This club was a SL team and I see no reason why it can't be again..

Tim and the cub did great promoting the Widnes and Leigh games this season and yes there was a good away following but we got over 1,800 for both those matches and it's something ( I know it's easier said than done), that must be done at a lot more home games.

I was sat behind 3 lads at the Leigh game who live in Sheffield but have never been to watch the Eagles and watch SL on the TV now and again and have drove up to watch Castleford a few times. They thought the atmosphere, ground, entertainment etc was great but we got drubbed 44-8 or something so I doubt they'll be back.

It's about retaining the people we actually get through which does take time and money. As i've said before my 1st match was the 1st Bramall Lane game last year and brought 6 RL newbies with me.

I didn't get any contact after I bought my tickets and I've come back off my own back but obviously other people aren't as easily persuaded to follow the Eagles on a weekly basis...

I wouldn't fancy being second. Standing about waiting a month for a game ? Maybe more if there was a Wembley week in there - not to mention being the odd team out of 11.

The old five team playoff system was better.

Yes, I quite liked that. There was a good principle of one tream dropping out each week.

I still think the crowrds don't justify a long play-off seriers though.

What about the old four team system the Aussies used ?

Week One

1 v 2

3 v 4 (losers out)

Week Two

Loser 1/2 v Winner 3/4 (losers out)

Week Three

Winner 1/2 v Winner from week 2
