a possitive ive looked at possible venues for home games next season in a totally different light having given up hope of a local venue.I think south leeds stadium should be consided sharing with the hawks if possible from s1 to ls11 is around 35 mile nearly all motorway.If we were to play the west yorkshire sides there thats batley,dewsbury,halifax,keighley and featherstone taken care of.Maybe take the crusaders home game to south wales arms park on the new i pitch if poss.The doncaster game may be give up home avantage and play it at the keapmoat.The three cumbians sides id take games if poss to fleetwood town highbury stadium 5,327, morcambe globe arena 6,476 and southport haig ave 6,008 capacity.If they could get them spread out three weekend by the sea might appeal to fans.That just leaves leigh , swinton and possibly oldham again the south leeds stadium if possible.Could maybe have a couple of double headers with the hawks especial in cardiff with eagles playing crusaders and south wales hosting the hawks .

Its a sad state of affairs.I wouldnt want to see them leave sheffield,but if needs must on a temp basis then so be it. Could The Dorothy Hyman stadium in cudworth be an option as a temp home ?

i seem to remember writing an article simular to what he is saying about three months ago in the rugby league fan mail section and got slaughtered by all.Also put the idea on here months ago when i first joined and again got slaughtered now a journo from a news paper suggest it u all think its wonderful

to me it seems the eagles have lost there way with pr.They thought all they had to do was move to BL and fans would come flocking in.True they have do some amazing ticket deals both with season tickets and bulk match tickets but unless you are already a fan you would never know it.Theres no local radio covering games no local radio advertising very little media coverage only match reports in the local paper no news paper advertising not even a bill board in the city centre.Theres no merchadising at all and with the game on program i feel we are losing revenue and advertising our product through the match day program.Even in the old days back at owlerton you use to be able to get a match day poster printed advertising matches which use to get put up in local shops and such.I feel next season will be make or break for the Eagles
