I'm not sure going on this bus was the most sensible idea I've ever had.

There will be NO EXCUSES from the Leythers ,we are going to WIN NO PROBLEMS , CHARLIE KNOWS , Leythers are a very proud bunch of lads i forsee Tubbs moaning , nowt new there , and Leythers celebrating another GF .

You may be right Charlie.

Here's to a good game.

This!

Unfortunately I am speaking at a conference at Sheffield City Hall which only finishes at 6pm (supposedly!) so what are the odds I will make kick off?

Any tips on the best place to park so that I can get out of the City ASAP and in the right direction?

Good luck Eagles and may the best team win (I just hope it is Leyth!).

It will be tight mate, been to Leigh loads of times and it usually takes an hour and a half on a good run.

As for parking;

Where can I park?
There is no on site parking at Sheffield City Hall. However, there are city centre car parks within easy walking distance.

SIV recommend Q Park on Rockingham Street, S1 4NL. £3 for 24 hours. All parking tickets must be purchased in advance before entering the car park from the City Hall Box Office over the phone on 0114 223 3700 or in person.

There are limited car parking areas for blue badge holders on streets close to the City Hall.

The nearest car parks are Carver Street (1 min walk) or NCP on Campo Lane (1 min walk). NCP, Campo Lane car park offer a £3 rate for any events until 11.59pm. Please validate your token at the City Hall Box Office.

Just google mapped it and it says exactly 1 hour 30 so you might just make it, good luck!

Park on the one on Carver Street.

Cheers guys - I got 1 1/2 hours on my satnav so it depends if I get away on time!

Good luck.

what a great ref!
sod it I'm in crete next week!

The hoodoo continues and it will get harder and harder to break,Defensivly awesome,Duane Straffer had a wow off a game,Cant see QLT being in the final,Who cares lets do it.

No problems, eh?





Good job I like you Charlie, hope you'll have one foot in Sheffield's camp on Sunday at least.

The taxi has gone from Halifax to Warrington, with a detour via Leigh!

Well we were great in the first half and not very good in the second! We made some poor decisions and they should have never been allowed to get that close at the end - although if they hadn't we wouldn't have had Menzie's last minute try - wild celebrations whilst some 89 year old Leigh fan was asking how many fans we'd take to the final!! Obsessed!!

No complaints from any Leythers I have spoken to.

After taking 2 hours to get from Sheff to Leigh (40 minutes sat on Mottram Moor!) you guys were 18 - 0 up when I arrived and so I think we won 22 -14!!!!

Seriously you took your chances well, dominated the ruck and deserved the win even though we could have pinched it at the end.

We need to brush ourselves down, get the injured patched up and start to add a bit more depth for next year.

You? Go and give Fev a game and do the Championship proud.

Yours in sport,

Toady

Me after 70 mins, calmness personified, "they've scored two tries in 70 mins, they're not going to score three in ten"

Me after 75 mins, "we've blown it."

Funny old game!

Fantastic performance Eagles - now beat them Flatcappers.

Charlie WAS WRONG

no sour grapes from me , you deserved to win



we cant give teams like you an 18 point start and expect to win , though we nearly did , i was on the edge of my seat , late on thinking we Can win this , but it wasnt meant to be .

Paul Rowley played the hand he had , no complaints we needed a couple of big forwards on the bench , but didnt have them due to injury , good luck in the Final , CHARLIE WILL RETURN NEXT SEASON





,funny enough i like Don Valley , have a good close season , and to you ESO , have a good Christmas and New Year , see ya next year .



.

Cheers Charlie and the other gracious Leythers we met last night

I'm still laughing how we got told to sit down whilst celebrating a try, yet the entire stand is allowed to stand up for 10 minutes at half time.

He threatened to chuck me out at half time!





Cheers Charlie.

Well done Sheffield.









Mind you had I been reffing.

Good luck a week Sunday. I will be there too.

there wont be 5,000 on on sunday week now ,and if the Eagles spend as much time slowing the game down and wasting time as they did last night there won't be much action either. good luck Featherstone.

eeee lad getting knocked out of the challenge cup in such gratuitous fashion is still smarting isn't it owd cock!

Chin up sunshine

Well done Eagles!
It would be nice if we can make it a South Yorkshire double.

I was on the phone to Eagleblade earlier and we both said we hope Donny get there, would be good to have a few more South Yorkshire folk cheering us on in the final!

as opposed to those from South Yorkshire cheering on Fev!

Strange breed!
