Sheffield Eagles home

[RogerT]

Hi there bravehearts, who's for the mud bath again this week.

All being well I'm there. 

Mr Thaler is in charge.

[phildog]

Quite honestly I can't see the pitch passing a fitness test after continued rain and 2 storms. I don't really want to see another game where conditions can dictate a result.

Blinking heck we have stood in worse conditions, but we will see.

By the way did you manage to get the Admin.

Are you for real? It’s rugby league not football

[ernieone]

Yes conditions have been far worse but with summer rugby (ha ha) it is expected that the pitches would be better. Who looks after the pitch since Jim retired?

We have a exciting squad of players it is a shame seeing them hardly being able to stand up never mind run in the conditions.

It also seemed to affect the refs vision around the try line

[phildog]

Thanks Rog, sorted. Watch for the announcement for Sunday AND rain forecast nearly all next week Cup match isn't certain.

Forgive my unreliable memory, but apart from postponements for frost and snow is this a first for MP?

It must be a first at the mount eh… shame really but health and safety must come first especially if an injury occurs especially with the opponents

Gives good notice to the travelling hordes of Eagle supporters.

To be honest I think it’s a sensible decision. I think there’ll be many games cancelled this weekend due to the weather.

Has there been a landslip? 

[The scrim reaper]

Just heard game is off waterlogged pitch, maybe the navy should get a battleship up here while they can, they will probably need the extra fire power next week!

That will be a relief for the person still tabulating the attendance figure for the last match. 

[Kevin Nicholas]

The attendance at the York game was 971 for anyone who wants to know. I was asked once shortly after the match by one journalist and i was doing other things and also at the time didn’t know. I was never asked again and presumably neither was anyone else at the Club.

Anyway people now know. It was disappointing as we expected many more than that but the weather played a big part in reducing the gate.

Reminiscing about the good old days at the Somme, Roger? Remind me again was it you or BSJ in goal for the Xmas day game against the Huns?

[spanishknight]

971 was a very poor crowd to say you were unbeaten, understand York brought about 250/ 270.

No but my grandad would have he was there. That footie match against the Hun was Christmas Day 1914. Like the pun though.

with a population of 200,000, and clement weather, you should be bringing more than 270....

Don't be blaming York supporters for your poor crowds.

It's a fair point. Clubs should be responsible for their own gates and not rely on away support. 

Are you happy with your home gates?

Not really to be honest.

[RPH]
