Very sad for both clubs, especially https://widnesvikings.co.uk/sheffield-ticket-update/?fbclid=IwAR2CPolXa_zbb7yXMS_mZ2r-_AXH79LH3wA7tJIppSAuPykGFeSGtRR1kBs Anyone know who made or makes the decision?

Pretty naff on everyone´s part that this game has been targeted and they were either informed last minute or didnt get it up to scratch for what is effectively a relaunch.

I doubt it’s Sheffield Eagles’ fault tbf, they’ll have been told Monday was the big day when the stadium was ready and now this will have happened this week. They’ll be more devastated than anyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzauk Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 It is down to the Safety Advisory Group, who are the ones who license stadiums, nothing the Eagles or Scarborough can do to change their decision.. We are all devasted that Sheffield ###### Council, have yet again screwed us over.... there will still be 800 fans in the grounds, where as they could have just told us no go... I think the other problem is that it is still a sort of building site, and there has only been one test event.. its a start and it can only get better... I dont know one stadium opened recently thats not had teething problems.... here is the article from the local rag https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/sheffield-eagles-let-down-again-says-mark-aston-after-latest-stadium-setback-3701530?fbclid=IwAR1_OWTm9WO8VxOaP7VoOYJ73sXPXy8FHVq3uHgEVdfYGsItMbEm12LndrY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they smash it next season then or have a proper opening when they can get a 1000 plus crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More a view of the reality of what has been built rather than the fantasy island idea some posters on here have that this is going to turn Sheffield into a financial force within the Championship. When this 1st phase is completed (at the end of June) the stadium will have a capacity of 1320. Here's a picture of the 'new stadium' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a picture of the 'new stadium' No one thinks that or has said that.. its a new home and gives eagles a platform to try and get themselves on a sound footing.. Don't understand why someone would have such a downer on a club trying to build itself and on people being genuinely excited that a club like eagles finally get to play in their home city again after everything they have been through... oh yes its Rugby League so everyone has to be down on everything positive.

It will be good to get everyone together and stop travelling around Yorkshire for home games There does seem to a lot of Anti-Sheffield sentiment on here... but after 9 years on the road, we are home, and we havent folded but have gone from strength to strength including winning the inaugural 1895 cup....

silverback Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 All the best with it, did the same safety officers check out owlerton changing rooms and playing area too... with everything thats been aimed at eagles over last few years to overcome, i do really think sheffield will be a mighty force in next 5 years for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Halfpenny fan Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Is this the same ground they were playing at a couple of seasons back? Just because you think everyone hates you doesn't mean they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a modern day odsal in a natural bowl people can stand on the banks iirc which is good as we can hopefully plan the stadium build with “keep having people on the banks so need some proper stands”.. rather than guess when you need them... hopefully 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
