End of an Era : Mon Jun 06, 2016 9:20 pm  

We have had a great 5 years

2011 4th 12-8 Lost Grand Final
2012 4th 12-1-5 Won Grand Final
2013 2nd 22-4 Won Grand Final
2014 5th 16-10 "owlerton Factor" Poor Year
2015 3rd 17-6 Super 8's won 2 matches

However this year being a full time side i expected us to improve but no chance we are in the relegation zone !!! hopefully we will survive but i would not put any money on it we still have 13 games to play (including the minus 8's or whatever it is called !!) so theres lot to play for but with our poor defence we are definitely in the relegation fight

Is it just me that thinks our downfall is very similar to leeds this year luckily for them they have the crowds and money so can regroup quite easily however for us this will be the last year that the likes of QLT Yere Worincy and our full time players will need to regroup next year hopefully still in the Championship but with 2 big questions no 1 does Mark Aston fancy rebuilding a new eagles side hopefully but would be a good opportunity for him to move and will we have a new stadium !!!

I watched your game against Fax at the week end as a neutral fan ,I can honestly say that is the WORST Sheff side I have seen for years, most of your players didn't look interested, Aston was laughing and joking with the Fax fans in the Stand,you have big problems at the moment , what they are I don't know but I would be worried if I was a Sheff fan.To your credit your fans were a very vocal bunch,I applaud them,when Wheldon was subbed he looked happy to be coming off, but you have problems.Charlie knows.

Wheldon ? A new signing ?

I meant Wheeldon, I see Tubbs is making noises about getting Riddy more chance of Angelic Cynic signing for Leigh.

I have just been informed that the Sheff fan Angelic Cynic has been banned from your Forum,I'm sure for whatever reason he was banned he regrets his action and should be given another chance , cmon we all say things we are sorry about , give the guy a break and reinstate him.Charles.

Charlie,
I have just seen this and courtesy of the admin.staff I am finally back.It's been a long wait.

I sincerely thank you for that.I have taken a risk in replying to you because that is why I was banned,back in November.


Staying on thread. End of an era? Nah.Still on course for The Championship Shield.Bit of silverware to carry into the new stadium.

2 members of the squad not only played in the final last year but scored tries.

Playing in that final last year hasn't done London Broncos too much harm.


Once again,Charlie.Sincere thanks.Top man.

Nothing to thank me for mate, I think a bit of common sense was used, and I applaud all the Administration folk like most on these Forums you are just a Fan who loves his Club, loves a bit of banter ,and won't let others run his Club down,I get on great with most Fans but at times I have received a bit of stick,water of a ducks back.
It's great to see you back, I sincerely want to see Sheff now start winning and start climbing the table. Welcome back.

viewtopic.php?f=19&t=596206 The above has been posted on the Bradford bulls forum. If true, it rather explains why you guys are struggling as a full time club. This shows the dangers of relying totally on one investor, no matter how sincere their intentions. I really do hope that a 'true' investor can come along and put you back on the front foot, and that your new stadium is soon up and running, to give you the security you need. Meanwhile, thank goodness for Ian Swire and his good wife!

And the news gets worst Ian Swire will be stepping down at the end of the season so there is every chance that this could be our last season !! With no crowds and no funding we can't continue as we are especially as full time side I cant really blame the players too much they know that they will need to find another club next season. I am shocked we have not had any offers for some of our players. If you were told at your workplace that in 3 months you will probably be losing your job with no payoff would you work hard and be committed to your employers I doubt it !!

Unfortunately the future is not bright just hoping funding can be found so we can continue next season i dont even care if we are relegated it might be easier to regroup in a lower division
