Very easy journey up to Sheffield for me

Easier and not that much longer than Wimbledon with traffic 

Do I go??? Hmmmm

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Got a feeling we nick this one

I can recommend Papas Fish and Chip restaurant if you’re hungry after the drive. Assuming you come off the M1 at 34 it’s very easy to find, it is what was the pub on the roundabout opposite Sheffield Arena. Plenty of parking, licensed for those not driving and open after 1200 and it’ll still be open after the game finishes.

 

its not particularly cheap but there is also a takeaway on the side and lots of covered outside tables.

 

Although the pies are ok at the OLP catering isn’t a patch on Plough Lane.

Thanks for the tip mate

Yes the Plough Lane food options are a highlight

Has this got any radio coverage at all?

LOL we are coming up from London Prices... So it still will probably be a lot cheaper than what we have to pay in London

I can't find any. It seems rather odd that this is such an important game and all you can do is follow it on Twitter

If it had involved a club in an area covered by BBC radio Cumbria, Merseyside, Manchester, Leeds, York or Humberside I'm pretty sure they would have broadcast it.

Some of the better supported championship clubs also have their own commentary (or someone linked in some way to the club).

Unfortunately the level of interest in RL in Sheffield and London doesn't seem to warrant it being covered by local radio.

For those without viaplay TV, the other game tonight will be on BBC radio Leeds and York and Mick Gledhill's Bradford adjacent stream.

Unfortunately BBC Radio Sheffield, dont care about Rugby League in Sheffield, but put all there efforts into Football, 5 nights a week on the radio.. and very little other coverage of either the Dons or the Eagles..

We have mentioned it before about doing commentary for those who can't get to the game, like me today as full of cold and drinking lemsip, so reading on from the twittersphere...

[Expatknight]

0-24 at half time, not looking good for the Eagles!

[Barley Mow]

Sheffield 0-24 London at halftime.

[mozzauk]

We are throwing it away, 

 

0 - 30 straight after H/T we are doing what is know as a Blunts, and throwing it away..

[mozzauk]

Eagles have thrown it away... 0 - 36 28 , 18 mins to go

[Magic XIII]

Lovely, just need a York win and were off to Toulouse.

[mozzauk]

You guys have outplayed and outclassed us today... 

Think our players are hungover from the presentation evening on Friday...

[mozzauk]

 

 

 

 

We just didnt turn up, absolute gutting end to the season!!! roll on 2024

[paulwalker71]

That's an astonishing result!

Looks like it could be 2018 all over again...

[Expatknight]

0-42 not even close, away too, wouldn’t surprise me if the Broncos went all the way, been nicely under the radar.

If York win, Fev play York and Toulouse play London.
