The game is in a mess, I'm sure they'll come through it, but how many more clubs are on the brink I wonder.

Very sad news. Having no proper stadium to play in but going full-time seemed like a strange route to take. I hope they pull through. We need rugby to thrive across South Yorkshire. The game will be much poorer should Sheffield not survive.

I think in hindsight was a very bad decision to go full time , with no ground , fewer fans than us !

Good luck for the future though .

Sheffield Eagles CEO John Whaling has reported that the Club is close to finalising a rescue package with a new owner and that the same investor plans to develop a new stadium at the Olympic Legacy Park.

Yes, they have conceded that the stadium won't be available at the start of the 2017 season but remain hopeful that some games could be played there.
