Eagles Chief Operating Officer Liam Claffey said, “It is disappointing we have had to postpone our first game back in Sheffield at the Olympic Legacy Park.
“However after meeting with the RFL and Pat Smith (Ground Safety Officer) it became apparent that the game could not take place and we fully support the decision.”
“The safety of players, officials and supporters is paramount and we hope that making an early announcement assists those that were planning on coming to Sunday’s match.”
“We thank London Broncos for their understanding and a re-arranged date will be confirmed for the fixture in due course.”
