With Rochdale, Workington & Sheffield there, I think they will only need to open 2 stands. It'll be the lowest ever attendance for a long time.

Let's hope it's Leigh who win on thursday, in all honesty, other than us when we've been on top form they've been the best two teams this year.



I'll stick my neck out and hope for a Fev win, but if Leigh do get there I can see them beating the chokers.

I realise Sheffield are on form jeff, but our three games against them this season have turned out:

NRC (H) Won 68-6
Champ (A) Won 44-8
Chemp (H) Won 34-22

We have to think we have a slight chance on Thursday, when I hope that Sheffield's insistence on playing Sunday, backfires on them!

You should walk it then, no pressure on us



I see the scoreline has been closer and closer each time, who knows.

Neither Halifax nor Sheffield WANTED to play on Sunday, unfortunately circumstances restricted the day available as Sheffield United played on Saturday and the Friday night was not available which left SUNDAY.

Your short memory of Sheffield losing in the league last season, to Leigh, I believe Leigh's season ended last season at LSV in the Championship Play-Off game v Sheffield. History shows that when Sheffield lose 2 games against a team in league matches they seem to "bounce back".

ps 3 previous "cup/play-off" matches between Sheffield and Leigh at Leigh have resulted in wins for Sheffield each time.
Leigh 18 Sheffield 62; Leigh 11 Sheffield 66, Leigh 24 Sheffield 26.

pps....in Sheffield results go
Sheffield 23 Leigh 17
Sheffield 32 Leigh 5
Sheffield 42 Leigh 10
Sheffield 46 Leigh 10
and finally in the Blackpool 9's Quarter Final: Sheffield 50 Leigh 10



We shall see...

If only games were to go with trends eh, Leigh have built a formidable team this year, Cant see past them to be honest, Makes no difference other than monetary gain and pride for either team, if you got their into the final it would be a tick against a SL frnachise bid but the only tick sheffield are likly to get, Leigh have at least 2 boxes ticked already.

Rugby league though is all about pride ( someone should have told our lot that yesterday ) so good luck on thursday.

Its always been a Fev v Leigh Final, sorry Sheffield you had your cup Final on Sunday you will get beat at Leigh who will be smarting from last week at Fev.
As for the Final who knows???

Ha the rugby league would hate the eagles to win

Att - 4000 max

Talk utter shiiiiiiite theeee
Be between 3/4k Rovers minimum mostly trouble causing inbreds
Workington will come out of woodwork 1.5 / 2 k used to have a good following did town
Keighley or Rochdale if it Keighley 1k Rochdale 500
Sheff 500
My prediction if sheff get there 7.5k about the same as the super league bound Salford Crusaders clash

Yes but by the time you play the other will have all left and there will be a little section of Sheffield fans that will sound like they are whispering, getting drowned out by Flat cappers.

I agree. i really don't know what more they can do to get people interested in Sheffield. But year after year, the fat lad always gets a team to cause some ripples!

I think it a classic eg of why expansion of rl in this country will never work. Takes Rovers classic eg you and i know are crowds arnt what they should be but when we get to a final everyone wants a piece, mine and my friends phone hasnt stopped ringing all day folk wanting to go to the final. We normally take minibus full we already have 2 coaches filled and could easily fill 2 more. Sheffield just dont have this, the game isnt engrained in the local culture, they will only take there regulars to the final, if they make it. Shame because they are a good well established club now, i dont know the answer maybe there isnt 1

Leigh will not count their chickens.

If we do get there, I will have to watch in a bar in Turkey. Pretty sure Leigh will sell out their allocation though, so should assist towards a sell out!

3-4k rovers fans???(MINIMUM) dont talk shhitte, you can't manage 2k at home

Don't mince your words horseyfax

Theres one thing there wont be 3-4 k fax fans will there me old matey

There's more Fev fans on here than there will be at HJ

Theres definately more fev fans on here than there will be fax fans at HJ

Let's hope its not a wasted journey like last year



just spotted your sig; Rugby League leaders 2010 and 2011

, does that mean you think you will choke again at the HJ

You know what they say horsey ?

" One swallow doesn't make a summer" or in your case a team full of eagles made sure you dont make a final..











Not as much as you choked against Sheffield

Which is it then son, 1 min we had hoardes of hooligans who treat fax fans like =#0000FF******* all day and wouldnt have banter with them. Next weve no fans, what is it

[i=#0000FFTut-tut. Please refrain from use of such language. TS[/i

Or as much as Fev did at HJ last year in the GF. How did you lose from such a massive lead?



BTW, good luck in the final. Finished top two years on the trot, but deffo best team in this league this season.

though we'd finally got rid of this fev troll....





heard Daryl Powell signed for Wakefield, go and discuss this on your forum and leave us alone DAD!

And so it goes on and on and on and on ....

Thread title is nearing reality.

Leigh 6
Sheffield 14

25 mins to go.

So, Aston's leading his men to a GF. What's everyone's take on this guy? Not his off field mouthyness but his coaching. Done a good job hasn't he?
